I will review the library currently on my phone, with off the cuff ratings starting with the most recent:

[Solaris] - 4.8/10
DNF got bored of the concept and saw where it was going already after two chapters.

[The Throne of Bones] - ?? DNF
read like 6 pages before bed and forgot about it the next day.

[Book of the New Sun] - 5/10
DNF. Just really not my cup of tea. I understand why people like it but there's an abstractness to it that I dont find comfortable to immerse in.

[Hyperion] - ??
dont think I even opened the epub file. Just downloaded it because nobody ever shuts up about it.

[The Gulag Archipelago] - N/A
Just wanted to know why J. Peterson memes about it so much, just a bunch of boohoo slavs are sub-par awful humans which we all already fucking knew anyways didnt we

[Interview with a Vampire] - 7/10
Finished. The formatting in the epub I found had grammar errors and text walls which made it annoying to read, but I enjoyed the story and Louis' perspective of the other characters.

[Twilight 1-4] 6.3/10
Read these initially in high school to get chicks. Reread it every few years because it's a bit comfy and I can talk to my girlfriend about it. Midnight Sun replacing the first book massively improves the rereads.

[Cradle 1 - 11] 10/10
Did a reread for the release of Dreadgod. I dont know what it is, they're not even necessarily objectively good, or maybe they are. I don't know. I just like reading them, a lot. A fucking lot. And I dont need anyone's fucking permission either, so biased 10 rating

[Assortment of Sanderson Books] 2/10
I fully read some of these but ugh who fucking cares already they're a dime a dozen at this point

[Riftwar Legacy] 6.8/10
Finished all of them. Just continuing Riftwar Saga, which hooked me. Wish we had more focus on Pug and less on the plucky kids of the main characters from the first three

[Riftwar Saga] - 7.1/10
Finished all of them. Didnt blow my mind or anything but I was very entertained and invested in the fates of these characters.

[Rampage(Land of the Elementals)] - ??
dont even remember, must have sucked. I think it did.

[Supermage] - 1.5/10
Holy christ this is cringe. Something about stats and video game panels but they're not in a video game? And it's about some teens running from a comically villanous mayor/girls father. Ehh fuck off

[Buryoku 1-9 ] - 7.3/10
series written by the same author as above. It's a clone of Cradle in a way that's almost lawsuit worthy, but it's still the same shonen esque power climb and it's not horribly written. Actually quite enjoyed it a fair bit. If you're a Cradle fan and need another fix, no memes this is the medicine.

[Ultramarines Omnibus] - ??
I remember the first few pages were combat but I guess it wasn't gripping enough for me to stick around.
