Book Review: Lady's Mantle by Frans Hoppenbrouwers

 

 

 

 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 Vrouwenmantel.

I do love fiction set in ice age periods surrounding prehistoric animals and of course the hunter-gatherers of back then, so I borrowed a books of this type from my library. Unfortunately, none of the three I borrowed turned out to be particularly good. Ah well, I'm reviewing some of them anyways. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Wolves of Yellowstone by Catherine Barr

 

More wolf non-fiction for younger readers!

Book Review: Herta by Aarie Aalders

 

 Note: This book isn't available in English (yet).

A xenofiction about a German shepherd raised by wolves, what could possibly go wrong? Spoilers ahead?

Book Review: Monster of God by David Quammen

 

Unlike what the title may imply this isn't a religious text at all, but instead a non-fiction on various man eating species.

Book Review: Time of Wolves by Lysander Mazee

 

 

 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 Wolventijd.

I saw this one at the bookstore one day and I knew I just had to read it eventually. So I did. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs by Steve Brusatte

 

I used to be obsessed with dinosaurs as a very young kid. In recent years, not so much. At all, really. I still think they're cool but whenever I try to engage with dinosaur content these days I tend to get bored earlier or later. I don't know why, I wish I still had my childlike wonder for these creatures. Ah well, case in point: this book.

Book Review: Spirits in the Stars by Erin Hunter (Seekers #6)

 

The final book in the first arc. I don't know when I'll get to the second, as that's a slight issue. See, I've been reading arc one by borrowing them all from the library in Dutch, however the second arc of Seekers has never been translated into this language, and it probably will not be in the future. So this mean that I'll have to go about buying them all which I'm totally fine with, but generally does take me longer to review the books like this. 

Anyways, let's dive in. Spoilers ahead.
