Lucy's Pick

Who hasn't heard of the great, white sperm whale of legend? While most people have heard of this beast of a whale, few have read about its origin. I remember seeing a theatrical version of Moby Dick playing on the television a few years ago. I only watched for a few minutes before being bored and going to my room. It wasn't until last year (2021) that I decided to give the book a read. There are very few books that have prompted such a reaction from me, but this book was quite the read.

Being the second installment of the  Wounds in the Sky  series by  V. R. Cardoso , I was excited to see how the story continued from where it left off. This book does an excellent job picking up where the last one left off and seems to build up to its own plot nicely while expanding its universe as well. While the first book had its own share of deaths and high-risk situations, this book seems to take everything to the next level. Unfortunately, it appears that it'll be some time before we get to read the third book, so, for now, I'll have to make do with these two!

Looking through my ebook library, I saw one series that I had started but have yet to finish. When I first got my Fire Tablet, I looked through the free-to-read books, and this series caught my eye. Although a children's series, it provided me with adequate stimulation before heading to bed. I'm not a fan of rabbits. I prefer their predators, birds (which are the villains in this story), but the protagonist won me over, and so did the plot. Mainly, the idea of rabbits with swords was entertaining enough.

To add some variety to my readings, I came across this book. It caught my attention at 'Dragon,' so I decided to give it a shot. Being more of a young adult novel, it's different from the other books I've read. Still, I don't look at complexity in books, but rather the story and this one seemed promising.  The Dragon Hunter and the Mage  is the first book of the  Wounds in the Sky  series by  V. R. Cardoso , who, I believe, is a relatively new author.

So to mark my FIRST post on this lovely new blog of mine, Lucy's Pick , I'll just talk a bit of what you can expect here. This is by no means my first blog. I have another one, Dragonas Talk , over on Wordpress and was a bit active on there before I stopped. I wouldn't say that I QUIT that blog, I'm just finding it very difficult to continue. I got a bit bored of what I was doing and then that HORRIBLE new post editor came out and I just don't want to deal with any of that for now. Which is why I'm now here! I'm not changing that blog to here though. At Dragonas Talk I reviewed anime and talked about other anime/Japanese things in general which is not going to be the case here at Lucy's Pick ! Here at Lucy's Pick you can expect reviews, yes, BUT not of anime or anime culture! Instead you can get my reviews on books and other kinds of literature, at least for now. I'm still working on my vision for this blog's future, so that might chang...
