Illuminae – READ THIS BO..

Posted April 18, 2018 by ReadandWander in Reviews / 4 Comments

My Thoughts This might be my shortest review ever. READ.THIS.BOOK. <error> LISTEN.TO <error> <error> THIS.BOOK. <error> A Blockbuster Film in Book Form Seriously. Illuminae is in a league of its own. Visually, the book is stunning and completely unique. The narrative is presented as a series of documents that create an engaging and fast paced […]

Sky in the Deep – A Brut..

Posted April 15, 2018 by ReadandWander in Reviews / 2 Comments

My Thoughts Sky in the Deep was stunning. My useless music knowledge is vast but my Viking knowledge is zilch. So it took a few chapters to get into Sky in the Deep since it made zero sense that people would hate each other just because the Gods said. But then something reached out of […]

My Thoughts Yokits, I can’t believe this is the end. The Themis Files is an epic, creative and brilliantly written trilogy. It is one of those stories that stirs something up inside, makes you question the world around you, and lingers long after it is over. I read Sleeping Giants almost two years before I […]

Posted March 29, 2018 by ReadandWander in Reviews / 2 Comments

My Thoughts Children of Blood and Bone is my favorite book of the year, hands down. It is as epic as it is powerful. On The Surface Tomi Adeyemi creates a beautiful, brutal and immersive world of magic, prejudice and fighting back. The cultures of Children of Blood and Bone are so vivid they draw you […]

My Thoughts This review is going to be interesting to write. I am a huge fan of Karen Marie Moning and the Fever Series. There are very few series I will reread and even fewer authors on my autobuy list – KMM and the Fever World fall into these categories. I am also well aware […]

Posted March 5, 2018 by ReadandWander in Reviews / 2 Comments

My Thoughts Typically, I do not read many books that are retelling fairy tales so I am unsure if I would have picked up The Hazel Wood on my own. When I do come across a new book, I generally check out a few reviews just to get a feel of how its been received. […]

Posted February 24, 2018 by ReadandWander in Reviews / 4 Comments

My Thoughts I really wanted to love this book. Truly. There was so much hype surrounding it and so many positive reviews that I had relatively high hopes, albeit with a touch of skepticism. However, after finishing it I feel as conflicted and contradictory as the characters. I can’t say that I didn’t enjoy The […]

My Thoughts Wow. My mind is blown. Have you ever read or experienced anything that made you feel so incredibly small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things? That is Waking Gods and really the Themis Files in general. It has been over a year since I read Sleeping Giants so I had forgotten […]

Little Bit of Background Since this is the third book in the series and the first time I am posting about this author, I thought it might be helpful to give a little background. I have found Bella’s books to be unique in that they remind me of watching a TV show (and she publishes […]
