The Way of Kings is an expansive fantasy tale written by Brandon Sanderson. It centers around a small of characters whose lives are inexorably connected by a fate unknown. Each character holds a key to unlocking the mysteries of the past and ushering in a new era for the world. A world that has been besot by war and unrest. A world that may not last much longer if the forces that led to its upheaval in the past are not discovered and resisted.

Book Review: Zoo by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge

in , , ,

If I were to sum up Zoo with one word it would be embroiled. From the beginning to the end, the tone of this book is one of singular focus. The main character, Jackson Oz, is obsessed with confirming and solving the problem of animals increasingly attacking humans in an unprecedented and unmitigated way. James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge paint with one unceasing brush and that brush is one of embroiled forward momentum.

His ability to create a world full of unique characters, political manipulation, and intense combat is legendary.

This is the case in the Game of Thrones books and I recommend people go out and read them. I also recommend people read two other books that I had never heard of until I found them in a local bookstore.
