Avid reader; mostly nonfiction; history, tech, alternative medicine, self help. Though I love fantasy and science fiction equally.

Awaken Online: Flame (Tarot #2) by Travis Bagwell
Deadly competition. Deep desert. A dying tyrant.

Kat commented on Catharsis by Travis Bagwell
this was a really good first book to an excellent series; excellent world building, and excelent integration of game elements into what is turning out to be a fantastic plot. I am currently reading the side quests right now, and in my personal opinion, they are needed to get the full picture of the story.

Kat reviewed The Final Strife by Saara El-Arifi
Review of 'The Final Strife' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This is a very interesting piece of mythology. It took me a while honestly to get into it, which is odd, but I think that's because of my lack of education in African myths; while I love studying the world's religions, this is not one that's come up.

One of the best books on the history of the internet written in this century. It begins with the important histories of the '90's, and then moves onto the latter eras that have so far shaped our poor excuse for an information highway. But it offers hope, all at the same time.

Kat reviewed Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan by Herbert P. Bix
Review of 'Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan' on 'Goodreads'
One of the most in depth accounts of one of the most remarkable leaders of all time. While highly detailed, yet also highly readable, this book paints a very interesting picture of one of the most possibly infamous leaders in history aside from adolf Hitler, depending on how you look at history and which side you're on.
Hirohito was one of the most provocative and influential people of his time, and while he attempted somewhat to move his country forward, or at least he wanted to, this book demonstrates how he was stopped at every turn while trying to do so. He could have been more well-liked than we was is he hadn't been forced into starting a war that his people never should have had any reason to participate in.

I have read a lot of fantasy series in my life... and so far, this has been the best; this first book will have you flowing right into the second one as soon as you finish it. By the end, you have the most magnificent pile of developing characters, and everyone wants to know more. Page turner to the last.
