"Eye of the Storm" Review

Eye of the Storm by John  Goode
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First impression be damned, this book wasn't the same one after the first one and by all means I meant that in a good way. Great even, because the effect of surprising the reader from a different theme to another was fluidly executed.

I'm not a science fiction fan myself but I literally enjoyed the book. It took just much willpower on my part to not give up on the book because it wasn't my thing and it did not disappoint. Half-way on the book I was enjoying it so much that I do not mind a lot of new information was being thrown at me, and amazingly, I understood them as if I knew about Realms, Lord-of-the-rings-clashed-with-Star-wars type of scenarios. The plot, the story, was real magic itself.

Plot aside, I'm really liking the character build-up not only between Kane & Hawk, but the others as well. Like Ater, Ferra, and Ruber most especially, damn even on Tatiana and Oberon. The book carried enough emotional turmoil that it wouldn't look too "action" movie of blood, guts, and war. I'm really thankful of that.

AM I LOOKING FORWARD TO THE THIRD BOOK? FUCK YES ABSOLUTELY I AM, SIR AND MADAMS. I'm so hyped up for the third book so much that you must agree with me that the book, even on the last pages, gave me so much feelings and excitement, it isn't a joke to say how awesome this book was.

John Goode's words/story on the last book was a nice touch also. It only didn't made me know about him more, but absolutely think of him of a guy who isn't really doing this wonderful books with raw writing skills, but with help and patience. Especially with cats. Cats are always a nice touch. That's why this is a perfect 5 STAR!

Reading more Gay Romance or M/M Erotica books

I promise I won't bring in religion topic into this post but just to educate you, I believe in God. Second, I support same-sex relationships and marriages. Third, I do a lot of daydreaming I was born a dude and likes guys ... It would be fun if that comes true. Now back to the topic:

I'm the kind of person who has a flair interest with Gay Romance if not fetish. It feels like whenever a tendency like that occurs, the stakes or hardships are doubled and the result of certainty in love is greater. Being simply heterosexual in our time today has different approach. Most of us (I could tell) are mature enough to accept it, because what is there not to? Everyone is unique, as they popularly say. You may like baseball as much as I like football but that wouldn't change that we both are human beings, with feelings, with eyes, nose, and many more. Few of us (I respect them) are strongly agreed on their beliefs that they won't have it any other way. Hence, the issue I know will never cease or stop, so I won't tire myself on telling my opinion until needed.

Now you would wonder what is a straight girl loving on Gay stories? Like there is something wrong with it, but of course there is not but let me tell you I had my share on identity crisis. I myself was a lesbian on age 15. Not because of the media, not because I see people doing it, but because I started feeling a great attraction to girls. I kissed some, loved some, and even went on with a relationship. I do not regret anything but unfortunately one day I stopped infatuating myself with girls because guys pull harder on me. That doesn't mean I shunned my ability to find a woman attractive because I can assure you I have lust tendencies when I find a girl enough to make my underwear drop. Also that doesn't mean I neglected people who are heterosexual. If not a supporter, I understand them. Sure because I had an experience to be one, BUT THAT AIN'T THE POINT, LOVE.

I love this kind of stories because of the emotional and character depth the author deals with (also the sexual overtones). I mostly love the stories where a guy or girl is on the verge of confusion about their sexuality only to realize people could give a fuck and she/he won't care. The transition of one weak (or scared) individual to someone who has enough voice and guts to tell their real sexuality and leave it at that is flawless for me. It what makes people flawless, what makes this character from books such a epitome of what people should understand. Same goes to people who loves them, it paces the story not into something lovely but challenging and near to action. It's bad enough I am obsessed with books, but now I'm obsessed on books like Something Like Summer (which I promised to do a review on, but I was such in a emotional wreck after reading it, I don't think I can give it justice), Maybe with a Chance of Certainty and many more.

My fondness on this will never change, I think. Jesus, I even suggested (I did not force him, K.) to my boyfriend to start reading as well and of course he doesn't lie when he said "He likes it and finds it ... good." If you know what I mean. OK, OK. I'm stopping right there. I think I need to go and fish some more books.
