Last Now Next #4



LAST - Pew. I honestly don't know what to make of this book. I loved both the writing - I highlighted several passages - and the themes explored (identity, race and religion among others). However, despite a very strong beginning and my own drive to see where the book would take me, the ending completely underwhelmed me, to the point where I am wondering if I actually understood what the author was trying to do.

NOW - Rage of Dragons. This is military fantasy and it is indeed quite heavy on the military training and the military divisions. However, I am really enjoying it. The societal class system, as well as the magic one, are extremely complex and I am fascinated by all of it. It also has a glossary at the end which is life-saving as I do tend to look at it here and there for certain words.

NEXT - The Deep. I am keeping my promise and focusing on the books I received from my birthday - so far I've read Pew, Mexican Gothic (review soon) - and in truth I am 20 pages into this one (I started it last night) and I am intrigued.

The Gif Tag!

Jess over at My Reading Dress – seriously, go follow her! – tagged me a while ago to do the Gif Tag and I haven’t been able to post it earlier because I have no clue about technology and I couldn’t make the gifs work so I had to investigate a bit. Also, I haven’t read most of the books of the list. I really hope this works out alright so without further ado, let’s get started! Oh, I might have used more than one gif for some of the books...
