Pauper

Author: Jack McDonald Burnett
Genre: SciFi, Action, Adventure
Book Rating: 7
Personal Rating: 7

This one was hard to write I actually enjoyed reading it for a while thought it would be a five out of five.  But somewhere around the middle, I realised it was more that I was thinking about what could happen versus what was actually happening.  The story hit one note and sort of hung there with the promise of something big happening and then it didn't.

Pangaea: Unsettled Land



Author: Jarrod D. King
Genre: Action/Fantasy/Suspense/Romance/GLBT
Book Rating: 7.5
Personal Rating: 8

There are a lot of things that make this book awesome.  Plot moves at a fairly decent pace, splashes of humour, a love triangle (who doesn't love those.) and evil villains you can't help but love.  But what really stands out is the opening sequence.  The first few paragraphs are what tells a reader if they should even bother with a book.  This first section was literally only a few paragraphs,, and it definitely won on all accounts.
