I had high hopes to finish this review yesterday, but I had one of my “bad days”, which is fitting in a totally weird, Bloggess way. My bad days are the days where my depression and anxiety win and my emotions take a fun ride to Overwhelming Sadness Valley, Rage Inducing Irritability Town and Petrified by Intrusive Thoughts Commonwealth. I am cursed with dysthymia, which is a.) a genus of moth, b.) a form of chronic depression (but ONLY MILD depression, if you are judgy Google) and […]
Welcome to Godhood, Hopefully You’ll Have Some Style
When I first picked up the Mistborn series, I didn’t know I was signing up for the Brandon Sanderson pyramid scheme subscription plan. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, because I do love his writing, but his ouevre is extensive and, as far as I know, I am mortal and will someday not even finish a tenth of the books in my library. The Hero of Ages does tie up Vin and Elend’s side of the story (I believe, things were left a […]
The Star Wars, Like The Facebook and The Netflix
In some parallel dimension, there’s a world that was cursed with this, George Lucas’s original screenplay for Star Wars. And as much as the prequels sucked in this dimension, this pulpy SciFi Star Wars may actually be worse. It’s hard to look at this book objectively, either. There are ghosts of the iconic Star Wars that we all know (and love!). The “you’ll be dead” dialogue from the Tatooine cantina is almost verbatim the same, but the characters and circumstances are different. Ever get a […]
No More Will My Green Sea Go Turn a Deeper Blue
I’m very curious, but not ghoulish enough to dig, but I speculate that Janet Fitch was either raised by a narcissist or married one or something. Between this one and White Oleander, she sure does know a lot about people lacking empathy. Also like White Oleander, this one is isn’t a feel-good book by any means. Josie Tyrell escaped her white trash family and small town life to be the Edie Sedgwick of the 80’s punk scene in Los Angeles. Her bohemian lifestyle lead her […]
Why Two Years?
I’m still not sure if I like this one or not, but I’m definitely intrigued by this new series. Sometimes I’m okay with the author taking a sink or swim approach for the reader; either you’ll pick up the story as it goes along or you’ll spend too much time stressing the details and give up in frustration. It usually depends on the author, with the right one, I feel like I at least have someone in a rowboat encouraging me to press on. But […]
Just Rub Salt in the Wounds Next Time, Guys, It Would Hurt Less
If you thought Saga was a dark and heartbreaking comic before, you may just want to stop at Volume 4. Usually, after finishing a volume of Saga, I like to leaf through the pages again and relive my favorite scenes. This one left me needing a hug and kitten gifs. So, obligatory spoiler warning. Seriously, there will be spoilers. So don’t complain if something gets spoiled here. You would think, after the cliffhanger in the last volume, that the eventual reuniting of Marko and Alana […]
