This book is quite enjoyable. It contains a lot of masterly plot twists and once you start reading, it almost compels you to read on without stopping. Some this book is slow-paced, which is not completely true, in my humble opinion. Although the pace might be a bit slow in a certain way, the story keeps carrying you on and thus it can feel like a medium paced or even fast paced book.

StoryDragon reviewed Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift
Nice, but more notes than pages.
4 stars
It was quite a nice book to read. It is a satire, though I am quite sure that I did not notice everything. Actually, if it weren't for the introduction and notes, I would not have recognized a lot of things. But that is probably logical, since there are more notes than pages...

StoryDragon reviewed Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence
A book containing much explicit sexual descriptions
3 stars
I did not completely enjoy reading this book. There were a bit too much explicit scenes. Putting that aside, the book mostly seems to be about the bad things of society. About how everyone only cares for money. This is stated several times throughout the book.
StoryDragon reviewed Warden by Delyth Angharad
Review of 'Warden' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I liked reading Warden. It is quite gentle and lightly written and there is humour! Delyth also uses a lot of nice words in this novella.
There were some words that I have never read before and actually I really love that. There were so much delightful words! I mean, I do not often come across a work where the word 'gaol' is used, so I love it when I see it being used. It might seem old-fashioned, but that is what I like about it.
I really liked the writing style of this novella!

StoryDragon reviewed Books & Bone by Veo Corva (Tombtown, #1)
Incredibly written
5 stars
Books & Bone is an absolutely amazing book about a girl named Ree who lives in a necromancer city. She was the first child to grow up in Tombtown, a city for necromancers. Though she doesn't feel like one of them, she has seen what necromancy does with people, and she doesn't like that. She wants another kind of magic, thought of as fairytales.
It is just an amazing book. Every day once I started reading, it was nearly impossible to stop. There is much adventure and it is very exciting. I love the way things are written. In the end there are so much nice plot twists, I really adore that.
Tuesday I finished it. I had the book with me to school and as always I arrived half an hour too early. So I started reading. I kept reading and I had to read out aloud to prevent …

Tuesday I finished it. I had the book with me to school and as always I arrived half an hour too early. So I started reading. I kept reading and I had to read out aloud to prevent myself to keep able to concentrate on it, because there was a mare and more noise around me, made by all the other people waiting for school to start. Once it was time to go upstairs to the classroom, I kept sitting down for a moment, I had almost finished the book. I could simply not put it away. I took the book for a moment in one hand, slowly grabbed my bag, and continued reading. I continued reading as I walked up the stairs. Once I arrived upstairs, I had just one and a half page left to read. I read that pages as I took off my jacket and walked into the classroom. I finished it just a moment after I came to my spot in the classroom. It was really nice.

StoryDragon reviewed Non-Player Character by Veo Corva
Absolutely amazing
5 stars
Non-Player Character is an absolutely lovely book about adults who get unexpectedly teleported to a different world, where they have magic and other special abilities. It is not only about their wonderful adventure in Vanthis, but it is also about how changing your setting doesn't change you. It is about how everyone has their own difficulties and so much more. It is just an incredibly well-written book and I truly recommend you to read it if you haven't already. This might be one of the few books that I want to read a second or maybe even a third time. Maybe this has actually became one of my favourite books.
