Based upon the reviews, I assumed this wouldn't be a good book, but I found it to be surprisingly well written. Does this feel like Steven Erickson's Malazan? No. Is it a well written book? Yes.

Anyways I was pleasantly surprised with Night of Knives, and will absolutely be continuing the Esselmont books in my trek through Malazan

Lady of the Lake by Andrzej Sapkowski

4.0

Very Good, a solid wrap up to the series. It falls short, for it drags at times.

The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski

5.0

A very interesting take on classical fantasy. The hero is truly broken, and the morally grey choices he must make have a wonderful effect on his character and the world around him

Sword of Destiny by Andrzej Sapkowski

4.0

Not quite as good as the first, the stories aren't as engaging, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have it's moments. There are superb moments that keep you on the edge of your seat

Grave Peril by Jim Butcher

5.0

They said that book 3 is when is starts getting good, and by good golley are they right, this books took none of the bad parts from the previous ones, and takes only the good.

Scythe by Neal Shusterman

5.0

This book was exceptional. It is a well done young adult novel that talks about the morality of killing in a non-imposing, and approachable way. This book was very entertaining and had me on the edge of my the entire time. I could not put it down

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

5.0

This is one of my all-time favorite books of all time, this book introduced me to reading and is the reason why I remain such an avid reader today. Every time I go back and read this series I fall in love with it once again, the humor, the pacing, the story, and the characters all blend very well together in this well written adventure.

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

5.0

"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves."
-Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

John Green provided the antithesis in this book, proving the playwright wrong. For there is truly a fault in in their stars. And how great a fault it is. It is one that breaks your heart, by filling it full, instead of tearing it down.

The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan

5.0

In my opinion, this is the best book of the entire series. The way that the world expands, the dialogue, the ADHD humor, and the tragedy of Greek Myths, is all brought together, in my opinion, the Magnum Opus of Rick Riordan's series.

This is one of my favorite books of all time, and I recommend it to everyone

The Titan's Curse by Robert Venditti, Rick Riordan

4.0

This book is probably the worst in the series, but by no means bad. The characters introduced in this book, have great impact in the story and the books to come.
