Review: The Tomb

The Tomb by F. Paul Wilson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Very much reminded me of Relic by Preston/Child. Strange creatures in the night.
Repairman Jack, who doesn't fix appliances, takes them on to protect those he cares about.

Major thriller vibes.

Review: The Warded Man

The Warded Man by Peter V. Brett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Interesting take on a backward planet faced with demons rising from the core every night.

-Second read through: One of the focus series I'm attempting to make a serious dent in. This is a re-read of the first book, since I read it quite a few years ago. Now I'm set to go further into the series. I enjoyed it every bit as much as I did the first time round. Imaginative and exciting, with characters who change and grow.

The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty

Interesting and complex tale of djinn and afreet. World building is well done, characters are complex and intriguing, plot twists happen often enough to keep you wondering.

Very well read by Ms Nankani.
