My Book reviews
Babel by Rebecca F. Kuang
Language is power and if you didn’t know, Babel will help you grasp really important concepts about it. The novel follows Robin Swift, a Chinese boy raised at Oxford’s Royal Institute of Translation, where silver-working magic transforms language into a tool of empire. This furious, intellectually audacious story will bring you heartbreak, moral dilemmas and a rich magic system that was brilliantly imagined.
Thirst for Salt
Thirst for Salt is a aching novel about the kind of love that doesn’t end so much as it imprints itself on you. It follows a woman looking back on an intense relationship from her twenties, one shaped by desire, silence, imbalance, and the traces it left behind. More than a love story, it’s about memory and the way the past keeps touching the present.
Never Lie - Freida McFadden
Everyone talks about her and the best-sellers she writes. I enjoyed the Housemaid but what about the other ones? Click here if you want to know more about Never Lie by Freida McFadden
The Familiar - Leigh Bardugo
Want to know more about this historical fiction based in Spain during the Inquisition and a few magic tricks propelling Luzia Cotado into a royal arena with other magic spelling tributes?
Sunrise on the Reaping - Suzanne Collins
The long awaited Hunger Games prequel about Haymitch and his participation in the Quarter Quell: I literaly showed up too early to buy my copy at the very second it was out there (sorry Smith and Sons…)
Beartown by Fredrik Backman
Did that book shatter you too? Well here is how it made me cry
