Book three time! 

Before we dive in, I do have some sad news regarding my reviews of this series: I recently discovered that, despite this series being quite expansive in its number of books (fifteen total), my review of the next book will unfortunately have to be the last one. Not because I want to quit reading them, but simply because they have not been translated into Dutch past book four.

Normally my solution would be to read the English editions, but these books actually haven't been translated into English at all. And since I do not speak Italian or any of the other translated languages of the future books, I have no choice but to stop reviewing the series. I don't think that they'll be translating them into Dutch in the future, either, so it looks like my Incanto journey will have to end with book four. Unfortunate, but true.

Anyways, let's still have a look at book three, first! Spoilers ahead.

I've seen this one at both the library and bookstores (in the animal non-fiction sections) for a while now, so I finally picked it up.

Book Review: Lonesome Howl by Steven Herrick

 

Sometimes I really think I should may be just stop buying books that even vaguely relate to wolves. It often leads to disappointment. Spoilers ahead.

I don't read too much bird non-fiction, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't interest me. So this book combining both birds and Dutch history spoke to me. Let's have a look.

Book Review: First Hero by Adam Blade (The Chronicles of Avantia #1)

 

Once upon a time around 2014 I was a snarky internet reviewer and tore this book apart in one of my reviews, absolutely hating every aspect of it. Now, almost a decade later, I consider myself to be much fairer critic, so I decided to give this book another read. Will it still be bad, or does it hold up and was I too hash on it? Let's find out. Spoilers ahead.
