A twelve book series, a binge all at once, mix and match of the east and west, integration into a larger world, an active social media community, meta, this series has it all. It’s a lotta books, but the only way to begin is by beginning. To begin, lets just talk, broad concept. And the first book, Unsouled, takes  awhile to get you behind the true goal of the story. The world is your classic, chinese cultivation story world. All the best and most classic […]

Abundance

Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson

by Leave a Comment

Perhaps as a way to make myself feel some modicum of a real plan for the future, I read Abundance, which is a look at how best to achieve progressive goals. And to preface, I cannot recommend this book as a conversation starter more. It does a good job of pointing out the pitfalls of the current democratic party, in the landscape of the world. Whether it’s NIMBYs and blocking housing, to the legal system that seeks to stymie anything and everything, to the best […]

Undone

Undone by Karen Slaughter

by 1 Comment

The third will trent book. I had started reading mysteries because I love the way a good whodunnit comes together and I like a detective who has a bit of je ne se qua. The Will trent series of books does this with a solid character, trauma for backstory but not such that it’s his only characteristic, and a supporting cast of characters. This book in particular, introduces the transplant doctor slash M.E. who lost her husband in a previous series (side note: still my […]

Triptych by Slaughter? I hardly know her

Triptych by Karin Slaughter

by 1 Comment

On a Mystery novel kick. This book was recommended by a coworker, and they did not disappoint. Triptych by Karin Slaughter is a solid, well written, book. That’s the headline.Spoilers ahead. This book actually took me for a ride, as it utilizes something I don’t really see in mystery novels very often, which is telling the story from multiple view points. But then it does a second unique thing, which is, not let you in on the full thoughts of the first person view. This […]

Rashoman Mystery but better

The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

by 1 Comment

After my last few books, I wanted to read a mystery. A nice amouse bouche, a pallete cleanser for my literary pallete. And boy this did not disappoint. The basic premise of this book is, we are following the MC, as they experience the day through the lens of 7 (+0.5) different people. There is no trick to it. It is, for a lack of a better word, magic. He lives the other people’s life via magic. The two twists are as follows. 1, the […]

If I wanted to read Shogun, I would’ve read Shogun

The Sword of Kaigen by M. L. Wang

by 3 Comments

After reading Blood over Bright Haven (and honestly, being very impressed by the writing and plot) I figured, why not, let me read another of M.L. Wang’s stand alone novels. So here is Sword of Kaigen. I went into this book blind. Like, completely blind. And honestly, that was a mistake. To start with, calling this a standalone novel isn’t true. This is a spinoff novel. Apparently. this is a prequel to her first series, the Theonite series. And let me just say, this book […]
