My latest read: "One Day All This Will Be Yours" by Adrian Tchaikovsky - See my Goodreads review for details but if you enjoy time-travel stories, or even if you don't, this one's worth a look!

Yes, this time, I did check against the text! 😁 (Also, I am not a fan of Mansfield Park as mainly I want to throttle Fanny. What are your thoughts on this book?)

I just finished Moon over Soho, 2nd book in the Rivers of London series, but my 4th if we're counting prequels and extras...

I was a little disapointed because it seems to lack some of the charm that I've enjoyed in the other books.

It's not bad, I still gave it 3/5 stars, and I'll definitely keep reading the series. I just hope this isn't foreshadowing of even less charm in the future.

A nice older review of my fantasy story The Last Philosopher from a non-fantasy reader 😊

My overall impression of "The Last Philosopher" was not what I had expected it to be. As previously mentioned, Fantasy is not my go-to genre. So, going into this story, I was not entirely sure what to expect. Was this story going to be as painfully slow as what "The Hobbit" was? Or was this one of those rare times where I actually found myself enjoying a story of the Fantasy genre? I even enjoyed looking at the pictures that were added to each chapter.

"The Last Philosopher" is a story I would recommend to other readers on here to go read and share with their friends, relatives, frenemies, or anyone that could use a good read. Even if you are like me and have a specific genre you are drawn to, I would recommend you give "The Last Philosopher" a try. I found myself to be progressively more interested as the chapters continued. East really does do well with descriptions of chapters without there being much dialogue included.

As you might expect, when Ronald McGillvray and I created The Post Mortem Report over three years ago, one of our goals was to inform readers about us and our work as authors but we also like to have fun, something I think comes across nicely in our latest trailer for the show. 🙂
