A little Hatred

The thrilling sequel to the first Law and its follow-up books. Set in an industrial revolution age, class struggle, money, and power are keywords. The characters are fascinating and funny in that you can see their faults even by following their perspective.

Animal Farm

The animal farm animals are free, having rebelled and expelled their human masters. Working hard under the leadership of the pigs Snowball and Napoleon, the animals toil and work harder than ever. At least all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Best served Cold

The book is set in a different place than the first law, but a lot of the characters from the first law series are there and it is very much connected. It follows a mercenary woman and her quest for revenge. It is filled with betrayals.

Slaughterhouse Five

The book is about war, and imprisonment. It is written in an absurd matter which hides the traumas the person experience. It is an antiwar novel that is written as a comedy.

Stoner

Stoner portrays the life of William Stoner, from a young man and student to a professor in Literature. The book portrays the small things and trivial conflicts and relationships in life.

The blade Itself

This is the introductory. book in the first law series/world. It is the beginning of the adventure of the main heroes of the first law trilogy. Most of it pertains to mundane tasks and world-building.

The Stranger

One of Albert Camus's greatest works. It tells the story of the main character from such a distant and objective point that the reader gets taken by the meaninglessness of it all. It is a damning view of the way we strive for meaning in an absurd universe.

The Wisdom of Crowds

Last book (for now) in the first law series. It is a good and interesting fantasy book in that it emulates the French Revolution. I quite liked it and how it portrays a turbulent age where power dictates the fate of life.
