Katey Bassett (610 KP) rated The Balcony in Books
Dec 10, 2018
I won this book on a Goodreads Giveaway and I didn’t realize it was a collection of short stories all connected by one place. There were some quotes that really struck a chord with me, however, overall I really felt it was hard to get into some of the stories and connect with some of the characters.

Man, this was REALLY intense and scary for me.
I wish it was a little shorter and that the book moved along at a quicker pace (story-wise) but it was a suspenseful and intriguing read. Add that together + a lackluster ending and you get an exciting book that falls short of something a little more thought out.

**This book is NOT for kids!** Likely Stories in an interesting graphic novel. There are four odd short stories in the book, each a little more twisted than the others in various ways. It's an interesting read, if you're a Neil Gaiman fan, or if you're looking for a very adult graphic novel that isn't about superheroes.

Brilliant! I
I really enjoyed this but it was just way too short of a season.
It's fantasy that I have never seen before and what makes it even better is how it includes many of the everyday things we all read about, see, experience etc, such as racism, sexism, etc.
I can to wait for season 2

EmersonRose (320 KP) rated Witch & Wizard (Witch & Wizard, #1) in Books
Nov 20, 2019
Witch and Wizard is a fun story that felt like a cross between Harry Potter and Hunger Games. The modern wizard magic discovery meets apocalyptic government takeover. The story was short but fun and filled with lots of magic. The main characters were interesting and strong. I also really liked that Elijah Wood was one of the narrators.
I am a huge Christopher Paolini fan as I grew up on the Eragon books. I am stoked that he is writing in that world again. I found these three short stories to be fun and a cool way to explore the world. I also definitely squealed every time we got to see any of the old characters!

Volume 3 of One-Punch Man is fine, but it didn't seem like it had a fluid storyline. It almost felt like there were bits and pieces of stories from brainstorming sessions thrown in together for no reason. Sonic came to fight Saitama, but that part of the book was extremely short, considering he's the volume's cover.
