vinayvasan.bsky.social @vinayvasan.bsky.social · 29/05/2025A @guygavrielkay.bsky.social book is an event book & #WrittenOnTheDark hews exactly to the template and yet it is so beautiful, soulful & ruminative. There is longing, beauty, loss & ultimately a sense of wonder & melancholy when you finish the book. Mini review below 100

vinayvasan.bsky.social @vinayvasan.bsky.social · 25/05/2025The Devils by @joeabercrombie.com is possibly his most commercial work with trademark Abercrombie-ism studded throughout - the book is pretty much MCU style blockbuster with an added James Gunn-ish edginess. Unputdownable & immensely enjoyable, if a bit predictable and self-aware 000
