Elden Ring: The Road to the Erdtree
Funny but lore-light Elden Ring manga with rare trope restraint; starts rough, improves later, but slow releases hurt. 6.5/10
-
The Hunger Games Series (Books 1-3)
The books outshine the movies with deeper world-building, Katniss’ internal monologue and richer character development. Very solid YA dystopia. 7/10
-
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
-
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
-
Hidden Legacy Series
Behind the most forgettable story I have ever read hides some of the most amazing world building and magic system I have read. I want to read more of this and yet I don’t think Ilona Andrews have the know-how to exploit their own world to its fullest potential.
-
The Finlay Donovan Series
Finlay Donovan is a down on her luck single mother who gets thrown into the role of a professional killer. This absurd rom-com promises equal amounts of laughs and thrills but sadly falls short in almost every way as its premise gets stretched out for way too long and turns into very frustrating fast food.

The London Steampunk and The Blue Blood Conspiracy Series
One of my earlier reads, the London Steampunk and The Blue Blood Conspiracy are two urban fantasy romance series which came to set my standard for 7/10 and whilst they’re a bit generic and lean too much into the sex side of relationships, they’re still an overall fun adventurous time.

The Kate Daniels Series
Attempting to find Ilona Andrews’ magic of the Hidden Legacy series a second time in their Kate Daniels series ended up in disappointment. It ticks all the boxes of urban fantasy romance but does nothing with it and is a mostly boring stretched out read even if the romantic relationship itself is fine.
