Creepy in the good way

3 stars

My first read by Fehervari and I'm pleasantly surprised. This book was well written and filled with creepy and very grim dark stuff. It's definitely a universe that no one would want to live in.

Strong memorable characters. I love the title of the book.

Un livre de garçon

Alors, ce un livre sur Andrew Wiggins, aka Ender Wiggins, et c'est bon. Je pense premier, non, c'est un livre mal, mais c'est bon.

My French fucking sucks. It's a great book and it surprised me. Well worth reading.

This book was so good I read it EXTRA slowly just because I didn't want it to end.

There were some things that annoyed me, but ultimately, I'm so happy that Dan Abnett is the one writing the finale.

There's just so much shit to like about it and I'm so excited for the second volume.

Damn it all.

The walls have fallen. The defenders’ unity is broken. The Inner Palace lies in ruins. …

There is something lacking in this book, which I'm quite sad to say since it's just absolutely thrilling.

I loved the way it covered SO much and in such depth without necessarily being tedious.

I'm looking forward to the ending. To be honest, I can't believe we're finally getting there.

reviewed Warhawk by Chris Wraight (The Siege of Terra, #6)

Another fantastic banger from Chris Wraight about the White Scars. I'm glad he got a chance to write a book in the SoT series and he did it wonderfully.

There's a lot of juicy shit in this one. I'm also quite impressed with how well he writes the Death Guard post-transformation.

Nothing to haggle about, just go read it.

It's nice to read about Abbadon, Dorn, Sigismund, Amon and all these guys, only part that really sucks is the guard story about Zenobi. What a total drag, so much that I decided to skip it.

Thorpe is an okay writer, I guess. It's decent.

It's a decent book with a lot of exciting parts, and well written for that matter, and it was quite a nice read even though it took me ages.

The siege is on!
