Mickey7 (Mickey 7 #1)
Mickey7 wastes a promising premise with derivative sci-fi, poor world-building, flat characters and major plot holes. Disappointing. 3/10
-
Night (The Night Trilogy #1)
Night by Elie Wiesel is an essential harrowing tale of survival and lost humanity among the Holocaust’s horrors. 10/10
-
Iron Flame (The Empyrean #2)
Iron Flame disappoints with poor world-building, immature characters, and predictable plot. It’s peak YA trash with dragons but it’s very entertaining. 6/10
-
Fourth Wing (The Empyrean #1)
Fourth Wing: Fun YA fantasy with dragons, romance, and action. Despite the teen angst, and weak world-building, it’s entertaining, a real guilty pleasure. 7/10
-
The Seven Year Slip
The Seven Year Slip is a forgettable time travel romance with a weak plot and unearned love story. Painfully average. 5.5/10
-
Tangled Up In You (Meant To Be #4)
Tangled Up In You: Disney’s Tangled as a romance book with charming leads but weak plot and the story struggles with its darker themes. 6/10.
-
The Return of The King (The Lord of The Rings #3)
The Return of The King is a finale rich in lore and depth, with many standout moments. A bittersweet farewell to a world built with heartfelt care. 8.5/10
-
The Two Towers (The Lord Of The Rings #2)
The Two Towers shines in Ent lore, Saruman’s chilling presence, and rich worldbuilding, but Frodo’s half stalls with its weak pacing. 7.5/10
-
The Fellowship Of The Ring (The Lord Of The Rings #1)
The Fellowship of the Ring is dense and slow-paced, but rich in lore and world-building. A slog to read, but an amazing tale. 9/10

Famous
Famous by Blake Crouch is a gripping 1-sit thriller that starts fast but ends abruptly, falling short of its potential. 6.5/10
