Book Review: Skulls by Simon Winchester

 

A non-fiction book about skulls, let's dive right in.

Book Review: The Realm of Cats Chronicles: The Realm of the Snow Leopard by Nina van Veen

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). The original title reads De Kattenrijk Kronieken: Het rijk van de sneeuwpanter.

I honestly just instantly ordered this book when I first saw it recommended to me online because it looks really good, not just the cover but also the blurb and the genres (fantasy isekai animal xenofiction) really appealed to me. So let's have a look. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Nature's Giants by Graeme D. Ruxton

 

 

More non-fiction, this time about large animals. Enjoy!

Book Review: Misty and Vernin in Nowhere (Misty and Vernin #1)

 

A spinoff of an already good series (The Dogs of the Spires), this time taking place in a semi-nonsensical world with lesbian dogs, anthro's and dinosaurs. What more could you want? Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Blood on the Plains by Erin Hunter (Bravelands: Curse of the Sandtongue #3)

 

Remember when Erin Hunter wrote trilogy arcs instead of six-book arcs? Yeah, me neither. This is literally a first. My guess (and that of a bunch of others as well) is that the Bravelands books weren't selling well enough, so they cut the second arc short and made it a trilogy instead. 

I do fear what this means for future non-Warriors Erin Hunter series, however. I feel like I am one of the few who always likes checking out their other stuff aside from the cat series. I like Warriors fine, don't get me wrong, but I have always appreciated Hunter branching out to other animals and series rather than just keeping up the Warriors grindset and nothing else.

Ah well, like it or not, this is the final installment of at the very least arc two of Bravelands, possibly the entire series. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Good Dog by Avi

 

I've read this book once before and didn't like it back then, however I'm totally open to re-visiting older books and re-reading them, maybe even gaining a new appreciation for or perspective on them in the process. I was a very snarky reader and reviewer back in 2016, after all. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay

 

I don't read a lot of historical fiction. I don't have anything against the genre, it's just not something I'm usually into. However, Mom has been telling me for years how good Sarah's Key supposedly is, which prompted me to finally check it out. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Elders by Inbali Iserles (Foxcraft #2)

 

Book two of the Foxcraft trilogy! I don't quite know when I'll get book three yet, it might take a while since I don't own it yet. But let's have a look at this one for now. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Taken by Inbali Iserles (Foxcraft #1)

 

I have had this book on my to-read shelf of Goodreads for literal years, yet never actually bought the book for whatever reason. I knew that this trilogy was one I definitely wanted in paperback and not as an ebook, however with many Dutch webstores and real-life bookstores for whatever reason being unable to order the book I kept having to wait. 

Until now, since I now finally own books one and two and hopefully get to order book three soon. Let's have a look at Isla's adventure. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Way of Kings by Louise Searl

I've previously reviewed Kona's Song, a book about wolves by the same author. It was a fine book that had quite a bit of unrealized potential, so I did want to read more by Searl. Turns out, the author did write another book, this time about lions, so let's have a look. Spoilers ahead.
