Slow start, VERY slow. Middle of the book picks up the pace and becomes quite engaging
The very end is a wee bit predictive
Overall a nice message. An ok book
From one of the most highly celebrated young Chinese writers, three dazzling novellas of Northeast …
To me this fell flat. Reads a wee bit like Liu Cixin but just a little. Not enough to capture me the same way Liu does

Pretty meh book/story
Interesting idea but the execution is subpar
Forgot I had read this one 4 years ago 😅
Things sounded too familiar and now I know why
The Phoenix Project: A Novel About IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win is the …
I genuinely like the writing style. Writing int as a story is definitely infinitely better than any other "recipe" book.
That being said, as of 2024 this book reads full of cliches; and the MC being the macho American ex navy just destroys a bunch of different great points
Has interesting points but not mind blowing (obviously this is 11 years after initial writing)
Deadly storms have ravaged Mina’s homeland for generations. Floods sweep away entire villages, while bloody …
To me this reads like something from the same place where Studio Ghibli draws inspiration from.
The ambience of the story, the flow and the characters. I grabbed this book randomly and I'm so very happy I did
Big meh book. Lots of re-hashed stuff. It feels like it was written a lifetime ago as well
In the vibrant city-state of Castellane, the richest of nobles and the most debauched of …
So far this reads like a fusion of "The Daevabad Trilogy" meets "Shades of Magic"
And not a lot of differences other than the bare minimum to not make it a copy
In itself is not a bad book. But if you have read the other 2 sagas this just feels like a half baked copy
Quite interesting and fun style. Definitely enjoyed it

I was definitely not expecting that the Aven Essen would be the traitor!!
In hindsight it was quite obvious, but it surprised me so much that it was quite a nice touch for the ending of the book

A wee update. I didn't know about this book. Wasn't even sure what it was about when it popped in my library (audiobooks one)
Started listening without knowing a thing about it and imagine my surprise when the narration style seemed familiar, and then the universe felt quite similar to other stories; and then a character's description sounded a lot like old acquaintances... and next thing I know I'm in the Shades of Magic world and meeting with old friends (characters) that I had forgotten but quickly became comfortable with one another
That's it. That's the update
Digital Fortress is a techno-thriller novel written by American author Dan Brown and published in …
This book is terrible. Flat characters and a very boring story :/ Honestly don't understand the hype for Dan Brown.
Perhaps he has better works but at least this one was plain and painful
Heretics of Dune is a 1984 science fiction novel by Frank Herbert, the fifth in …
From the entire saga so far; I'm finding this book less engaging. I'm haven't a hard time consuming it and the whole gist of it still escapes me
I'm hoping it will gain momentum as I continue with it
