This is a blog reviewing the latest book I have read along with the books I have self-published. Please feel free to follow along with my reading / writing journey.

The third and concluding book in the Beyonders series. This series was good and the concluding book tied things together nicely. However it does not have me running out to get the next Brandon Mull book. Might I read other series by him in the future, possibly. But for now I will be moving on…

Book 7 of The Unwanteds. This was a great conclusion to the series. Albeit I thought it would go another way. That said if you can put up a dome to protect from the elements and you can create a hurricane, this plot hole was glaring and made the whole end 1/2 of the book…

Book 6 of Unwanteds. This is the second to last book in the series. Problems that have plagued the other novels in this series have been much better resolved in this book. The story felt more homogeneous and gave more insight to the world they live in. Albeit, we will have to see in the…

This was Unwanteds Book 5. The pacing was good through most of it. This book really felt like it was trying to figure out what to be. And in the end takes a good story and throws a confusing “time-bomb” element that really felt nearly pointless. I feel like there is a full plot line…

Animorphs book 15. Another sea adventure. Lots of moral dilemmas in this one. But it leaves us with a question if the Zerks now know they are human. The pacing is good. Yet another battle in a war that seems to have not really changed the over arching plot line. I am curious as we…

This is book 2 in Beyonders. There is a lot I like about this series. It is the genera of Epic Fantasy I struggle with. I always have to keep in mind that book 2 is the builder and you just have to push through it. The story isn’t bad but the middle drags just…

This is book 3 in the series The Way of the Shaman. I love these books. This is the third LitRPG that I have read. This one has great pacing and keeps you involved throughout. The plot is well thought out with plenty of twists and turns along the way. Basically if you’ve done any…

Book 14 of the Animorphs. This was entertaining and action packed. But still no real movement to the overarching plot line. One more of the hundreds of battles in a war. I did enjoy it and it was fun to see a nice head nod to Area 51. That said it will be interesting to…

Sometimes the books that become movies surprise me and this is one of those times. It was a fun read but I don’t see why it became such a hit. I am sure I am in the minority, but this is not a top ten book for me. Nor is it a strong recommend. There…

This was book 4 of the Unwanteds series. I did enjoy this novel and felt it brought the whole world into better focus. Less silly coincidental things happening. Lots of action. This was well done and I think YA would love the read. The only complaint I could have would be that it wants to…
