Book Review: Truth and Phantasm by Teelia Pelletier (Strong Hearts are Mandatory #4)

 

I did promise to review this once upon a couple of years ago, didn't I? Funnily enough I've owned the ebook for like well over a year already, I just never got to reading and reviewing it before. Let's dive in now, though, spoilers ahead.

Book Review: People of the Fire by W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear (North America's Forgotten Past #2)

 

I've looked at book one before, so let's have a look at book two. Spoilers ahead.

Note: I read the Dutch edition of this book and thus only read the Dutch translated names of these characters. I cannot confirm the official English names of all of them, so some of the names in this review might be off from the official English version. I've tried my best to translate the Dutch names back into English and looked at some reviews to hopefully confirm them, but it might not be 100% accurate.

Book Review: The Dark Wild by Piers Torsday (The Last Wild #2)

 

Been a while since I read book one. Let's continue with this series. Spoilers ahead.

Note: I was unable to write a proper review for book one as I was sick when I read it. But I did like it, just not a whole lot. Just as some context going in. I may re-read book one for a review at some point, I may not.

Saw this one randomly at the library and the cover looked interesting to me. Let's check it out. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Coorinna by Erle Wilson

 

Well, you know me. I love reading xenofiction and thylacines are my favorite animals (yes, even surpassing wolves). Sadly there is barely any thylacine xenofiction out there. I wanted to read Coorinna before, but legal ebooks and English physical copies are very, very hard to come by without having to pay a whole lot. So I settled for getting a German copy instead. 

Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Magic Hour by Kirstin Hannah

Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski (The Witcher #1)

 

Apparently this series has a funny publishing order, but I'm going to label the books (if I do review more of this series) by how they're numbered on the Dutch copies I read. They number this installment as the first, so that's what I'm going with.
