Books I've Rated 4 / 5
-
Big Little Lies
Finished
Took a little while to get started. Dwelled maybe a bit too long on the politics of being a parent in an upper class community – I see why those bits were there but I feel like there was too much of it before the book established its pace and intent. But once it got going it was surprisingly interesting and well-told.

This is a pretty fun series. I have to read another book before I pick up the third, but I’m looking forward to it.

Mistborn The Final Empire
Finished
After a slow start, where I picked it up and then switched to other books, this turned out to be one of the books I enjoyed most this year – in the genre, if not overall. Fun characters, interesting magical system, pretty well-paced plot. I’ll definitely pick up the next one.
