Scythe by Neal Shusterman// Book Review

(This Review might contain Spoilers :) 
I recently finished Scythe by Neal Shusterman, and may I just say I loved it. It had plot twists that I never could have guessed, I was shocked almost all the way to the end.

 Scythe is one of those books that once you start reading all you want to do is to see how the book will eventually wrap-up - and may I just say I liked the ending plot-twist. Something that I really appreciated within this book was the writing style Neal Shusterman used, it's really easy going/straight to the point and isn't very prose heavy - which helps people like me who can lose interest easily.

 Now with all of that said this would be an otherwise 3 star book for me. But I think what pushed this over towards a 4 star book was the world, concept & execution of the concept. The utopian setting of the book feels somewhat unique & tangible. 

 RATING: 4/5 stars

Separating Art From The Artist? // Book Review // Opinion

 Should we Separate The Art from The Artist?  Author's Note ;  The last 2 years now I have not been blogging nor have I been consistent anywhere else on the internet, as I have been going through a lot in my personal life. I would like to formally offer up an apology for my absence. I would like to thank every single one of you that dm'ed me on my instagram asking where I had been, i appreciate the concern and love.  This post was initially written as far back as December 2022 with additional embellishments made in present day 2025.  With the recent allegations of acclaimed artists, writers, and even musicians like Kanye West, or R Kelly. It's made me wonder on whether or not we should be calling on the separation of the artist from the art that they have created. Under the current social climate in which we live in it could be seen as a daunting task to voice your opinion on art that social media might have to convinced is harmful to greater societal norms. How...

The Heroes of Olympus//Series Review

*Disclaimer/Apology* Sorry for not posting any new blog posts for quite sometime, I’ll try to not do this sort of infrequent posting thing again. If you want any new content from me or reading updates. You can follow me on Instagram (@themostlybookishblog) . Because I’m much more active on those platforms. With that out of the way; last time I posted something on this blog it was a review of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series by Rick Riordan. At the end of that post I mentioned that I was going to review the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan.  So, without dragging this out any longer than it needs to be. This is my individual reviews for each book in the series.                            The Lost Hero The first book in this series is actually one of my least favourite books in the series and one of my least favourite books from Rick Riordan. The book had a plo...

Teen Titans: Beast Boy loves Raven // Graphic Novel Review

So, I somewhat recently read the latest installment in the ongoing Teens Titans graphic novel series by Kami Garcia & Gabriel Picolo.  As a preface - this review is just my personal opinion, I am by no means knowledgeable about Garcia's other books, or about certain aspects of these character's other comicbook portrayals (I'm abit knowledgeable about Teen Titans but I by no means know everything).  I unfortunately found this book very very boring to sit through, I quite liked the previous installments of this series. However, this one was lackluster in comparison to the other books in the series. Especially in regards to plot, writing, and character development. Throughout this blog post I will exposit more.  Firstly, I liked Garfield/Beast Boy's development of his powers and him really learning how to better understand and use said powers better in this book than in his solo orgin book, and seeing Raven be there for him in that process and empathizing ...
