Every Sunday we are taking a look at the world of books. I read a lot and always want to share my opinions on what I read, so I thought it would be fun to write reviews. Today we are looking at a book that was released last year.
Swept Away (2025)

Positive Points
This is a really random concept for a book and initially it is really easy to get into and into the narrative as there is a lot of action and a lot happening.
Negative Points
The book changes halfway through and not for the best, if makes the book turn a way that is not needed. It creates this whole world that is not needed and ruins the story and you can’t wait for it to end.
Overall Review
The concept for the book is really weird but you get used to it and then the second half happens and it ruins the book. It brings in drama that isn’t needed and makes the story unfortunately fail. It’s a book you may want to read but he prepared for a feeling of disappointment halfway through.
