“A Court of Wings and Ruin” By Sarah J. Maas Review

Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin’s actions and learn what she can about the invading king threatening to bring her land to its knees. But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit. One slip could bring doom not only for Feyre, but for everything-and everyone-she holds dear.

This book is the third book in the “A Court of Thorns and Roses” book series. And I gotta say that so far this series is getting better and better with each book I read.

The plot here is very interesting because it involves so much action. We get battle preparations and a battle itself which were very very interesting and I didn’t noticed when I read this book. Because I was so much clued to this book and just couldn’t bring myself to put it down and stop reading it.

The sexual aspect, wasn’t so frequent as in the 2 previous books, because this book focused more on the action aspect which of course is the battle and the battle preparation which this book goes through. I personally didn’t miss it, because the action it was replaced with makes up for it. 

The writing style in this book is even better than the writing style in the first and second book. Somehow Sarah J Maas improved her amazing writing style for this book. Its even more interesting and it grabs your attention from the first page and doesn’t let it go until the very end of this book. Which I personally love when it happens in books. 

The writing style was very very good. It was almost like the author knew what words to use to completely grab my attention and to not let it go until the very end of this book. 

The characters in this book are even more incredible and amazing than in the first and second book of this series. 

Each of the character had so much character development in this book as well as in the entire series as a whole. I gotta admit that with each book of this series I read and I cant help but fall more in love with the characters of this series. 

The ending in this book was a roller coaster ride of emotions. I cant say what happens since I don’t want to give away spoilers for people who haven’t read this book or the series yet. But wow, I wasn’t expecting such an satisfying and emotional wreaking ending to this book.

I Give This Book 5 / 5

“Darth Plagueis” By James Luceno Review

Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious, Master and acolyte, target the galaxy for domination–and the Jedi Order for annihilation. But can they defy the merciless Sith tradition? Or will the desire of one to rule supreme, and the dream of the other to live forever, sow the seeds of their destruction?

This book gives us background information which takes place before “Revenge of the Sith” movie. And we finally learn all about the “Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise”.

I gotta say that after reading this book Darth Plagueis. I gotta admit that he became one of my favorite characters from Star Wars. Because there are a lot of aspects about him that makes him deserve his own show.

If you have read the Darth Maul books and Star Wars comic series you will notice that this book reuses information about Darth Plagueis rather than giving us some new info about Darth Plagueis. But this book book gives us this information in its unique way so dont worry this book doesn’t feel like reading Darth Maul books. 

The writing style in this book is very good. It feels like the author knew what words to use to completely grab your attention and not let it go until the very end. The writing style played very well with the plot and action of this book which really made me give this book some extra points for doing that.

The ending of this book is very very good. Its very satisfying and it is something we as the readers deserved after reading the entire book. The ending of this book also gives us a lot of potential of sequels of this book and like this could be a part of a series about Darth Sidious.

This book involves a lot of characters we already know about like Darth Maul, Count Dock and it mentions characters like Anakin, Padme,  Obi Wan, Qui-Gon Jinn, Yoda but we also get some more of the characters we can see in the movies and series. 

This book is very slow and it contains a lot of political intrigues and action rather than the lightsaber action. We get real Sith action at the end of this book but other than that the real action is Darth Sidious as Sheev Palpatine doing his political schemes. 

If you want to learn more about Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious than this book is the go-to here. Because this book is about Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious. But it also shows us how Sheev Palpatine become THE POLITICIAN in the star wars universe. 

This book is also a good stand alone book, even thou it has the potential to become the first book of a series of books.

“Absolute Power 2024 FCBD Special Edition #1” By Mark Waid & Mikel Janín Review

The prelude to the biggest DC Comics event of 2024 is here! It’s a story 30 years in the making… and in this special Free Comic Book Day tale, the final domino to fall in an epic scheme comes tumbling down, and the DC Universe will never be the same. More details coming soon!

I gotta admit that the plot of this comic book is very very interesting, tis book isn’t as much about the DC Comics superhero as much as it is about Amanda Waller and all the shady things and experiments she been doing. Which for me personally was very interesting because I always thought that Amanda Waller was one of the most underrated characters from the DC Comics Universe.

