First of all, if you like science fiction at all, this is THE BOOK you should be reading right now. Just stop what you’re doing and go buy it, or reserve it at the library. It’s important you get in on this now before everybody loves it and then the inevitable contrarians pop up to tell everyone how much they dislike it and how everyone who likes it is probably dumb and/or reading it wrong and really it means THIS and HOW DARE YOU. And if […]
This could make a great TV show.
The day I finished reading this book, the news broke that SyFy had optioned The Expanse as a TV show. It was quite auspicious timing, especially since the third book had done wonders for my excitement over the future of this series. Abaddon’s Gate is the third book in James S.A. Corey’s* Expanse series, and it’s my favorite of the series so far. I am probably going to spoil them (probably meaning definitely), so don’t read any farther if you’re planning on reading. The first […]
BETRAAAAYYYYAAAAAAAAALLL
A fitting end, even if I’m not happy about it. At all. Except for I’m happy with most of it except for that one part that was AWFUL AND HORRIBLE AND I HATE IT. And the rest of it was great, but I’m bitter. In case you can’t tell, I’m a little too emotional to give this a proper review. I have no idea what I’m about to type. First things first: until THAT THING happened, this was hands down my favorite book in the […]
There is a dog in this named ‘Achoo Curlypaws.’ It’s farking adorable.
I suppose it was sort of inevitable that I wouldn’t like this one as much as I enjoyed Terrier, but I felt Bloodhound (the second book in Pierce’s Beka Cooper trilogy) had some structural and pacing issues that hampered my enjoyment. Bloodhound picks up a year and a half after the events of the last book. Beka has been an official Dog now for almost a year, but she can’t keep a partner. They’re either incompetent or can’t keep up with her. And then she gets saddled with […]
My favorite Tamora Pierce book (so far).
Well, that was a ridiculously quick 582 pages. I expected to take at least three to four days to get through it, but as soon I started, I just couldn’t seem to stop reading. I think I finished it in a little over a day. Terrier is the first in Tamora Pierce’s latest young adult series, Beka Cooper (sometimes also known as Provost’s Dog). It takes place about 200 years before Alanna: The First Adventure (which was Pierce’s first book, and the first of The […]
Exit, pursued by a wampa.
This second jaunt into Ian Doescher’s Shakespeare/Star Wars hybrid imaginary universe, entitled William Shakespeare’s The Empire Striketh Back, only solidifies my opinion that these adaptations are more than gags and novelties to be gifted to nerdy friends (although they can be used for that purpose as well). I purposely use the word ‘adaptation’ here because Doescher’s attention to detail and his thoughtful approach to both the story and to Shakespeare’s forms and techniques clearly illustrate that although the results for us as readers may be fun […]
