Paladin's Grace by T. Kingfisher

by 1 Comment

CBR17 Bingo: Purple (most of the cover, barring the cover image, is a lovely lavender purple) Stephen is one of the paladins of the Saint of Steel (who was a god, despite the name), who died very suddenly and unexpectedly a few years back. No one thought gods could die, and a lot of his paladins killed themselves and caused massive amounts of damage when it happened. Now, Stephen and the six other paladins who remain are housed at the Temple of the White Rat […]

The Search for Gluscap (Adventures of the Pugulatmu’j) Volume 2 by Brandon Mitchell, Kielamel Sibal and Veronika Barinova

by Leave a Comment

The Search for Gluscap (Adventures of the Pugulatmu’j) is volume two in the series. They are both written by Brandon Mitchell, Kielamel Sibal (letterer), and Veronika Barinova (illustrator). This book assumes you have read the first volume (Giju’s Gift), so I do recommend reading it first. But I have not read book one, but I am curious how the characters are introduced as we have a Native girl and a spiritual being that will guide us along who we are already supposed to know the […]

D&D by any other name will still be D&D

The Last Session Vol. 2: Rerolled by Jasmine Walls

by Leave a Comment

The Last Session Vol. 2: Rerolled  by Jasmine Walls,  Micah Myers (letterer), Dozerdraws (illustrator) This volume is similar to volume one (The Last Session Vol. 1: Roll for Initiative) with different characters (which is just like a good roleplaying game). The concept is not new (learning to work with each other, speaking up, finding yourself, helping the community, being a good role model) but still is fun and a good read. Bold illustrations fit the story and it is a good read for someone who […]

Emma & Capucine, Volume 1 by Jérôme Hamon and Lena Sayaphoum

by Leave a Comment

While I enjoyed reading the two parts that are inclined in  Emma & Capucine, Volume 1 by Jérôme Hamon and Lena Sayaphoum, I was not able to be WOWed by it. There is nothing new to the events or thoughts happening. However, it is still a nice coming of age story Part One. We deal with growing apart from an older sibling, dealing with a dream not happening, finding new dreams, parents learning to support rather than push for themselves, and jealousy. There are at […]

Not that I need it, but I have a subscription to Silver Sprocket comics/books…..

Witch Hazel: Variety Hour by Colton Fox and Beige Blum

by Leave a Comment

I have a subscription to Silver Sprocket books. I need to pause and/or cancel as I have so many books from them and I just cannot keep up! But I did get a chance to read Witch Hazel: Variety Hour by Colton Fox and Beige Blum. When I opened the package, stickers and a few postcard items fell out. There was a Witch Hazel poster and another book. I was amused at the fact that the book was in a comic book style, but was […]

Covenant V01 by LySandra Vuong

by Leave a Comment

When I saw Covenant advertised I was not sure if I wanted to read it. One, it was a graphic novel and I’ll read almost anything when it comes to those. But two, it was a fantasy and I’m so-so when it comes to that. Three, it was about religion and I am not usually in the mood for that (unless I am). And four, it was LGBTQ, and for the longest time I was not in the mood for a LGBTQ and religion book. […]
