The sibling bond

The Firelight Apprentice by Bree Paulsen

November 7, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Due to the rushed ending, The Firelight Apprentice by Bree Paulsen is a 3.5 and not a 4. However, it is Paulsen and I like the books  I have read out of three I know they have written and illustrated.  The first was Garlic and the Vampire, and the second is The Firelight Apprentice. I have Garlic and the Witch waiting for me. (And to get it out of the way, all graphic novels are now currently available but I read this via an online […]

Dogs slobber! They smell! They POOP! And they bark!

Dog Trouble by Kristin Varner

November 6, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Dog Trouble by Kristin Varner came up in my older online reader copies. I was at first not thinking I would read as I am a cat, not dog person, and the cover made me think I knew what was going to happen (a lot of chasing rowdy dogs that really aren’t cute but annoying and a kid who doesn’t “get” the seriousness of things). But it was more than that. At first things felt like “all the other books” about separated and/or divorced families […]

Taverns have ale flowing, wenches are wenching and pirates pirating.

Sea of Thieves by Jeremy Whitley

Sea of Thieves: Origins Volume One by Jeremy Whitley

Sea of Thieves: Origins: Champion of Souls by Jeremy Whitley

November 5, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I started with Sea of Thieves: Sea Dog’s Search illustrated by Rhoald Marcellius. Though it says it has issues one to three, it was actually after the no added title, Sea of Thieves. We meet our main pirate twins, their friends, frenemies and a possible lover or two or three…. Here we build up the story of all the characters we find in the second book (or the main ones) and we learn about a few creatures and events. However, you needed Sea of Thieves: […]

Taxi Ghost by Sophie Escabasse

October 16, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I had been interested in Taxi Ghost by Sophie Escabasse for a while. I lost my online reader copy, so I went to the library instead. It still looked interesting, but also looking more closely at the cover I thought it also looked like it was going to be an odd book. The ghosts are in the car, the main character out front, standing there like she’s the best driver in the world, and ready for adventures. Well it turns out that she might not […]

I had high hopes, but they didn’t fly as far as I wanted… still a good book

Teen Titans: Starfire by Kami Garcia

October 15, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Teen Titan story continues as we find our Starfire and Cyborg to round out the team in Kami Garcia and Gabriel Picolo’s fifth book, Teen Titans: Starfire. As much as I have enjoyed the series, this might be the weakest volume so far. It probably was because I had such high expectations for it. While I knew a little about the Robins (Dick and Damian) I wasn’t versed in Teen Titans. The first three graphic novels were good as I got to learn about […]
