Book Reviews

Here will eventually be every review for everything I have read. For the time being only some of the more recent ones will be listed as transferring my older reviews to this new format requires a lot of manual labour and rewriting.

The Principles of Communism

The Principles of Communism is a brief, provocative primer outlining Engels’ vision of classless society. It’s idealistic yet compelling as a starting point.

La Corne des Sables d’Ivoire (Les Aventures du Pyro-Barbare et de Billy #2)

La Corne des Sables d’Ivoire fails as both story and CYOA. No real choices, bloated chapters, recycled jokes, and disappointing writing throughout. 2.5/10

Funny Story

Funny Story stumbles through predictable romcom tropes with a thin lead and frustrating drama, but still offers a decent, pretty sweet ride. 6.5/10.

Forward Collection

The Forward Collection is one standout tale (Summer Frost) in a sea of underwhelming misses. All ambitious concepts, but most stall before liftoff. 4.5/10.

The Bobiverse Series (Books 1-3)

The Bobiverse brims with clever ideas, uneven execution, and endless charm. Frustratingly shallow in parts, but still a lovable sci-fi standout. 9/10

Bookshops and Bonedust (Legends and Lattes #2)

Bookshops and Bonedust cosily deepens Viv’s story with better world building and charm, even if its character arcs sometimes fade into the background. 8.5/10