The plot in this comic book is engaging, interesting, enjoyable and thought-provoking because this comic book talks about moral complexities of power and responsibility.

The dialogue in this comic book is very good because it the dialogues used in this comic book felt very realistic and something I would use in real life. Which in a way got me to give this comic book some extra points for.

The characters here are very good, because they have in a way a lot of depth and personality to them which can be seen through the drawings and dialogues of this comic book.

The narrative which is being used in this comic book has a sense of urgency and drama to it which I really liked because it kept me sitting at the edge of my sit during the entire read of this comic book.

“Free Comic Book Day 2021: Spider-Man/Venom #1” By Zeb Wells & Ram V. & Bryan Hitch & Al Ewing Review

Free Comic Book Day is the perfect chance to dive deep into the Marvel Universe with new stories and exciting adventures alongside some of Marvel’s most acclaimed creators – and this year, Marvel is bringing you the biggest and boldest stories yet! Plus, a Venom story written by Al Ewing & Ram V with art by Bryan Hitch that leads directlt into their run on VENOM. Starring Spider-Man and Venom!

I need to admit that this comic book is easily now my second favorite comic book so far in my life at least. Because it is very very good.

The spider-man part of this comic book is about spider man having a new suit and going into a hostage rescue missing. And I gotta say that a part of me didn’t want it to end because I found it to be so interesting and enjoyable. The entire spider man part really got me sitting on the edge of my sit during the entire read of that part. 

As for the venom part of this comic book, I gotta say that it is just as interesting as the spider-man part of this comic book. But the plot of that really was something new to be since I never actually got around to where Eddie Brock and venom being the king(s) of all the symbiotes. Which really got me interested in that aspect and a part of me wished that the venom part of this comic book would have been much longer so that we really could put myself into the plot and how much potential it has for at least a very good short movie about venom.

There is a lot of action in both of the parts of this comic book, and the action is very very good. And I personally really loved reading that.

At the same time I gotta admit that the The artwork in this comic book, was very very good. It was very stunning and so beautiful which really speaks about how much time and effort the artist behind the drawings at put into this comic book.

“Free Comic Book Day 2024: Star Wars #1” By Charles Soule & Ibraim Roberson & Ramon Rosanas & Greg Pak Review

Are there REBEL survivors stranded on HOTH? LUKE SKYWALKER, LEIA ORGANA, LANDO CALRISSIAN and CHEWBACCA mount a dangerous rescue mission to ECHO BASE! Lightsabers! Blasters! Snowtroopers! All-out action amongst the wreckage of AT-AT walkers, Rebel airspeeders and frozen weapons of mass destruction! DARTH VADER employes a surprise character from the past to help him find LUKE SKYWALKER. But SABE, former handmaiden of PADME AMADALA is also on a quest for the son of Vader. Having worked for him as an IMPERIAL COMANDER, Sabe has enough resources to cause chaos for anyone who stands in her path. How will this affect the DARK LORD’S plans to remove PALPATINE from power?

This comic book has to be my all time favorite comic book I’ve read so far in my life. And why that is, I will of course explain in this review because thats why I’m writing it in the end.

This comic has so good plot lines. In this comic book we get two plot lines, one following Luke, Leia, Chewie and Lando and the second plot line follows Darth Vader’s scheme to capture Luke. And I gotta say that both of those plot line gave me huge nostalgia to my very first time watching the Star Wars movie. And solely because of this I cant help myself but love this comic book even more than I already did from getting the amazing plot lines. 

The artwork in this comic book is so very good, which really at times made me feel like I was watching a animated star wars short movie rather than reading a comic book. Which of course made me give this comic book extra points for doing.

There is a lot of character development in a way happening in this comic book, and there is a lot of the OG Star Wars action. Like gun action and the Sith intriguing and scheming going on. Which really thats why star wars is so much fun for me personally at least. 

The narrative of both stories in this comic book feel very familiar to what we expect from star wars content (movies, series, comic books, books and video games) but at the same time both of the stories in this comic book feel fresh. By fresh I mean that it doesn’t feel like it is just copying everything else we have seen in the past in the star wars movies. The author and the artist gives us the Star Wars familiarity of what makes Star Wars, Star Wars but at the same time it gives us a new storyline and expends the universe in a way. 

