Book Review: Nashoga by R. Weinstein (Redstone #1)

I originally read & reviewed this book back in 2015, but since my old reviews aren't any good, let's take another look at it! Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire #1)

Back in 2014-15 I first read the A Song of Ice and Fire series, I liked it then, though I didn't completely comprehend everything that was going on due to my mastery of the English language was far, far worse (I'm Dutch, remember?), and I'd mostly only read children's or YA books in English at that point. After reading it the first time, however, I didn't really feel any need to revisit it. I didn't own the books, simply borrowed them from an acquaintance.

But last year I happened to have been given a free copy of A Game of Thrones by one of my housemates. So sure, why not revisit it after all those years? Now I can finally figure out if it still holds up or if my opinion has changed.

Please note that this review includes a brief mention of several dark topics, including rape, an adult-minor relationship and incest. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Blackstar's Reckoning by Erin Hunter (Warriors Novella #21)

If there's any character I actually have wanted a POV-book for for a long time, it's Blackstar. Together with Leopardstar he's one of the major antagonists in the first arc, but both their stories haven't been told until recently. So let's dive right into his novella. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Spotfur's Rebellion by Erin Hunter (Warriors Novella #20)

 

Damn, can you guys believe there's 20+ of these already? And they just keep churning 'em out. I'm gonna be honest, though: I generally like the novellas, or at least the format in principal. Warriors has a huge cast of over 1000+ characters, with the main arcs being only restricted to a select few protagonists. So these novellas, alongside the Super Editions, are a great way to explore characters that don't get a lot of focus in the series. I actually prefer the novella format even more than Super Editions simply because they're short and get to the point. Some of the Super Editions are great, but they require a lot more commitment to get through than a quick novella.

So let's look at Spotfur's Rebellion. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Daisy's Kin by Erin Hunter (Warriors Novella #19)

 

 

Back to reviewing the older Warrior Cats novellas we go. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Heart of Darkness By Ethan Summers (The Dogs of the Spires #6)

 

Last book of the first arc (or second trilogy judging by the two first-arc box sets). Spoilers ahead!

Book Review: The Grizzly King by James Oliver Curwood

Also known as The Bear. 

And here I thought I was done reviewing Curwood's xenofictions. Guess not. It does help that this book (and his other works) is available for free due to being public domain. Spoilers ahead!

Book Review: The Secrets of the Wild Wood by Tonke Dragt (The Letter for the King #2)

 

Earlier I reviewed The Letter for the King, a popular Dutch YA book. Now it's finally time to take a look at its sequel. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Letter for the King by Tonke Dragt (The Letter for the King #1)

 

Back when I was actively doing book reviews on YouTube, this was actually the first book I reviewed! However, having lost my script for that review (if there was any to begin with, I'm pretty sure my early reviews may just have been unscripted), and with me being now 3 years down the line, I feel like I should just re-read the book for the review for this blog. Is it any good? Let's find out! Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Gift of the Wild by Elli H. Radinger

Note: The title of this book has been translated into English by me for the reading comprehension of this blog's viewers as the book itself isn't available in English (yet).

I've read one of Radinger's books, The Wisdom of Wolves, before, and I liked her writing style, so I picked up this book by her. As of now it hasn't been translated into English yet, but who knows, it might happen.

Book Review: Graystripe's Vow by Erin Hunter (Warriors Super Edition #13)

Finally catching up to the modern Warriors timeline, huh? I'm gonna be blatant and say that Graystripe isn't a character in this series I cared about since book one of the first series. Ever since Fire and Ice he kinda got on my nerves most of the time and he simply faded into the background in the modern books. Will this Super Edition be able to change my mind on this cat? Let's see. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Following the Last Wild Wolves by Ian McAllister

It's been a while since I reviewed a proper wolf non-fiction, so here we go. I've already taken a look at another book on the same wolf subspecies which was co-authored by McAllister as well!
