Barren land - review of the book "At the foot of the Slavic parnassus"

03.01.2022 Agnieszka Czoska 0

The Replika publishing house consistently refreshes subsequent ethnographic items explaining our folklore, and above all, how little we know about it. At the foot of the Slavic Parnassus, it is a good place to start, but even better - as a supplement to Bohdan Baranowski's books.

Cats for special tasks - review of the book "The valley of Amazingity"

02.01.2022 Agnieszka Czoska 0

Sometimes it is so, that about a book (even as a reviewer) you have to say mainly "it's great". The situation is a bit of a stalemate, because you are pressed for other people to read, but it ends with glowing eyes in delight. This is how I announce that The valley of Amazingity is great and now I'll try to share this feeling somehow.

Cats for special tasks - review of the book "Dolina Amazingity"

Sometimes it is so, that about a book (even as a reviewer) you have to say mainly "it's great". The situation is a bit of a stalemate, because you are pressed for other people to read, but it ends with glowing eyes in delight. This is how I announce that The Valley of Weirdness is great and now I'll try to share this feeling somehow.

Be careful, because you never know where the old Slavic deities are lurking - a review of the book "Nawia. Shamans, whispers, demons "

I don't know much about Slavic mythology, but I really like anthologies with stories written for a specific topic. I also have mainly good experiences with Polish fantasy writers, so I accepted Nawia's announcement with great enthusiasm and great curiosity.

How not to publish books based on fan sentiment - a review of the book "The Unofficial Hogwarts for the Holidays Cookbook", an unofficial publication inspired by the Harry Potter series

29.12.2021 Jarosława Trzpis 0

Reading the announcement that a book with recipes referring to one of my beloved series will appear on the market, I had before my eyes magical dishes and their fantastic photos. Unfortunately, the publication brought me and my expectations down to earth very brutally.

Do you know Then listen to it! - review of the book “Komornik. Debtors arena # 1 "

22.12.2021 Agnieszka Czoska 0

Michał Gołkowski got us used to bravado and endless stories. He efficiently jumps between several universes, always gives his readers a technicolor language ... and the main characters somewhat similar to each other. Now he returns to the bailiff , although the case seemed to be closed ...

You too can become a god! Just murder the earlier - book review "Lore"

20.12.2021 Jarosława Trzpis 0

A bit of mythology, a bit of youth, a bit of a struggle to survive and we have a new novel by Alexandra Bracken. Is such a mish-have of everything a good idea? Or maybe the author wanted to make everyone too happy?

How to diversify the evening reading of a book to a child? Choose an item that not only has text, but also a whole host of sound effects and beautiful illustrations. The new series from the HarperKids publishing house is a great publication that provides the youngest with a lot of emotions.

About the origin of Jakub Wędrowycz ... - review of the book "On the other side of the book"

This time Fabryka Słów did not publish another novel by Andrzej Pilipiuk, but an interview with him by Jacek Skrzypacz. Is it worth finding out what is in the head of the Great Grafoman?

The magic fairy tale continues - review of the book "House of many ways"

After the Howl's Moving Castle and Castle In The Air, we have finally finished the trilogy written by Diana Wynne Jones. But is the House of many ways as good as the previous parts?

The World in Decline - a review of the novel “The end. A fairy tale about a city where it always rains and the world is over"

11.12.2021 Ines Załęska-Olszewska 0

A phantasmagoric story, the plot of which was built taking into account the mechanisms characteristic of a crime fiction, not devoid of surreal flair and unusual areality. The End is more of a fairy tale than a classic novel; but do not be deceived by these words, this is not a proposition for everyone.