We get the OG star wars characters in this comic book, but we also get 2 new characters and oh boy I would love to see more of the 2 new characters we get in this comic book. 

If you are a star wars fan (like myself) and you are looking to start your journey with star wars comic book then easily (in my opinion) this comic book is a very good place to start that journey.

“You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life” By Jen Sincero Review

In this refreshingly entertaining how-to guide, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author and world-traveling success coach, Jen Sincero, serves up 27 bite-sized chapters full of hilariously inspiring stories, sage advice, easy exercises, and the occasional swear word. If you’re ready to make some serious changes around here, You Are a Badass will help you: Identify and change the self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviors that stop you from getting what you want, blast past your fears so you can take big exciting risks, figure out how to make some damn money already, learn to love yourself and others, set big goals and reach them – it will basically show you how to create a life you totally love, and how to create it now.

I gotta say that this book is probably the best self help book Ive read this year. This talks about some pretty useful things which I personally found to be helpful. At the same time this book offers you some great techniques to make your life better.

The writing style in this book was very good, because it was like the author knew exactly what words to use too completely grab your attention and to not let it go until the very end of the book.

If you been following this website for a while then you will know that I’ve reviewed my fair share of self-help books in the past, but this one is unique because it talks about things which weren’t mentioned in the books I read in the best which really made me give this book some extra points for.

At the same time this book motivates you to actually put to use al the things which this book talks about. Which for me it rarely happens when a self-help book actually motives me rather than throw some mental health tactics down my throat.

At the same time this book is very easy and fun to read. Which really surprised me because most self help books turns out to be very uninteresting for me to read. But this one was different. I actually enjoyed reading this one.

This book is very hard to put down, because its so interesting and fun to read. I personally read this book in one day because I was so sucked into it and I just couldn’t put it down.

“Zaginięcie” By Remigiusz Mróz Review

Trzyletnia dziewczynka znika bez śladu z domku letniskowego bogatych rodziców. Alarm przez całą noc był włączony, a okna i drzwi zamknięte. Śledczy nie odnajdują żadnych poszlak świadczących o porwaniu i podejrzewają, że dziecko nie żyje. Doświadczona prawniczka, Joanna Chyłka, i jej początkujący podopieczny, Kordian Oryński, podejmują się obrony małżeństwa, któremu prokuratura stawia zarzut zabójstwa. Proces ma charakter poszlakowy, mimo to wszystko zdaje się wskazywać na winę rodziców – wszak gdy wyeliminuje się to, co niemożliwe, cokolwiek pozostanie, musi być prawdą.

This book is available in polish, Russian and English, at the time of writing this review. Having out of the way we can start talking about this book.

This book is the second book in “Chyłka & Zordon” series. After reading and loving the first book in this series I was afraid that I wouldn’t like so much this second book and that it would be less impressive than the first book. But this book is just as interesting and enjoyable as the first book in this series. 

The plot in this book is a little bit less interesting than in the first book. But it is still very very interesting and it sucks you right into the plot. And I personally couldn’t put this book down because I was so sucked into this book, and even when I wasn’t reading this book I was thinking about this book all the time because I wanted to know what will happen next.

This book has more humor and joking from the main character than what we got in the first book, so under this aspect this book is a little bit better than the first book because the jokes the main characters make throughout this book it makes the whole book less tense.

I had some problems with the ending in this book, because the ending was very rushed and it felt like the author himself didn’t know what the ending should be liked so he just rushed through the last chapters of this book.

There is a big plot twists where of course the whole mystery gets solved and we see what truly happened to the little girl which vanished from the house in the middle of the night. And I loved the plot twists at the ending because you were like “of course that this must have happened, I should have thought about this but I didn’t”. The solution for the vanishing of the little girl is all over the book, but you just don’t think about it. 

The writing style in this book is very very incredible because its like the author knows what words to use to completely grab your attention with is. The writing style also plays very well with the plot, characters and setting.

The main characters in this book which of course are Joanna Chyłka and Kordian Oryński are even better than they were in the first book. And you can see the character development they had from book one. They are still the same characters they were in the first book, but in this book they seem smarter from what they went through in the first book.

