Dragon and Thief by Timothy Zahn

Dragon and Thief by Timothy Zahn

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I loved this book! I saw it on the library sale shelf and after reading the back, snatched it right up and I was not disappointed! It grabbed me right from the start and I sat here and stayed up all night to finish it. Tempted to skip sleep entirely so I can start on volume two lol



Draycos' character and how he needs Jack to survive and the way the symbiosis works between the two, was fascinating. I loved the plot, barely left me a minute to catch my breath, but the intrigue didn't go overboard, it was just enough to keep me needing to know what happens next, without being overwhelming.



Looking forward to book 2! (and 3, 4, 5, and 6 LOL)

Not Simple by Natsume Ono

I was actually kind of surprised how well I liked it. I hadn't picked it up to read (despite hearing many good things about it) because of the art style. For me with manga, I have to like the art just as much, if not more, than the story. This grew on me and by the time I got to the last page, I didn't want it to be over. Hopefully I'll be able to acquire my own copy eventually, definitely one I'll want for my collection!

Hurry along now, Spacemonauts! The rocket awaits!

Gunnerkrigg Court, Volume 1: Orientation by Tom Siddell

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I was happily surprised by this book. It was off-beat and quite humorous. I really enjoyed the mix of technology and mythology. I think a couple of the mythological characters needed more explanation, maybe needs a small glossary of some sort for those of us too lazy to google things really quickly whilst we're reading. (<-- like me.) I loved the chapter "Mainly Involves Robots" XD I really liked both Reynardine's character and Coyote's. How they were drawn, especially Coyote. I've always been fond of the Trickster's in mythological tales. The characters overall in this book are great, so interesting each in their own way. The plot is catchy. Definitely a must-read in my opinion! :D
