When I picked the Science Fiction module for my university course, I was hoping that I would be reading some brilliant novels that I could really get stuck into. I did not think that one of them would be about monks and would span hundreds of centuries and that it would bore me to death. There were obviously a couple of redeeming qualities otherwise I wouldn’t have given it 1.5 stars, but it was just a complete yawn-fest. …
If you’re not aware of what First Impression Friday is, it was created by Joe at JW Martin – Storeys of Stories where, every Friday, he talks about his first impressions of his current read. I actually think that I’m going to do this bi-weekly because, at the moment, I don’t think that I’m going to be reading books that quick due to university.
I also think that – where Joe has said that he will just come back to his FIF post and link his reviews – I’m going to come back to the post, and just write if I was wrong or right. So I have my predicted ratings, and then I’m going to write my actual rating and a couple of sentences on what I actually thought. But I will link my full review as well (once it’s written!) …

I was browsing my local library one day when I came across The Lantern’s Ember. I had heard a lot of hype surrounding it, and I was actually surprised that my library had a brand new release! I also had been sent a copy by the publisher, so at least I could read the physical and the e-book version. The cover was gorgeous and the premise sounded right up my alley, so I decided to take it home and dive right into it. …
