Fantasy The Wilderwomen by Ruth Emmie Lang Technically this is the subgenre of urban fantasy or supernatural fantasy but to be honest it felt more like a family story to me because it’s all about two sisters’ efforts to find their missing Mom. It’s okay, the pacing is a little slow at bits but IContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- September 2025”

Fantasy The Sisters Mederos by Practice Sarath I do like this book in that the two Mederos sisters are well developed and you can easily throw in with the two of them in their quest to restore their family. An okay reading experience, not sure if I will come back for more. Mystery 13 byContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries : December 2024”

Fantasy Northern Lights by Phillip Pullman I got curious because His Darkest Materials was the title for the lesson on research for the novel writing course that I did with the University of British Columbia up on the edX platform. As I was reading it, it reminds me a little of one movie that IContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries: September 2024”

Mystery The Mercenaries: Blood Diamonds by P. W. Storm It’s a complete mystery to me why this is filed under fantasy on my local library catalogue and this is the ebook catalogue nonetheless. The book cover also doesn’t speak fantasy either. Technically this is not a mystery like I usually read but a thriller aboutContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries: March 2024”

Fantasy A girl called Corpse by Reece Carter This is actually a juvenile fantasy but I’m drawn by the blurb. And I quite enjoyed the story. If you like heartwarming stories I think this will be exactly your cup of tea. The Last Mapmaker by Christina Soontornvat This Thai fantasy is quite interesting. I didn’tContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- December 2023”

Fantasy Venom’s Taste by Lisa Smedman I haven’t read a Forgotten Realms novel for quite some while ever since they turned the whole from high magic to low. And I picked this up purely because I know the author from the Shadowrun setting and the blurb reads all right. And I’m not disappointed. This isContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- September 2023”

Fantasy The Lyonesse trilogy by Jack Vance My final verdict upon my second reading is that I like the trilogy enough but I don’t really love it, hence why I couldn’t remember much about it. But I think a younger me probably did enjoy how whimsical the whole trilogy is (it does contain dark themesContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries: June 2023”

Fantasy Storm Front by Jim Butcher A lot of the people I know really liked this series so I picked it up. For me, it was okay but I didn’t love it. Not sure whether that was my issue with audiobooks again after a lapse but it’s not really holding my attention despite me usingContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries: March 2023”

Fantasy: The Liveship Traders Trilogy by Robin Hobb In terms of characters, I think I can easily feel for Wintrow. Althea at the start was a bit too headstrong for me except when she faced off with Kyle in book 1 and when she showed her determination for her cause. Same with Malta who startedContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- March 2022”
