Book Review: Raveleijn by Paul van Loon (Raveleijn #1)

 

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).

So I'm a huge fan of the Efteling, a fantasy-themed Dutch amusement park. I've been there tons of times and can never get enough of it. Most of their rides are based on either a pre-existing or a made-up fantasy/fairy tale/folklore story. I've taken a look at Baron 1898 before, a book based on the eponymous roller coaster. Raveleijn here is based on a park show rather than a ride, but I still enjoyed the story a lot when I saw the TV series and of course the show itself, though the show in the park itself has been altered quite a few times. 

So let's dive into the book version of the original story! Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Kävik the Wolf Dog by Walt Morey

This book has been on my to-read for way too long now, so let's finally get to it! It's yet another wolfdog xenofiction where the animal doesn't talk. Spoilers ahead!

Book Review: White Fang by Jack London

I could've sworn I'd read and reviewed this book on this blog already. Apparently not. So let's do it right here, right now! This is the Jack London classic: White Fang. Spoilers ahead, but the book is over 100 years old so chances are that you already know what happens.

Book Review: La Belle Sauvage by Philip Pullman (The Book of Dust #1)

Not too long ago I at last finished reading (and reviewing) His Dark Materials, after 10+ years of putting off completing the trilogy. For the most part, I absolutely loved it! So after doubting on whether or not I wanted to read the second trilogy, The Book of Dust, I finally just decided to go for it when the opportunity presented itself for me to get the first two books for rather cheap. So let's take a look!

Book Review: The Wolfskin and Other Stories by Ton van Reen

 

Note: The title of this book has been translated into English by me for the reading comprehension of this blog's viewers. The original title reads Het wolfsvel en andere verhalen.

This is a book I got to pick up for free years ago and up until now just...never ended up reading. Reason I picked it up: it's about wolves, duh. So let's see if it's actually any good. 

Book Review: Veil of Shadows by Erin Hunter (Warriors: The Broken Code #3)

 

Wooooo, we're halfway there. I honestly can't believe how great this arc has been so far. That said, things can still change. I really liked the first part of A Vision of Shadows, but the last books kind of lost me. I sincerely hope that doesn't occur with The Broken Code, since so far this is shaping up to be my second favorite or even favorite arc.

Since I don't have the rest of this arc yet and am still waiting for Graystripe's Vow to be published in paperback before continuing getting the other books, it may be a while until my next review of The Broken Code. Please keep that in mind.

So let's take a look at the midway point of this arc. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Children of the Widow by Henri Loevenbruck (Gallica #3)

Note: The title of this book and has been translated into English by me for the reading comprehension of this blog's viewers. The original title reads Les Enfants de la Veuve from the Gallica trilogy.

Our last trip into the world of Gallica. Will it be good? Let's see. Spoilers ahead.
