There comes a time, as a reviewer, when you will cross paths with a book that strikes a dissonant chord with you. On one hand, you can recognize the mastery in the writing, the plot, and characters. Yet, on the other, the damn thing is your antithesis. For me 1969: A Brief and Beautiful Trip Back is just such a book. I am not its target audience. But I can still admire the craft.

It has been awhile since I have posted some author news. I apologize for that, but sadly I got a bit carried away by a new job. So here is a quick update of the things that are about to sweep through!
There will be more coming along too, but some things I cannot confirm yet. Still, all in all 2021 is going to be a busy year, and I am terribly excited to see it all come together!
Thanks for reading, and let me know if you have any suggestions, or even posts you would like to see, or topics you would like me to tackle. Have a great one, cheers!
I received this book for an honest review. All expressed opinions, cynical or otherwise, are my own.
Do you remember the last time you had a meal, that, whether it was too salty, sweet, or a combination that started off tasting wonderful, but where your appreciation of it changed at the end? Maybe you even considered this might end up among one of your favorite foods. The thing is, halfway through you are already getting tired of the overbearing flavor. And by the end, you’ve forgotten what drew you to it in the first place. The Sword of Kalki is a bit like that, in the sense that a more lenient application of some of the aspects that I initially found quite alluring, would have served it better in the long run.
