Fortune Favours the Dead by Stephen Spotswood

The tone of the book was unexpected. I went into an advance review copy a little late and without really checking up on the blurb. It was a pleasant surprise.The narrative tone throughout the book can only be referred to as gritty. We have in our lead character of Will, a woman who does not…

Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-Joo

Translation:Jamie Chang This is a book that has been making its rounds for quite a while, and when I saw it on the library shelf, I was tempted and gave in.It is a slim volume, and I thought I would be able to read it in a single sitting (even while I knew that it…

The Man Who Wasn’t There by Henrietta Hamilton

I have been waiting out my semi-lazy phase before pushing myself to find comfortable seating, good typing arrangements before I attempted to write a half-decent review. I know what I sound like when I am trying to write a review for the sake of one, and even if I fall behind on my count for…

Son of the Storm (The Nameless Republic #1) by Suyi Davies Okungbowa

If I have changed anything about my reading style in the last few years ( and I have changed a lot of things), I have tried more different types of fantasy fiction written by people from all over the world.This book depicts a very intricate political system that limits certain sections of society and uses…

Summer in the City by Emma Jackson

I read the previous book in this series quite recently: A Mistletoe Miracle. This book is still available to request as of the writing of this post When I finished the first book with the same characters, I felt like I had only read half a story. There were so many unresolved things, and Stephen's…
