Book Review: The Burning Bridge (Ranger's Apprentice, Book 2), By John Flanagan

Posted on 00:56 by Unknown
The Burning Bridge (Ranger's Apprentice, #2)
By: John Flanagan
http://rangersapprentice.com/
ISBN-10: 0142408425 (Paperback)

Gilan, Will, and Horace travel to secure aid from Araluan's allies and uncover a plot that could spell disaster in the impending war.

The Burning Bridge lives up to expectations with a well developed plot that unfolds from beginning to end. The story includes awareness of gruesome death and mild visuals of war related fighting, killing, and injuries. This book ends in a to-be-continued fashion, so have the 3rd book on hand.

Book Review: Farlander (The Heart of the World, Book 1), By Col Buchanan

Book Review: Farlander (The Heart of the World, Book 1), By Col Buchanan Cover Artwork

ISBN-10: 0765331055
Add to your Goodreads Shelf
A Review of the first 35 pages

An assassin, his apprentice, a siege, and a war about to be lost.

Farlander is told from multiple points of view and contains full nudity, extensive killing, references to loss of bladder/bowel control due to fear or death, and vivid descriptions of injuries/death that pay specific attention to the organs/body parts that are being destroyed. 

I did not finish this book and can not speak to the story's quality on the whole.

Series Review: The Twilight Saga, By Stephanie Meyer

Posted on 21:15 by Unknown


By: Stephanie Meyer

This review encompasses all four books in The Twilight Saga (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn) as well as the Eclipse novella (The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner).


The most dangerous things Bella expected to encounter upon moving to Forks, Washington were freezing, sunless conditions and boredom.

Who knew that vampires were real and that falling in love with one could be so easy?

Caught up in a dangerous world she never knew existed, Bella finds herself fighting for a life she never dreamed she would want.

The Twilight Saga is a moderately paced young adult series focused around Bella, her romance, and how her life intermingles with vampires and other creatures. The characters are enjoyable, though at times shallow, and the plots get progressively more interesting.

Readers who hate love triangles may find this series frustrating after book one (Twilight).
