In April I read four books, all of them fantasy and science fiction. I should have posted this sooner as I feel like I write better reviews closer to the time I finish a book but I will post what I have from some hand written reviews.

Books:

The first book I read was The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson the last book in Mistborn Era one. We follow from the events of the Well of Ascension where Ruin has escaped and Vin and the crew must try to stop it. While not my favorite of the Mistborn books I did love all the answers to lingering questions and what to Lord Ruler did and why. Also I wasn’t expecting who the Hero of Ages ended up being. I look forward to reading other books in the Cosmere.

A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers is the second book in the Monk and Robot series. Dex and Mosscap travel to different cities and learn from each other along the way. This focuses on the idea that if you have enough and are comfortable in your life do you really need or want more. I love the relationship between Dex and Mosscap and how they learn from each other.

Saiyuki Reload volume seven by Kazuya Mirekura continues from the cliffhanger at the end of volume six. This volume starts to show where the series is going to go as Goku is injured and Sanzo wanting more answers ends up leaving the group. While I love this series I do find that I have trouble explain it to those who haven’t read or watched it before.

The last book I read this month was Rogue Protocol by Marth Wells which is the third book in the Murderbot series. In this one we follow Murderbot who has noticed that the case against GrayCris (the evil corporation from the first book) is slowly falling apart. He decides to travel to different locations posing as a security officer to try to find more information about GrayCris that could help the case. I love that in the end he decides to he needs to meet back up with the group from the first book.
