Batman Knightfall is an iconic storyline that has been one of the most discussed story arcs in the Batman universe. The biggest reason may well be that across so many story arcs and timelines, it is a rare sight to see Batman lose to an enemy.

I picked up Assassin's Apprentice as I had heard a lot about Robin Hobb’s writing, and this book was the first one in the Farseer Trilogy. Honestly, I was in the mood for an epic fantasy but had to realign my expectations because this was more in the high fantasy space. ...
I had not read anything on He-Man and The Master of the Universe till now. In spite of that, He-Man was a big part of my childhood. I was addicted to the He-Man cartoon and would always be ready to do the ‘I Have The Power’ bit with all my passion whenever we had guests.

Keigo Higashino has a perfect record in my book. The author was recommended by my favorite bookstore and I started by reading The Devotion of Suspect X.

What I love about Keigo Higashino’s writing is that he does not follow the who-done-it template. He finds other means to keep the readers hooked, such that it is impossible to stop reading. ...
The concluding part of the King of Scars duology, Rule of Wolves is a supremely satisfying end. Excellent character arcs all throughout, highly pulsating action, and a couple of twists that I did not see coming. ...
