Review: Persepolis Rising

Persepolis Rising Persepolis Rising by James S.A. Corey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really like The Expanse. Whenever there is news about a new book being published I add it to my pre-orders without hesitation. And I was right to do so with this installment as well.

I read some reviews before starting this book and I was a little afraid of this happening 30 years after the point in time the last one finished. But it works out great. There are the old and loved characters just as well as some new ones.

The political intrigue, the action scenes, the character development and the beautiful writing which at the same time manages to be sarcastically witty from time to time always blows me away, and it was the same with Persepolis Rising.

Without wanting to mention any spoilers I stop my review here.

The expanse is still the king of the genre in my books, or at least the king of contemporary sci-fi.

Read it. You'll love it.

Review: The Silence of the Lambs

The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris My rating: 5 of 5 stars I've read this book like 3 times when I was a teenager, but apart from the main plot I only remembered that I loved it very much. I think I didn't even know at that time that this was the part of a series. Now though I intend to read the whole series in the "correct" order so after finishing Red Dragon, I re-read Silence of the Lambs as well. Even though some memories came back during reading it was still a very exciting and enjoyable experience. Thriller and horror and not my main go-to genre, but I think Hannibal Lecter is one of the best villains of all time. I totally recommend it to anyone, even if not having read Red Dragon. So far, this is the best part of the series for me. View all my reviews
