Another enjoyable read in the Highler Series.

Great book! Was recommended to me by a friend!

I wanted to like this book but the multiple POVs made the timeline very messy. Also all the twists I guessed so I was left very underwhelmed

FIVE by Ilona Bannister is a fascinating idea for a novel. Not what I expected. It started slowly and then I was able to follow the premise. It was mundane. It should have been better, which is why I gave it only 3 stars.

Not the kind of book I would normally read but an interesting premise and unanimous praise made me want to check it out. An incredibly unique take on a romance, where our two time travelling protagonists never actually meet. Rather, they leave hidden letters for each other, corresponding as much as they can while their respective factions wage a war across time against each other. The book is fairly dense for its length, and the authors really throw you in the deep end and expect you to catch up with the worldbuilding without providing any real exposition. This might not work for everyone, but I was consistently engaged. Highly recommended for any Sci-Fi/Fantasy fans looking for a quick read.

I actually liked this book. Although a few of the reveals made the book more formulaic and the twists could have been said at the beginning and it would not have detracted from the story in any way. The characters were all deeply flawed, and not likeable. I understand the appeal but it can make it hard to read from their perspective. This is a good book if you are someone who is okay with, or preferably likes, endings that are not cut and dry.

An incredibly bleak deconstruction of the superhero genre that doubles as a scathing critique on American politics. I was consistently blown away (and also at least a little depressed) by how timely this felt despite coming out in 1986. I don't think you have to be a comic book or superhero fan to "get it" with Watchmen. It's a fantastic graphic novel from top to bottom and, so long as you can stomach the protagonists largely being unlikable, I can't recommend it enough.

Unfortunately, I would not recommend this psychological thriller. It was slow and dull. I almost did not finish.

A great book for succession fans , this story is about a group of siblings who have to play a high stakes game to win the family fortune.

The book was very disappointing. The main character was severely unlikeable. I understand that her personality was shaped by her trauma, but her favoritism towards one child, and how she approaches her actions clearly shows how she ended up with the life and relationships she has. She is unbelievably selfish and annoying. Multiple characters in this story were unstable and made dumb odd choices.
