The Watchers - review

  Synopsis: You can't see them. But they can see you.  This forest isn't charted on any map. Every car breaks down at its treeline. Mina's is no different. Left stranded, she is forced into the dark woodland only to find a woman shouting, urging Mina to run to a concrete bunker. As the door slams behind her, the building is besieged by screams. Mina finds herself in a room with a wall of glass, and an electric light that activates at nightfall, when the Watchers come above ground. These creatures emerge to observe their captive humans and terrible things happen to anyone who doesn't reach the bunker in time. Afraid and trapped among strangers, Mina is desperate for answers. Who are the Watchers and why are these creatures keeping them imprisoned, keen to watch their every move? My Review: A brilliant debut novel with an eerie, dark atmosphere, filled with tension and a twisty story.  I loved how the story focused on only a handful of characters which meant that each one...

Lore review

  Synopsis: Every seven years, the Agon begins. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals.

Long ago, Lore Perseous fled that brutal world, turning her back on the hunt’s promises of eternal glory after her family was murdered by a rival line. For years she's pushed away any thought of revenge against the man—now a god—responsible for their deaths. Yet as the next hunt dawns over New York City, two participants seek her out: Castor, a childhood friend Lore believed to be dead, and Athena, one of the last of the original gods, now gravely wounded. The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and a way to leave the Agon behind forever. But Lore's decision to rejoin the hunt, binding her fate to Athena's, will come at a deadly cost—and it may not be enough to stop the rise of a new god with...

Farseer Trilogy - Review

 I finished this trilogy a few days ago and it’s safe to say that this is probably a new favourite series of mine, and Robin Hobb has definitely shot to the top of the list of my favourite authors. Rather than review each book separately, which I did on my Goodreads, instead I’m going to give a brief review of the entire trilogy. I would recommend you stop reading now if you wish to avoid spoilers Firstly, the story. The trilogy is based in the fiction land of the Six Duchies, a medieval like collect of counties, almost, that are united rather reluctantly under one King. The story is centred around Fitz, the bastard son of the King In Waiting, who is brought to Buckkeep (essentially the capital of the fictional land) and given over to the royal family. Fitz’s childhood and upbringing is chronicled in the first book, Assassin’s Apprentice, and the rest of the trilogy tells of the adventures he undertakes in his King’s name, trained as an royal assassin. Though the books are long and...
