The Daylight War (The Demon Cycle, Book 3)
Reviewed by Villiana
After the sensational, or at least very good previous parts, here I’m totally disappointed, because it was simply boring. At the beginning we know mainly the story of Inevera, her youth and the events that we already know, but from he... More

Requiem (Delirium)
Reviewed by Villiana
“There are some losses we never get over.” I don’t know if I like this whole story. There were moments when I was terribly bothered, even to the extent that being in the middle of the book I reached for another book, I found myself... More

Will certainly be spoilers :) “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.” I'm going back to the classics. My first contact with this book took place about 15 years ago, when this item ... More

Legend
Reviewed by Villiana
"Legend" was lying on my shelf for a long time before I took to reading. I do not know what exactly distract my attention from this book, maybe a little impressive cover, maybe quite patriotic titles of the series, I assumed that it would b... More

Inhuman (Fetch #1)

I was intrigued by the cover, curious description of the book and convinced the good grades on various portals. For me personally, it was a hit, I penetrated to the world described by the author and I am sure that this world will long remai... More

The Walking Dead, Vol. 1: Days Gone Bye
Reviewed by Villiana
I didn’t read in my life too many comics and I must admit that it was a really nice change. I love The Walking Dead tv series, and I've always wanted to check how looks original, and finally I did it. I love it. Fast action, really gre... More

The Road
Reviewed by Villiana
“People were always getting ready for tomorrow. I didn't believe in that. Tomorrow wasn't getting ready for them. It didn't even know they were there.” What can I say about "The Road"... was a long, sad, rather monotonous, and genera... More

The Long Walk

I had very high expectations about this book. Whole didn’t disappoint me, but not left a big 'wow' or any other great affection. The book was just good. I accompanied these boys from the start to the end, sometimes with more and someti... More

Sapphique (Incarceron)
Reviewed by Villiana
“He had wanted so hard to Escape, to find the stars. And all he had found was a new prison.” After reading "Incarceron", which was very interesting, I had to reach for the continuation. And I have to admit that the whole thing was co... More

Tomorrow, When the War Began
Reviewed by Villiana
I ran into this book completely by chance while searching for some interesting dystopian items for young people. I said "why not?" and added a whole series on the waiting list to read in the future, but absolutely never heard of this book, ... More

The Shadow Of The Wind
Reviewed by Villiana
“Books are mirrors: you only see in them what you already have inside you.” Finally! I don’t remember from when I wanted to read this book and the moment finally come. Until now, I had the pleasure to read "Mist Trilogy" by the sam... More

The next part of this fascinating and incredibly instructive adventure behind me. Although I don't know if you can call it an adventure... rather a struggle for survival in the cruel world with not losing yourself in this whole situation. ... More

The Time Machine
Reviewed by Villiana
My first review :P Warning, plenty of spoilers :) I didn't know before this story in the original, so I have to admit that the Time Machine plowed my brain, like a herd of hurtling buffaloes. I still don't know exactly what to write,... More

''In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make the claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of exper... More

Reviewed by AJWyrm
I only read this book because I wanted to play the GBA game based on it. (Well, based on the movie, which I haven't seen.) I fully expected it to be terrible, but wow, it's sheer awfulness just blew me away. I don't think there is one or... More
