Mistborn (2007) 4 stars

Experiencing an epiphany within the most daunting prison of the monstrous Lord Ruler, half-Skaa Kelsier …

Easy to read and self contained fantastical crime heist

3 stars

The ending was maybe a bit underwhelming, as I was expecting a different outcome from the double narrative in the chapter beginnings, but the book does a very good job of setting up the series while still telling a contained story. The crime heist isnt a usual theme for fantasy books, but it works well ! The magic system is also very well defined but leaves room for expansion (well, as big as the table of elements would allow)

Wild brews (Paperback, 2014, Brewers Publications) 4 stars

When brewers allow organisms other than Saccharomyces yeast to influence the taste of their ales, …

Fertile grounds for future experimentation

4 stars

Full of interesting quotes from brewers, historical information about the evolution of beer in belgian and flemish breweries and technical information about brewing wild beers.

Both the words and the tables were easy to read and more importantly a clear explanation of the reasons behind the various processes gave me plenty of ideas for future experimentation.

La Horde Du Contrevent (French language, 2015, Gallimard) 5 stars

Imaginez une Terre poncée, avec en son centre une bande de cinq mille kilomètres de …

Une expérience unique

5 stars

Ce livre est excellent. La charactérisation des personages et leur dialogue interne est unique et le monde dans lequel ils évoluent est complexe et bien imagé. Chaque paragraphe suit un membre différent de la horde, avec une symbolisation élégante pour accompagner le lecteur dans ces changements de point de vue sur le personage principal; le vent. Je le recommande fortement.
