I read some fantastic books in 2018, but there was a few that were okay... just a little bit of a letdown.

REVIEW
Goodreads
This book got a lot of hype within the SFF circles, and because of this, I was disappointed by the praise it got. I really didn't like how the women were written, when there were women, and they become nothing but motivation and plot devices for the central characters. However, I did enjoy the humour - so there's the positive.

Is this a surprise that this is on my list? I was greatly let down by the final book in the trilogy, and this was just even worse. I understand that this is a novella, however, there was no real plot except for the ridiculous sex scene.

REVIEW
Goodreads
I have heard so much praise for Leslye Walton's debut book, so when I saw this new release for a £5 at YALC, I jumped at the chance to pick up a copy. A contrite love-triangle, and loss of interest after the prologue left a lot to be desired.
Joanne Harris
REVIEW
Goodreads
My flatmate has been hyping this book up since I first met her in my second year. Sad to say, I had some issues with the blank canvas that the main character appears to be.

I remember it took me ages to actually get through this one. Every time I put it down, I wasn't compelled to pick it back up again and so what could've been a few hours of reading... took at least the entire month.
