I actually read this at the end of last year and was really impressed. I wanted to review it right away but when I went to buy the rest of the series (all 3 are out) they weren’t available.
The one time I’m reasonable with book buying it bite me in the butt.
I love the idea of telling stories of the women of antiquity and specifically the women of The Trojan War has become a popular topic recently so I jumped at the chance to pick up A Thousand Ships.
Overall it’s a good book. I enjoyed it I just find myself almost bummed (don’t know if that’s the right word) that the women who stand out so brightly in this book are the ones with the stories that always have.
The new Sarah J. Maas book is getting released this week and I’m both scared and shockingly looking forward to it. I mean if any book is going to break the cycle of Eh books I’ve been on it will be this one.
See I don’t need to love a book at this point I just want to feel something other than, “Well that was a book.”
I may only just beginning my Sanderson deep dive but even I know talking about how great he is at the magic is not exactly a hot take. But despite some trepidation about this book I was intrigued by the magic mystery more than enough to forgive its flaws.
I’m weighing all my book options and waiting to see which way the wind blows…
The Project was one of my most anticipated reads this year. One of my all time favorite authors and two of my favorite book subjects: sister relationships and cults.
And in the grand old expectation game I came away kind of cold. Nothing hitting like I expected it to.
The first line of the synopsis of One of the Good Ones is that it’s a cross between The Hate U Give and Get Out.
Well I blanked or forgot about the Get Out part by the time I got around to reading the arc because I was completely knocked for a loop in a what is happening kind of way?
So please definitely keep that in mind when reading.
It’s a New Year! I hope everyone’s New Years Eve was fun 🙂
I didn’t do any resolutions last year for anything which is good because for a multitude of reason I didn’t do shit but I did want to set some goals for myself this year. And the first might seem a little strange for me.
Trying to sum up 2020 would be hard even for entertainment only. It was the year The New Mutants actually released but Black Widow didn’t. The year I became a Boba Fett fan.
But looking back over the books, films, and shows of the year there were some treats that made me smile well worth celebrating!
Me: I really need to be reasonable next year with my book buying and maybe not pay so much attention to upcoming new releases.
Also Me: Oh my God! There are so many books!!!! Is doing four posts on this unreasonable?
