Anna Steele (111 KP) rated History Is All You Left Me in Books

History isn’t everything
Adam Silvera is a really good author if you want a YA gay realistic fiction with a twist.
In this heartbreaking endeavor, the twist is that our main character is addressing the entire novel to his dead first love, using “you” throughout the “Today” sections to speak directly to him. Silvera plays with time and pieces together the mystery of Theo and Griff’s past beautifully.

This isn't a full-length novel...it's a novella...that said:
It felt a bit rushed! I wish there was more back-story! I am thinking that there will be a lot more in the first, full-length book (Witchling) which I will be starting soon :c)
A good introduction & hiya to the character though...I just really want to read their full stories :c)
3/5 stars :c)

One of the best books I have read this year! I read this in less than 24 hours and I haven't done that in a while. This is my first Raibow Rowell novel and definitely will not be the last.
I loved Park so much he was so sweet and melted my heart when he said "I missed you!".
This book just left me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Concept
Savage
This is such an original idea. The novel is set in a post apocalypse of sorts, where violent acts create physical monsters that terrorise a divided city. I've never read anything like it before; it was brilliantly written, and left me wanting more from the characters (I'm just starting on the sequel, and can't wait to see what August and Kate are up to now!).

Katey Bassett (610 KP) rated Everything I Never Told You in Books
Dec 10, 2018
Loved this debut novel, not only did I feel as though the story was one never quite told like this I really loved the way it captured real grief and how it can tear a family apart or bring them together and now race/gender is something that almost always impacts a persons life and outlook on things, especially in a mixed race family in the early 60s.
David McK (3562 KP) rated Storm Front (The Dresden Files, #1) in Books
Jan 28, 2019
Edited on 07/01/19: The graphic novel sticks pretty close to the source material, too!!
<original review>
One of the best books I've (re)read in a long time, "Storm Front" introduces us to the world of Harry Dresden, paranormal investigator for hire.
Superb entry in a new series by (to me) a new author: I think I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for future entries!

One of those (e)-books I read, simply so I can say I've read it! To be fair, don't really know how to rate it: it's (obviously) not a novel, so can't be rated as such, but nor is it a technical manual.
More than anything, I think, it's a series of notes that are meant to be read alone, and in the contexty of the given situation.

David McK (3562 KP) rated Assassin's Reign (Civil War Chronicles #4) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
The fourth of Michael Arnold's Civil War Chronicles, this (I have to say) I actually found to be heavier going than any of the previous. The bulk of this novel concerns the Royalist siege of Gloucester - which, in hindsight, would prove to be the turning point of the war - during which (as any fictional hero would) Captain Stryker finds himself on both sides of the line - echoes, here, of Sharpe's Tiger!
David McK (3562 KP) rated Down Among the Dead Men (Forest Kingdom, #3) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
Essentially a horror novel within a fantasy setting, this is set in the same world as Simon Green's earlier novels "Blue Moon Rising" and "Blood and Honour"; albeit about 10 years on from "Blue Moon Rising", with the odd reference to the events of that (better) book.
It's also pretty much rote stuff: there's nothing really outstanding about this book that would make it stand out from the crowd.
