Son of a Witch

by Gregory Maguire
- Rated 4 stars
“Very Entertaining. There were some parts I felt that the story got rather confusing, but over all a really fun and satisfying sequel to Wicked. The audio book version was really well done, with voice acting done in such a way that you as a reader are really pulled into its world.”

The Blade Itself

by Joe Abercrombie
- Rated 4 stars
“I loved this book. at first I found the characters a bit exaggerated and yet as the i got deeper into the book I saw how wrong i was and kept reading more and more wanting to know what happened to them next. There were so many surprises in this book that there was really no dull moment for me whilst reading it. ”

Red Seas Under Red Skies

by Scott Lynch
- Rated 4 stars
“another great book from the author and another captivating adventure from the gentlemen bastards. after getting over the confusion of the sailing terms as they filled up the page, the more I read, the more the book comes to life. ”

The Silmarillion

by J. R. R. Tolkien
- Rated 4 stars
“this had that history and mythology feel to it that really appealed to me. I think anyone who is keen to learn more of the lore in the LOTR books should deffinitely give the Silmarillion a go. Alone, the Silmarillion, hobbit, and LOTR make interesting reads, but taken all together as one, these fill in all the richness that Tolkien created with his Middle Earth.

The Lies of Locke Lamora

by Scott Lynch
- Rated 4 stars
“i agree with the review that was printed on the back of this book... it really did feel like ocean's 11 and robin hood... and a few other 'job' stories mixed into one.

Found the story to have been beautifully told, as the author goes from flash back to present scenario and giving apt details on both tellings. Just felt though that certain flashbacks were either too late or too early into the book. but still was deffinitely a fun read.”
