Short Review - Marshal Zea, or is she anymore? Will be one of my fav characters from now on. Her attitude is different from mine, but something which piques my interest. The story slowly getting clearer as time goes, left my mouth open to the floor. I think this will be one of the stories I would LOVE to complete reading later in my free time.

Short Review: The story's plot and the title haven't made sense to me yet. If it is something that would make sense at the end of the story, then I still might barely give one or two more points. As I believe it must be something clear from somewhere at the start. Okay, the choice for cover is not great but nice. What made me give less score? The story talks about a single tower built deep within and above, into hundreds of floors. But on the cover, there is a bridge from the tower to another twin tower. But the POV changed at a point without warning. And the flashback seemed like, the present character was re-calling it somehow. Even when she wasn't present there. So writing style needs to change. The story was good and needed an edit though.

Short Review - As I said, Eden is one of my fav characters now! Even when the story isn't something I would read, she was a different story. Her love for her son and hate for her husband. I mean, she was ready to fight so many beasts/ soldiers, on her own, to save her son. And the concept of the story on "Corruption" being a symbiosis that can turn to be parasitic. The name seems symbolic and great!

Short Review - The MC is someone who doesn't trust anyone but himself on this path. But he dared to give up his life for his family. To solve their debt. It looks small but that's such a big thing! After the third and fourth chapter, this book got a spot in my heart.

Short Review - I think I already have explained much about this story. The story starts with an interview and the MC's past. It first takes time to show how different the future is from us until the action starts. It's a well-written story, with a few changes and it'd be great.

Short Review - The story starts rather darkly. The MC having realised such a sin he had committed, but at the same time confused about how it happened. And as if things couldn't get worse, they come across a scary underground facility that has an otherworldly being roaming around. I want to know all the secrets right now, just by remembering how I felt reading it.

Short Review - As I said before, the story has good SciFi material, even when I personally didn't like it. The future where nanochips are planted in the brain and it functions as literally EVERYTHING. From an identity card to a communicator to a gaming PC. But the cover, title and blurb must really be changed by a lot!

Short Review - Another story I'm looking forward to reading! The story looks great. It's about aliens visiting us during the American revolution. The way it is described is just... wow! And I already have a present-time fav character who might surely have a dark arc 'cause he is too good to be true. So I think I may not survive this story.

Short Review - I think I have explained enough. And I think (just a personal opinion) that this story better fits into the Fantasy genre. It makes a great book under fantasy! Nevertheless, it's a great book to read. And I have already explained what I "didn't" like about the story. Hope my review is helpful. Have read a story before like this one. So doesn't completely feel original, but is great nevertheless.

Short Review - I just- it's great okay? I really searched for ways to reduce points, but it's just great. Honestly, all of the stories in this list were. But this is just ultimately good I feel. The author has put their time into this a lot, character sketches, arcs, story-lineage. I think the ONLY thing I can complain about is... nothing. I seriously am flattered. I just want this author to teach me how to do it. I must show that I have read this story right? The story starts with the myth of Apollo and Daphne. In the future, people have tended to forget the past, and hence it is supposed to repeat. Or who knows? The present isn't very pretty. Clones have taken over the traditional humans after a war. Even their thoughts of every second are evaluated. And humans (traditional) are forced to reproduce so that even the next generation is forced into slavery. I see that even clones were victims once and this all is just justice to them. I just, can't decide who is better. I dearly hope the end is justice to both races.
