Review: The Well of Ascension
The Well of Ascension by Brandon SandersonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.5 stars. I know that many people consider this among the best fantasy series, and I did like it, but it was not a favorite of mine. Perhaps it has been too long since I read the first book so I didn't remember or connect with the characters as well, but it took me a long time to get in to. However, once I got about halfway through, I started really enjoying it. I think the first half of the book was a 3-star and then the second half was a 4-star read for me. I enjoyed the twists in the second half. This is definitely a good series, but to me it is just good -- not great or amazing. I plan to read the third book soon!

Review: The Tyrant’s Tomb
The Tyrant’s Tomb by Rick RiordanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
First, I LOVE what Rick Riordan does in terms of representation. He does an incredible job or creating diverse casts and I think it would help people really feel seen. His books are hilarious and a whole lot of fun. However, I've just read too many of them now and they all have basically the same sort of plot. I do like Apollo. I've enjoyed seeing him grow and change. That said, I think I'll probably finish this series and then be done with Rick Riordan for a while. I'm just not the target audience and while he is great for so many reasons, I don't enjoy reading the same basic plot 57 times (I know they are different, but they usually all follow a pretty similar formula). I'm not against formulas - they obviously work for him! I'm just tired of this particular formula. I'd definitely recommend this to others though and look forward to when my kids are old enough to read this series! I think my kids will love them someday. :)
