Books With Lennon 📚

Almond by Sohn Won-Pyung My rating: 4 of 5 stars I just finished my first book of 2024! And it was amazing. (4.5 stars) This is a powerful story about a boy who was born with a brain condition called Alexithymia that makes it hard for him to feel emotions. Please check the trigger warnings before going into it. I loved it and couldn't put it down, but it was intense. A real rollercoaster of emotions. Happy 2024! View all my reviews

The Forsaken Planet by Bryan Wilson My rating: 4 of 5 stars I had a lot of fun reading The Forsaken Planet! Last night I finished this book, and I realized how much I was invested. I ate up the final 30% of the book. In a universe where different planets are inhabited by humans capable of controlling the power of the stars called Solara, Earth was the only human planet where these powers have been forgotten. An ancient prophecy claims that the one who wields the power of the stars on Earth is the Son of the Prophets and will lead humanity to Salvation. The MC Colton survives an attack of alien forces on Earth and is suspected to have wielded Solara in the night when the attack took place. The journey leads us to Vintara, a distant planet with a purplish tone to its atmosphere where most of the action will take place. The book is a very detailed sci-fi saga that brings classic and fantasy elements to the game, resulting in an immersive experience for the reader. The biggest quality

The Sword of Kaigen by M.L. Wang My rating: 5 of 5 stars I was not going to give 5 stars to this book, because I had a lot of issues going through the first 60% of it. There are some poorly executed transitions between timelines in the first few chapters. In the end, the story seemed to open a new arc that would never close... Still, regardless of its flaws, this is an absolute masterpiece. Very clumsy, but still a masterpiece. The action is like Avatar: The Last Airbender on steroids. If you liked the concept of elemental bending, you'd see it go to its full extent in this book. The characters were so real and heavy, and the story was so dark. Still, the author managed to wrap up the story in a way that warms your heart. It's impossible to read the book without feeling pissed off at Takeru for the most significant part of the fucking book. There was no way not to empathize with Misaki after having to put up with Takeru. I loved the story. It made me incredibly fond of all
