The Devils by Joe Abercrombie

The Devils

By Joe Abercrombie

This was really in danger of being a 1 out of 5, but it finally picked up steam later in the book. I wasn't able to keep track of main characters until they finally clicked at one point. I don't think I will continue the series.

Life Is Strange by Kaitlin Tremblay

Life Is Strange

By Kaitlin Tremblay

This one is tough, some really good reflections on the game being written about, but also the author posits that her opinion and interpretation are the right one on a few parts of the book.

The Road to Tender Hearts by Annie Hartnett

The Road to Tender Hearts

By Annie Hartnett

Super sweet and lovely story, even if the beginning is some of the darkest first 25 pages I've read in a bit. A few too many happy coincidences for my liking though.

Legend of the River King

One of my favorite of the Boss Fight Books series, a delightful little adventure through a game I hadn't heard of.

Never Flinch by Stephen King

Never Flinch

By Stephen King

Another fun Holly story, nothing too incredible to remember, but the two villains were quite fun to follow with a multiple identity disorder person and someone else obsessed with justice. Some really cool new characters to the universe as well.

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

The Pillars of the Earth

By Ken Follett

What a grand epic while also having incredibly interesting characters to follow the whole time. A Game of Thrones style politicking without the fantasy twist. Really loved it.
