Wow

Review from The Sword of Kaigen: A Theonite War Story →

What a fantastic human story. Seems like it’s a coming of age story of every character, no matter their age. There is magic or power in the story, but it’s just a characteristic, not main focus of the story. I like how the book is self contained, finished. No cliff hangers or sequels implied. Wrapped..

Too Much Filler

Review from Forsaken →

Wang has crafted something extraordinary here: a story that is as emotionally devastating as it is beautifully written, blending the intricate world-building of giants like Brandon Sanderson and Mark Lawrence with a..

Ruined by political views

Review from The Dark Road Series Collection →

I was into the story. The characters are a bit simple, but I liked the premise. Unfortunately, a few hours in, the protagonist seems to blame the apocalypse and aftermath on American liberal democracy and the “mainstream media”. Which makes it a bit silly and demonstrates a lack of understanding of complex domestic and international..

Review from The Sword of Kaigen: A Theonite War Story →

I’m excited to read more from this author. For a first book, this is amazing. The vibes and world building feel like a more adult version of avatar the last airbender. For context, I love and have watched a.t.l.a as well as the legend of kora more than I’d be comfortable to admit in person…