In a way Joanna Chyłka and Kordian Oryński have more personality in this book than what they had in the first book. I liked them much more in this book than in the first book because both this second book and the first book are on the larger size so it means that you spend a lot of time with them which makes it easier for you to like them.

We also get new characters in this book, they were also very very good character. Not as good as the main characters but still they were good and I liked them a lot. They had their unique personalities which made me like them even more.

The edition I have of this book is 506 pages long, and I was so sucked into this book that I didn’t notice the length of this book and I read this book much faster than I expected.

“Kasacja” By Remigiusz Mróz Review

Syn biznesmena zostaje oskarżony o zabicie dwóch osób. Sprawa wydaje się oczywista. Potencjalny winowajca spędza bowiem 10 dni zamknięty w swoim mieszkaniu w towarzystwie ciał zamordowanych osób. Sprawę prowadzi Joanna Chyłka, pracująca dla bezwzględnej, warszawskiej korporacji. Nieprzebierająca w środkach prawniczka, która zrobi wszystko, by odnieść zwycięstwo w batalii sądowej. Pomaga jej młody, zafascynowany przełożoną, aplikant Kordian Oryński. Czy jednak wspólnie zdołają doprowadzić sprawę do szczęśliwego finału?

This book is available in polish and English at the time of writing this review. So all the English speaking readers can also get hacked up with this book.

I gotta say that this book was a wild ride, and I loved every second of it. And Im very happy that I finally got to read this book and start the series. Because since 2015 I’ve heard a ton of good things about this book and whole series, I was very reluctant to read this book because I thought that I wouldn’t like it but oh boy, I was wrong. After finishing this book I have to say that I love this fucking book.

The beginning of this book is very intriguing because you don’t know whats is going on, you follow Kordian who have been accepted to very prestige law firm in Warsaw as a apprentice. We don’t know what to expect, what will happen to him or anything. Kordian gets quickly assigned to a mentor who is also the junior associate of the law firm, and her name is Joanna Chyłka. 

The plot is very very good, I was completely sucked into this book and I found it impossible trying to put this book down. Because I needed to know what will happen next and I was so deep into this book that during the time I was reading this book nothin else mattered to me. Which really honest happen so often to me.

All the characters here are very good, and to be honest I wouldn’t have any problems with becoming very good friends with each of the characters in this book. All of the characters in this book have huge personality, and something which really makes you like them a lot. You even come to like the one of the name partners of the law firm which really portrayed as the bad guy in the law firm, you know but you come slowly to the point where you like him as well.

When it comes to the two main characters of this book (and the whole series) which of course as Kordian Oryński and Joanna Chyłka. And oh boy, I cant even explain how much I love these two characters. Even thou they have met in this book, they have like the best relationship ever. Their relationship is of best friends who have know each other for decades and who aren’t afraid to roast each other at times. But also they two have a spark between them, there are moments where they almost kiss. And I kept wondering when during the series the become a official couple.

Kordian Oryński is straight out of law university and of course he doesn’t have a lot of experience as a lawyer but you can very easily see how create of a lawyer he will become within the next couple of books in this series. 

And don’t get me even started about Joanna Chyłka, she is a bad as. She is easily the best female character I came across so far in my life. Very quickly in this book she secured herself a firm and secure spot in my heart and in my mind.

As for the rest of the characters in this book they are as good of characters as the main characters. Even the bad guy in this book which of course is the client which Kordian Oryński and Joanna Chyłka are representing is oh boy, amazing. The bad guy in this book is all over the place, because he gives a very weird vibe like there is something he is hiding and you just cant decide is he is innocent or if he has committed the crimes he is charged for.

The writing style here is incredible. Because its like the author knows what words to use to grab your attention. The writing style here was a part of the charm of this book because it very very good. 

The entire book is very interesting, enjoyable and I knew within the first 100 pages of this book that 5 stars rating isn’t enough to show how much I love this book.

This book doesn’t have the fastest speed, it tends to be more on the slow side of things but it really makes up for this fact. Because it goes through everything which happens in this book more in detail and in doing so it sucks you deeper into it just like if you are the lawyer in this book and learning everything as things comes up. 

The ending of this book has a huge plot twist here, because the closer and closer to the ending the more of the hopeless feeling you get about the two main characters losing their court case for their client. I cant say what will happen in the ending of this book, because I don’t want to spill the tea for anyone who hasn’t read the book yet. But just be prepared the ending will be a huge “what the fuck happened here?” Moment.

