Best Books of 2025

for Kosygin was my top book last year, too, with a civil campaign, which just tells you how good this series is.

It was good. It was really good. I really liked all three storylines and how the tension just kept building.

I really enjoyed it. Like it snuck up on me. I had a really good time with the plot parts.

This is a fan service, falling action, end of a series book. And I think that's why some people don't love it. But it's exactly why I love it.

I read this in a day on a plane traveling from Madrid to the United States. And boy, was it tailor made for me.

I just had a blast, man. I don't know what to tell you. I was like, devoured it, loved it.

And what I really loved, though, was how beautifully written it was, like the prose was butter like, I loved reading the prose.

If you're like, where should I start? Shards of honor, that's my go to.

Some Desperate Glory. One of my favorite books.

I'm happy to say stuck the landing of the trilogy. It really did. It's ambitious.

I love this book so much. So that was obviously going to be up there. It was like a no brainer five star for me.

I thought it was so original and refreshing to have this kind of perspective and, alien invasion type story.

The Unbroken is one of my favorite books of all time.

But it grew on me so much. And that's because at its core, this book was about two people who are in each other's lives and slowly realize that they can make space for each other and that they love each other.

Now pair that with the fact that the stories have not missed so far. I am adoring them, and some of these are authors I've read from before.
