Review: Control Point

Control Point Control Point by Myke Cole
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 stars. I liked it, but not super liked it.

I started reading this book after I've finished the Armored Saint, which is a fantasy story by the same author. The worldbuilding is quite exceptional here as well, and I really liked the writing too. The story was engaging and believable. But somehow, I found it hard to connect with the characters, especially the main one. They seemed distant and alien a bit and sometimes I didn't really follow what the motivation was for them to do what they chose to do.

But the magic system is really great and feels fresh. The world is quite believable too, no absolute good or bad sides, rather different degrees of grey.

So, I liked it, and I'm sure I'll come back to the series, and also I recommend it to anyone liking the "urban military fantasy" style if that's a thing at all :D

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
