Review: Black Knight

Black Knight by Rina Kent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

One thing for sure is that the author's writing has improved. If she didn't drag Aiden and Elsa's story in three books I might have liked their story as well. What I missed in this book are Levi and Astrid. Their story was decent and it would have been great if there were also more glimpse of their life like the rest.

The best part of this book was where Kir was included. That little guy literally lightens up my mood every time he appeared.

Who goes to the bathroom of a friend's house and doesn't lock the door? It's Kimberly and that's how Xander found out she vomits the food she ate to lose weight. It worked for the story but this was pretty dumb. Other than these stupid mistakes it wasn't that bad.

I have always been curious why Xander bullies Kimberly. The reason was shocking but also makes sense. Although it was a misunderstanding, luckily things went well. I didn't have any expectations from this book however it turned out really good.

Ronan was funny like all the previous books. I hope he only jokes about the threesomes but not act upon it. I am not a fan of sharing and these stuffs. His interaction with Teal was mysterious now I am interested in their story. It was funny when Ronan tried to make Xander jealous by getting close to Kimberly. Those scenes were hilarious but also worked because Xander actually got jealous.

Although Silver annoyed me in the previous books, in this book she came to a different light. Behind her facade she is suffering. I wonder what's Cole and her story would be. Cole is quiet but very observant. Actually before this book, I didn't have much interest but now I want to know what will happen to every character.

The most shocking part is that Xander is actually a virgin while he acted he was a manwhore which was just a facade. That was an interesting plot twist. The epilogue at the end was cute. Is this book safe? I don't know . It has suicide attempt and bullying. The bullying wasn't the worst like the previous books rather mild but the suicide attempt scene was explicit. Other than these it's pretty safe.

The romantic development was good. It wasn't boring rather interesting. I enjoyed it a lot. It was overall entertaining. I never felt bored rather was on the edge to know what happens next.

Review: Norwegian Wood

Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami My rating: 5 of 5 stars Norwegian Wood is a remarkable novel that deals with life, death and isolation. Many people think Toru is a bland character but for me, he is just a lonely teenager who is thrust upon the life of adulthood. He isn't emotionally ready and may never be. This book is his journey to accept grief and live his life. "How many sundays- how many hundreds of Sundays like this - lay ahead of me? Quite, peaceful and lonely," I said aloud to myself. On Sundays, I didn't wind my spring" Toru is terribly lonely. The people around him are very different and often he is only stuck by himself. Sometimes we are just all alone. The ending baffled me. But I think Toru tried to cut his association with death and move on and lead a happy life but he is stuck. For me, this book shows what Toru has become as an adult man in his life. In the beginning, we see him alone, reminiscing his past and ...

Review: Things Fall Apart

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe My rating: 5 of 5 stars Before reading Things Fall Apart, I never knew Africa has such great literature. Don't get me wrong. I knew nothing about Africa before. What I knew was what I saw in the media. Media stereotypes Africa as a way that we think they are dumb and need the help of other countries. But this book changed my thoughts of Africa. After reading this book I realized how delusional I had. I felt ashamed and realized the power the media have. I am a big fan of postcolonial literature, diasporic literature, mainly anything that deals with colonization. As a fellow Bangladeshi, I know the impact of colonization. Everything in Bangladesh screams the movements of colonization. Achebe's book "Things Fall Apart" is a remarkable tale that gives us a beautiful and unique culture Africa had and how it was ruined by the Europeans. This novel tells us about Okonkwo, an Igbo man from Umofia. The nov...
