I really wish I was able to tell you that I loved this book. That it was as good as the first two entries in its trilogy, Red Rising and Golden Son. I wish I was going to sit here and tell you to run out and read this RIGHT NOW, to put everything else aside, and to get lost in the world of Reaper and Sevro for a while. But I’m not able to do that. Sorry. Yes, you should definitely read this if you read and […]
I just wasn’t into this multi-Doctor meet-up :(
I don’t remember where I heard about this comic, just that I did, and immediately reserved it at my library. Watching the 50th Anniversary special a couple of years ago was one of the best fictional experiences I’ve ever had, so I was looking to recreate the feeling a little. Alas, this comic does not manage to convey the feeling of a Doctor Meet-Up, and honestly for me it didn’t even convey “Doctor Who.” I suppose if this had been a TV episode or even […]
She Has a Blow Hole!
I picked up this snappily titled free book fully expecting to hate-read it, but I found that I didn’t actually hate it. I even posted the blurb on fb and dared people to read it (all smug like). But no one took me up on my jerky offer so I had to do it myself. And you know what? It offered everything the title said: I got love, I got lattes, and I was introduced to a mutant (in the form of a dolphgirl–yup, half […]
The One Everyone Seems to Like the Most
I think the consensus is that of all the Star Wars movies, this one is the best? It’s been a while since I watched, so I can neither confirm nor deny that. However, my seven-year-old loves this one so much, we just bought the sheets and duvet. I remember having “A New Hope” sheets, back when the movie was just called “Star Wars.” The book has a prologue that fills in a little bit of the action following the Battle of Yavin (that’s the one […]
I know the birds were supposed to be important because the title said so
All the Birds in the Sky by Charlie Jane Anders is a perfectly cromulent novel. But there’s nothing about it that set my soul on fire. To be perfectly honest, I’m not really sure why it won the Emperor Norton award. It’s a fine novel, but I didn’t see anything that would be “extraordinary invention and creativity unhindered by the constraints of paltry reason.” in the novel. The plot follows Patricia and Lawrence from childhood through adulthood. Lawrence is a science geek and an inventor. […]
The fight gets personal for Rachel.
It’s weird that what struck me the most about this second book in the series after reading it for the first time in lo these many years is how small everything feels. As the series goes on, every book features our young heroes taking on bigger challenges with more and more devastating consequences, but here, the mission is small, and Rachel’s goals even smaller. It’s emotionally intimate. The Visitor is Rachel’s first POV book. Rachel is the beautiful, fashion-conscious one, but she’s much more than […]
