Leigh Bardugo: Rule of Wolves (Paperback) 4 stars

Great ending for this duology

4 stars

What a lovely book and brilliant end to the duology. Obviously would like to read more stories set in this universe, but I think it was a very fair ending. Some parts of the book felt rushed—whereas parts of the first one felt very slow—but overall I very much enjoyed it. Some nice twists which could have easily been predicted but all in all very entertaining.

Brilliantly borrowed stories

4 stars

Another very funny books in the witches series. So many brilliantly interwoven stories and borrowed ideas and themes. I had to laugh out loud a few times and will definitely continue my journey into the Discworld universe!

I really enjoyed this book series

4 stars

What a great book. I was a bit reserved after having watched the tv show and wasn’t sure if I should try the book series. I am glad that I did. Much better than the show—somehow I am more drawn into the world than I was when just watching the screen. I will definitely continue with this series. The mixture of magic, fantasy and medieval-like lands is exactly what I like. Really excited to see what the next book is about!

Hercule has done it again

4 stars

I must have read this one ages ago, because I had my own theories and actually found out who the real murderer was as well. As always, an enjoyable Poirot novel. It felt somehow shorter than expected.

Quite a nice story about time loops

4 stars

I quite enjoyed this book. It was a different approach to time loops—at least in my limited experience of reading about them in fiction. Rather a cute story, even though it is quite unbelievable that someone would be stuck in a loop for this long and not figure out how to escape. I was slightly disappointed that there was no extra chapter with a sneak peek of the future but I guess I might have complained if that was not to my liking, so this is probably a good ending.
