When the Sequel Improves on the First, But Still Leaves Room for Improvement

Infinity Reaper by Adam Silvera

December 31, 2021 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Infinity Reaper by Adam Silvera My rating: 3 of 5 stars “Infinity Reaper” was a little better than “Infinity Son” when it comes to the characters. We are still in the same world and dealing with the same problems, but the main characters start to have more complex decisions and conflicts to navigate. One of the brothers is still obnoxious and feels really flat to me and the other brother has moments where I’m really rooting for him, only for him to fall into the […]

Harry Potter and Who Thought Up These Challenges for Kids?

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling

December 31, 2021 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling My rating: 5 of 5 stars “The Goblet of Fire” always seems to announce a darker, more mature era of Harry Potter. I starts out all fun and games until the moment Harry finds himself involved in the tournament. Then things really escalate. I like that in this book we get to see two other schools from the magical world, although I wished we got more background and knew the characters better. It does expand […]

I Wanted This To Be Better Than It Was

Infinity Son by Adam Silvera

December 31, 2021 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Infinity Son by Adam Silvera My rating: 3 of 5 stars Imagine the X-men with Phoenixes and you have “Infinity Son”. It’s a world where some people are born with mutant powers and others make themselves mutants using the blood of magical creatures like Phoenixes. There’s a brewing conflict between those that are born with these powers and those that make themselves powerful. You can imagine that those who make themselves powerful are not doing it to better society. Then there’s the regular humans who […]

Harry Potter and I Want to Take These Classes

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling

December 31, 2021 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling My rating: 5 of 5 stars It wasn’t until this read that “Prisoner of Azkaban” really stood out as one of my favorite books in the series. The film adaptation was the first that I saw and has always been one of my favorite films, but this read I really found the story engaging and saw the merit that a lot of my friends give it as one of their favorite books. One of the […]

One of the true highlights of my reading life, and now I can share it with my son!

Bone by Jeff Smith

December 31, 2021 by ingres77 6 Comments

Begun in 1991, Bone is a landmark comic book. Originally published as 55 comic books, the story was eventually gathered together in 9 graphic novels before eventually being bound in one massive 1,300 page volume in 2004. I started reading Bone in the mid-90s, and have read the entire story multiple times. It is one of my favorite books of all time. Earlier this year, my son and I started reading it, and he’s fallen in love with it just as I have. He’s six, […]

Harry Potter and Abilities vs. Choices

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling

December 31, 2021 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling My rating: 4 of 5 stars Compared to my re-reading of “The Sorcerer’s Stone”, I liked “The Chamber of Secrets a lot”. Maybe because the characters have all be established or they are a year older, I’m not sure. I just found that they weren’t as irritating to me as they were in Book 1. The movie adaptation of “Chamber of Secrets” is my least favorite out of the bunch. I find that the battle […]
