Fires of Azeroth

Another banger from CJ.
I'm actually reading this and the fourth out of the collected edition but I want the credit for reading two books!!

Three Against the Witch World
3 stars
The only thing I didn't like about this book was that Norton wrote the relationship between two of the triplets in the same way she wrote their parents. I was convinced they were gonna smash by the end of this. I guess there's still time bc I'll probably read the next book lmaooo

Andy reviewed Geometry by Maciej Dunajski
Geometry: A Very Short Introduction
2 stars
First half was a good re-intro to geometry. The second half won't make sense if you haven't taken geometry in a while.
I guess the first half counts as "a very short introduction" lol.

This should be a 4-star. I liked the characters, I liked the adventure, I liked the writing. But it was just so awkwardly Orientalist. White British lady writing this was...

Fascinating method and ethnography.
Another book where the author is only radical re: one very specific topic. How about public pleasure AGAINST class???

"Don't shoot; I'm a white man."
I hate that ERB is fairly successful at writing (bad) adventure novels because his racism ruins it every time! Like, this could have just been a story about a guy finding an island lost in time, but no it is evident that ERB seriously thought Polynesians were savages jfc!!!
So it's like 1.5 stars but no this book is not "okay."

Okay I liked this book, it's alright science fantasy, heavy on the fantasy...
But god the relationship between the main characters is awful and doesn't even really matter to the story. The story isn't improved in anyway by its marginal inclusion, it's just baffling. Why why why it's so gross
