Dune By: Frank Herbert


234225.



Goodreads

A classic science fiction novel with a world of imagination. The writing was bad in the beginning but you get use to it through the book.

There are so many characters and each character has so many names so it gets confusing. One person has a name for war, name as a lover, name as a son, first name, last name... etc.

I love the concept of how the people treat water as if it's gold, they talk about killing someone to take their water, or if someone cries it's a huge deal because it's shocking someone would spend their water.

The story is constantly shifting and moving which keeps it interesting. Sometime's there would be huge plot wholes and time jumps and you wouldn't know it until after.

There were a couple deaths near the end of the book and it was only mentioned in passing, wasn't written on how they died, when, how, etc. just as a piece of news...

I love the powers of the Bene Gesserit, so manipulative and strategic yet scary and mysterious.

I also liked the crysknife and the rules behind owning one.

Brisingr By: Christopher Paolini

Love the Eragon series.

I can tell that Paolini's writing skills are getting better and better as the books go by.

Love the fantasy, character development and a few twists and turns in the book. Sometimes the book dragged on, but besides that I love love looooooved the book.

This book is added to one of my favourite books of all time. This book is the definition of the joy of reading. The way Rothfuss writes is so engaging and you just get lost in it. I can't wait to read the next one!
