The Black Company by Glen Cook – It took me about half of the book to
really get into it, and it still wasn’t my cup of tea. It read too much like a
bad video game from the 90s. 3/5 stars
The Wheel of Time 1: The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan – To
summarize it all: run, hide, camp, run, sing, juggle, spend the night in an inn,
fight, run… repeat again and again for all 700+ pages. Meh. 4/5 stars
Efectul de nautil (The Nautilus Effect) by Ioana Visan – Yes, I had to
read my own book over the weekend to make sure everything was in order before
sending it to be printed. I was quite happy with the result if you ask me! :D
The United States of McSweeney's (the version published by Nemira so not sure exactly what’s the
English edition) – Strange. I don’t know what I was expecting but, while most
of the stories are well-written, I didn’t quite care for any of them. 3/5
stars
The Prefect by Alastair Reynolds – A bit cold and distant, but the plot
was quite well done. 4/5 stars
Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare – The constant change of POV was
nauseating, the avalanche of letters, quotes, and songs was annoying, and I
hated the ending. Quite a frustrating book, but at least the series has ended,
thank God for that! 3/5 stars
I think I'm done with fantasy series for a while. I've started (as in read the first book or at least tried to) like six series since last fall, and the only one I fully enjoyed was the Mistborn. I'm ready for some sci fi now!
