I read The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker

The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker My rating: 5 of 5 stars I absolutely love the Hellraiser movie franchise and Clive Barker as an artist, so it was very easy for me to love this book as well. I have recently read Piranesi and have been in awe of books that, although super short, still have such a developed universe. It's the type of book I wish I could write myself someday. The novella was short, and I wish we had more time with the Cenobites. I will definitely be progressing to the comic books to see more of The Order of the Gash! Easy 5 stars. View all my reviews

I read The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski

The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski My rating: 4 of 5 stars 4.5 stars. I loved this book way more than I expected. Before reading it, my only experience with The Witcher was watching my boyfriend play the games. I personally never played much, I only started the first one, but it didn't go through. I never considered the amount of humor in this series, which was a spectacular reading experience. Each short story made us more and more familiar with Geralt, and in the end, I couldn't help but want to read the next book in the series. Also, I am interested in playing the games now since I feel familiar with the characters. I ended up reading this one for being recommended as one of the best series of High Fantasy, and as far as book one goes, it stands for it. View all my reviews
