SIX OF CROWS BY LEIGH BARDUGO


 To begin with, it is the collector's edition and the copy of the book is very much appealing to read. The plot of the story lies in a country called Kerch. Kaz Brekkar is a boy in his teens who became the leader of the Dregs in young age. The crew of six members of the crow club is assigned to a very daring and deathly mission in turn of a huge sum of money that one could imagine. The mission involves entering the much secure Ice Court in Fjerdan.
They build up an apt plan before their start but unfortunately things end up much complicated and dangerous to their expectations. Things go very wrong and they become helpless at times. Will the crew accomplish their task? Will their debts be met? With no great unity even among the six will they end up alive? The entire journey is completely breath taking and adventurous. The book includes the Grishaverse magical members. The Grisha magic will make sense if you have read the "Shadow and Bone" Triology but I have not read them yet and still was able to understand the story well. The author has taken lots of imagination to build the story and it is a mere evidence of her efforts. The people in the story are bound by vengeance, greed, fear, debts, love, revenge, bravery and much more and each characters have their own past that explains their current situations. Kaz Brekkar is a very powerful character and his attitude takes the story to a next level. I have taken so long to complete this wonderful book yet it deserves all those waitings. I recommend everyone to get into this wonderful Grishaverse story and experience it yourself.

Daughters of Charchinar

I am so grateful that I got to read this book. The Daughters of Charchinar by Almas Hussain is a book that everyone should read atleast once in their lifetime. It hit me damn hard in so many ways. This book is about Nafisa and Meher, twin sisters born in the land of Charchinar where the life of women is not at all imaginable. They are raped as punishment for crime committed by the men in their family. They are killed just because they wish to pursue education. Charchinar is a land where girls and ladies are treated worse than a non-living thing. When I did read the blurb of the book, the line "Here, rape is a punishment and not a crime" itself made me feel so much scared and also it was then that I knew this book is a must read. The twin sisters lose their mother during their birth and from then they grew up in the kitchen and taken care by the cook Tuktuk. Their lives are impacted so much by the meaningless and barbaric rituals of Charchinar. The book then follows the life o...

BOOK SERIES REVIEW

THE CURSEBREAKERS SERIES BY BRIGID KEMMERER Reading has always been an inevitable hobby since my childhood and being that way, fairy tales are always special. Who doesn't love escaping what we know as reality and living in a magical land with mysterious and interesting creatures, witches, characters that we dream about, superpowers and what not? The Cursebreakers series has one such fictional world called Emberfall with totally lovable characters.

YESTERDAY'S GHOST BY NIKHIL PRADHAN  There is this group of four people, part of the army team called the Black Team who took part in a secret mission in Sri Lanka thirty years back. They were then forced to retreat from the armed forces and each move in a sepertae path to lead their lives. One day, they receive a code message related only to the event that shook their life thirty years back and their nightmares come true. If you are a sucker for Paranormal reads, this one is your plate of pie. In fact, I was sort of scared to sleep the night I read this book. It will definitely give you that vibe because of the setting, the mysterious character called Black Knight and the chain of events that would relate to creepy & ghostly stuffs. Now, moving apart from the gothic feeling, I felt that the book was confusing at some points like...I could not follow the writing very clearly and I also feel some questions are unanswered though I could not tell what the questions were. It was ki...