“Dooku: Jedi Lost” By Cavan Scott Review

Darth Tyranus. Count of Serenno. Leader of the Separatists. A red saber, unsheathed in the dark. But who was he before he became the right hand of the Sith? As Dooku courts a new apprentice, the hidden truth of the Sith Lord’s past begins to come to light. Dooku’s life began as one of privilege—born within the stony walls of his family’s estate, orbited by the Funeral Moon where the bones of his ancestors lie interred. But soon, his Jedi abilities are recognized, and he is taken from his home to be trained in the ways of the Force by the legendary Master Yoda.

This book has to be easily one of the top best books I’ve read during this year. I love star wars and I loved this book.

However its important to say that this book is more of a full script rather than a regular book. But I still loved it a lot. Reading this book I could easily image how a movie based of this script would look like, and because of this I gave this book some extra point.

The plot was were interesting, enjoyable and very very attention grabbing. The plot is very unique and it brings a lot to the history of Count Dooku, because it involves a lot of memories from Dooku’s past when he was training to be a Jedi knight, when he was a padawan to Yoda, when he became a Jedi Knight, when he became a member of the Jedi Council, when he turned to the dark side and his family relationships. Which was really interesting to learn about in detail.

From the moment I started reading this book, I became clued to this book and I couldn’t put it away because I was completely sucked into the plot and the characters. 

I personally think that Dooku is one of the underestimate and under hyped characters in the star wars universe. And this book really proves that he truly is an underestimated character and that we for sure need to see more of him and should have more books and a tv show about him.

If you ever wondered how Dooku got to be the character he was in the movies, then this book will give you all the answers because this whole book is all about him and you will revisit all of his past memories to how and why he got to be who he is in the movies.

I cant say much about the writing style in this book, since its a script rather than a normal novel. And I don’t know how or if it is even possible to review a writing style in a script.

If you are a fan of star wars then you should read this book. If you want to get into reading star wars books than this book is one of the best choices to start your journey with when it comes to star wars book. Because it will give you a good example of how good star wars books can get. But at the same time it will suck you into the star wars books.

The ending here was a little bit unexpected and it really gives us a huge plot twist, and because of the ending am a little mixed up about this book. And I dont know what I should feel about the ending because it was so good.

“Turtles All the Way Down” By John Green Review

Aza Holmes never intended to pursue the disappearance of fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett, but there’s a hundred-thousand-dollar reward at stake and her Best and Most Fearless Friend, Daisy, is eager to investigate. So together, they navigate the short distance and broad divides that separate them from Pickett’s son Davis. Aza is trying. She is trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, and maybe even a good detective, while also living within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.

To be very honest here, this book surprised me a lot because it was much better than I expected it to be. I didn’t know anything about this book before reading it and let me tell you that this book is very good.

I started reading this book without knowing much about it, and it might have been a good things because I didn’t have any expectations for this book. 

The writing style in this book is very very good, its like the author knew what words to use to completely grab my attention. 

The plot here is very unique here because is about teen girl trying to solve a murder while she is dealing with mental health issue. A lot of these things the plot talked about mental health problems was really relatable for me personally.

I haven’t come across a plot like this one yet so I give the plot in this book some extra points. Because I really really liked it.

The characters in this book weren’t quite the perfect character, but they were good character not like in the previous John Green book I’ve read which was “Paper Towns” were the characters were so damn annoying and shallow. But this book and its characters were very good. 

I liked all of the characters in this book, because all of the characters in this book had their own unique personalities and they had something which made them unique. At the same time they felt like they were real human beings because they had so much personality. And the main characters problems with mental health with anxiety and OCD to be more specific made her feel even more real. Because her issues with mental health felt very similar to my anxiety and panic attacks. And I couldn’t help but relate to her a lot. And feel what she goes through because I go through the same things as she does.

This book will for sure stick with me for a long time because I liked it so much. But also the reason why it will stick with me for a long time is because it truly and accurately describes how it feels like living with anxiety and OCD. This book is very accurate with its descriptions about what goes through your mind when you are living with anxiety and OCD.
