The Light of All that Falls

by James Islington

Choice is meaningless without consequences, and a privilege we do not deserve if we will not face them.

Now thissssss is how you DO time travel!!

What the heck, James, that was amazing!

So obviously 10/10 I loved this book and the ending to the Licanius Trilogy, so much so that while I was reading that last 40 pages of this book and waiting for my pizza to cook, I let my pizza burn instead of putting it down for even a moment! I was shook at the ending, heck I was shook in the middle, James really had fun with the time travel and shape shifting aspect of these characters powers and I am here for it .

I loved these characters the entire story, I loved the plot, who intricate everything was, the amazing world building that Islington did here was amazing! This is just a great example of epic fantasy to me.

He took the ending-of-the-world-as-we-know-it trope and gave is a fresh spin, I don't want to give too much away here, so please read them.

What If's

What If's By Ashley The Science Fiction and Fantasy genre's of literature can be hard to describe. They can take place anywhere, in space, under water, virtual realities, or nowhere at all, in some made up place like Middle Earth in Lord of the Rings. One author, Veronica Roth, described it as the genre of "What If's". What if these certain worldly limitations vanished, or what if humanity discovered this new technology, what if something or everything was different, what would it do to humanity. Authors make us these scenarios and let it play out, focusing in on one character living in that "What If", and playing out how they would respond. Thats what makes this genre so special, there are no rules and authors play gods. For me, the difference between Science Fiction and Fantasy is that in Science Fiction, those "What If's" come from a new discovery, something that someone discovered and explored and it changed the world as we know it.

Ender's Game vs. Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

Ender's Game and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Orson Scott Card and Gabrielle Zevin Welcome to the human race. Nobody controls his own life. The best you can do is choose to fill the roles given you by good people, by people who love you. On the surface level, Enders Game and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow have nothing in common. In fact, the only reason I even thought about these two books being comparable was because I read them one after another, and both had an impact on me, but I wasn't sure what is was. Enders Game is a science fiction novel written in 1985, and is about one boy, Ender, being the only hope for the human race to defeat a war against a bee-like alien species. The training for this was was done through strategy games and fake battles, and training began at 6 years old for Ender. Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is realistic fiction and about two people coming together and creatin...

The Prince of Thorns

The Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence This series by Mark Lawrence changed my reading life. I read it during high school and four years later, I still think about lines from these books. This is what made me declare Mark Lawrence as my favorite author. I started reading more adult fantasy after this and picked up his other trilogy series (The Liars Key) and the only reason I haven't read the rest of he books is because I want to have the time to fully enjoy them and I'm simply not in a place, mentally, where I can appreciate these books and Lawrences story-telling skills. These books take place in the future after humanity as we know it destroyed itself. There were the builders, and that represents us/current time in history, and how the world was broken after us and we left fragments behind and now humanity is back to medieval times. That concept is really hitting home now with the stat...
