What are they, why are they here, what purpose do they serve ? I summarily review the second volume of Apocalypse Mania. (Read the rest of the review here.)
Beam me up, Jacob.
Is it the end or the beginning of something new ? (Read the rest of the review here.)
In the future all of our conversations will be in 80’s movie quotes
Armada is a summer blockbuster in book form. It’s entertaining, it moves fast, and it’s a fun ride. It’s also not nearly as smart as it thinks it is. Armada walks the line between “homage” and “rip off” on a razor wire. To be honest I’m still not sure which side it ultimately falls on but I’m leaning strongly toward rip off. Aliens are invading Earth and only a group of clandestinely trained gamers can save us. Sound familiar? The X-Files tells us “The truth […]
Cheeky shape-changing sociopathic sidekick and roguish one-armed villain will worm their way into your heart.

Aza Ray is sick, so sick that they named her disease after her. The problem is that her body doesn’t breathe in air properly. Aza isn’t one of those saintly sick kids, though. She’s angry and snarky and I just love her. She spends all her time with her childhood BFF Jason, and they are adorable, from alligator suits to giant squid videos.
