I immediately thought about this book when I started reading Sapiens, about the history of our species. It's an odd little novel that imagines our distant ancestors as sea apes. Half of the book follows Vinny, the daugher of a modern-day paleontologist (well, taphonomist) who visits the dig site that...

This is one of the best books I have ever read. The story is unique in it's own way, always making you wonder what will happen next, with the often cliff hangers at every single chapter. Not one scene in this book has nothing to do with the plot.
The characters are well-rounded. They develop over time,...

I really wanted to like Vengeance of Dragons, but ultimately I was disappointed. The book continues a tiresome tug-of-war for the Mirror of Souls, which really wasn't that cool of an ancient artifact to begin with. Characterizations among the secondary characters were inconsistent, and I often found...
