I love a good pun and Lumberjanes continually delivers. The title of the fifth volume plays on band in the literal and “come together” uses. Because this is the Lumberjanes, the literal band is made of mer-people, and coming together is one of the best traits of these hard core lady types. This collection of comics opens with a flash back to the first day of summer camp as we see each girl being dropped off. These scenes give us a brief peak into their […]
Friendship to the Max?
In volume four, Out of Time, the Lumberjanes once again are faced with supernatural forces but the real challenge comes from within. Jealousy and refusal to stand up for a friend can be devastating to friendships. In this collection of comics, Lumberjanes young and old grapple with the motto “Friendship to the Max”. What starts as an innocent camping trip with their long suffering councilor Jen, turns into a rescue mission when a blizzard mysteriously blankets the area. Separated from her girls, Jen is injured and […]
The first one’s always free
A few years ago I challenged my husband to find me a new author. He came back with Brent Weeks’s The Black Prism, volume one of the “Lightbringer” series. I loved it and instantly became a fan. Looking into him I discovered that he had previously written “The Night Angel Trilogy”. While curious to read more outside of the Lightbringer books by this newly discovered author, my TBR is deep, so I passed on seeking it out and instead focused on the books physically in front of […]
Less Plot Recycling but Characters are Still Reused
Even though I was underwhelmed by the first book, The Abyss Beyond Dreams, I decided to persevere and conclude “The Chronicle of the Fallers”. In the year 2384 a group of humans leave Commonwealth space to found their own society. They find themselves sucked into the Void, where time moves differently and technology is dampened to nearly primitive levels, and dumped on a planet they name Bienvenido. Not only does the Void warp space time, it also gives sentient creatures the ability to perform telekinesis and […]
According to Amazon reviews, I’m in the minority regarding this book
I took advantage of my kids being in summer camp this past week to tackle a door stop sized sci-fi novel, The Abyss Beyond Dreams by Peter F. Hamilton. Who seems to be only able to write giant books. Once there was a time that I sought out books of significant width, as they would last longer. And by last longer, I mean take me almost a week to finish. Ah the halcyon days before having children. Now I look through my TBR and calculate […]
Father Earth is Angry
The Obelisk Gate picks up where The Fifth Season left off and continues the harrowing tale of survival in The Stillness when a fifth season (the season of death) is upon the land. Now we learn the stakes are higher than just survival. An ancient war has been brewing in the background for so long that not all the players are even aware one is occurring. The fifth season has fully gripped the land. Comms band together for mutual support and weaker comms fall, to […]
