Grabbing me in the same fashion as the first, I made my way slower through the first half of the book but by the end, I couldn't put it down until I had reached that final page. Witty, clever and full of character, the Thursday Murder Club strikes again.

4.5

Explore more of the galaxy with Poe Dameron and the Black Squadron in their mission to find Lor San Tekka, it's fun, light and fills in gaps for those eager to know more about the sequel trilogy. It only loses you in the moments where it jumps, be it to save panels or that the script called for it, losing the emotions it was building towards.

Steampunk! an Anthology of Fantastically Rich and Strange Stories by

4.0

This was such a good book to get me into the world of Steampunk and at the end of each tale, you found yourself missing the odd characters and wanting to know what happened to them next. In the middle, there was a couple of tales that went on for too long and had no short story feel that I didn't like which I had to take away a star for but apart from that, they were mostly perfection.

My favourite was the second story about the Glory Girls, not that the ones after didn't beat it, I am just a stickler for that sort of girl power/cute romance.

The Waking World by Tom Huddleston

5.0

This book is incredible! The start, I admit, was a bit slow but once you got to the third chapter, it just kept getting better and better. You do expect some of the "twists" but that's only because Tom Huddleston (ARE WE GOING TO TALK ABOUT HOW GREAT HIS NAME IS?!) hinted a lot at them.

I love how he set it and without spoiling, it does relate to King Arthur without you really meeting him. If that makes sense.
