Crown of Midnight is the second book in the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas. It continues the story of Celaena Sardothien aka Elantiya, who won a contract to be the King of Adarlan’s champion, aka assassin, in the first book, Throne of Glass. Now, Celaena spends her days stalking and killing the King's enemies but what we soon discover is that she has been secretly faking their deaths and sending them away.

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.

in , , , , ,

Everyone knows about the Game of Thrones series. Whether you like the shows or read the books or both you know that George R.R. Martin can spin an epic yarn. His ability to create a world full of unique characters, political manipulation, and intense combat is legendary. He is able to engage an audience through intertwining stories that involve multiple plots and subplots that all relate to each other and end up coming together in a way that is both exciting and cohesive. 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.
