Okay, first of all, what the hell has been going on in Fables while I’ve been away? Shit is MESSED UP. Second of all, this was way more of a Fables story than it was an Unwritten story, and it was a clunky Fables story at that. I haven’t checked in with Fables in years, and the last one I read was Vol. 6, Homelands. That ended in a very, very different place than this one began in, but it’s not hard to get into the […]
Don’t look back.
This is only the second volume in The Unwritten series to get less than five stars from me, but I think that might be only a preference thing. This is still a great piece of this story. It was just missing a little oomph for me. I’ve got to save my five star ratings for the oomph. Which is silly, because this was chock full of unbelievably cool things. Little stuff paid off from some of the very first issues. Everything ties together. Stuff happened that […]
Let’s get (meta)physical.
I am so unbelievably glad that this particular volume of this series exists. Like, it wasn’t necessary that Carey and Gross write it, and you don’t HAVE to read it if you’re making your way through the series, but oh man, you’re missing out if you don’t! So this graphic novel–which, unlike the rest of The Unwritten, was released as one trade paperback, no individual issues–is two things. First, it’s the story of how Wilson Taylor came to create both his son and his first […]
I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love*
I don’t read a lot of Fantasy novels. It’s not because I don’t like them. Fantasy is one of those genres that I enjoy when I accidentally start reading it but, when I go looking for it, I have a hard time deciding what to read. The genre is just so HUGE, and there are so many different series, and I don’t want to waste my time on ones I might not enjoy, but how do I know which I WILL enjoy without actually reading […]
But Where is Red Going?
In a world where people are sorted according to their skin/hair/eye colours (but like, even worse than in ours, obviously), Reds belong to the servant/slave class, forced to work underground to mine gasses needed to terraform the solar system and improve the lot of all the rest of the colours. Disobedience is punished swiftly, as Darrow learns early on, but a terrorist group called the Sons of Ares saves him and transforms him into a Gold, the ruling class, hoping to set the stage for […]
Wicked After Midnight
As a long time Pajiba reader (but never commentor, always lurker) I remember AlabamaPink’s charm and wit and was saddened by the world’s loss when she passed. As a parent of an 8 and 4 year old, my to read pile is ever increasing at a steady rate as I don’t seem to have the time to read that I once did. This year I have decided to read more, and justify all the books I buy, and figured the Cannonball Read would be a […]
