Modern Fantasy
Early this year, I hardly spend my time reading any books. I felt that they were all boring and uninteresting until I bothered to pick up some books from the library during the March holidays.
One of the first books I read was 'Hellstrom's Hive'. The sublime plot and the unique writing style intrigue me not only to read on, but to start picking up the habit of reading. I continued with the science fiction series of 'Saga of Seven Suns', a plot filled with twist and turns, a book of interesting new ideas. From then onwards, I started patronizing the library every 2 weeks, scouring for attractive titles.
My love for modern fantasy started when I started reading Terry Brook's 'Armageddon's Children'. The setting of an apocalyptic world was so amazing, vividly described. I could feel as if I'm watching a movie while immersed in the story. Unlike most stories about fallouts, this book adds an essence of magic and fantasy, where all odds are stacked on the protagonist. From reading this, it intrigued me to continue reading books of the author until this date.
