Asalam o Alaikum and Hi everyone, This is my second journaling! Today I am just going to write about myself and If i write to personal please ignore. I'm first year undergraduate Law student at UniSQ. For me when i went first time to University was hard, I didn't know the places where to go and how to study. How to get updated on everything. The way I learned was listening to lectures and if I didn't had time to listen, I would go listen online recordings. I would read notes, and make my notes out of that. That's how i passed 50% of the trimester.

"The library wants to fight back." STORYTELLING RANK: INCREDIBLE! 4.5 of 5 stars for overall enjoyment Magic, sorcery, witchcraft, supernatural powers and abilities: they're the bread and butter of fantasy writing. We've created scales and rankings to identify magic systems in novels because there are so many that exist (my personal favorite ranking is Brandon Sanderson's ranking of hard magic versus soft magic). And yet, Margaret Rogerson's novel Sorcery of Thorns still gives to magic a new take.

Matthew AngeloPublished 2 months ago in JournalTwo Star Review
"The first book's storyline was so unique I just had to read this one, but the sequel was even more roughly written than the first. Van Orman's writing style is overly simple and I had to ding them for their habit of 'telling not showing' every emotion and thought of every character despite it being a first-person POV. There was also no semblance of a struggle after she unlocked the second level. Everything was too easy. No plot twists. Every plan they came up with was executed without complications so it was just... boring unfortunately."
