Sara's reading log

I am a book hoarder and reader. My main genre is SF, but I also love magic realism, fantasy and general fiction. Favorite authors are Iain M. Banks, Ursula K. LeGuin, Haruki Murakami, José Saramago, Isaac Asimov, Ben Aaronovitch and more. My rating system is based on five stars. I rate books based on my expectations and what a books aims to be. This means that the brilliant 'Fahrenheit 451' gets five stars because I thought it would be good, people said it was good, and it was good, but 'A Closed and Common Orbit' also gets five stars because in its series, in its style, I really enjoyed it and was not disappointed.

Talulla Rising by Glen Duncan

  • Genre(s): Horror

After reading and enjoying ‘The Last Werewolf’ last year, I couldn’t help myself when I saw its sequel ‘Talulla Rising’ for sale. In this book the story is continued, this time focusing on Talulla, who is left by herself and pregnant after Jake’s death. She tries to survive with the help of her human companion, but she is soon found by the vampires and WOCOP. This is the start of an adventure to both figure out what is going on with WOCOP and the vampires, and to get her baby back.
The book continues on the world build in ‘The Last Werewolf’. From what I remember from that book, the world pictured here has a lot more groups that have big plans than the last one. It kind of reads like Glen Duncan, the author, is really starting a series, because he sure has enough starting points for more story lines. The story is pretty entertaining, but nothing too deep. Three out of five stars.
