“Wouldn’t it be dreadful if some day in our own world, at home, men start going wild inside, like the animals here, and still look like men, so that you’d never know which were which.”

Prince Caspian (The Chronicles of Narnia, #4) by C.S. Lewis

October 22, 2021 by narfna 2 Comments

This book was always my favorite of the series. Something about the kids coming back to Narnia only a year later, but it having been hundreds, maybe thousands of years in the meantime, and their former castle of Cair Paravel now a ruin they have to unearth, and the quest to reclaim Narnia from ill-doers was just so very appealing to me as a kid and young adult. A large part of my affection for it still exists in the many, many re-reads I did […]

Things are not always what they seem (Double Bingo)

The King of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner

October 22, 2021 by Malin Leave a Comment

4.5 stars CBR13 Bingo: Landscape Costis is one of the Attolian guards, fiercely loyal to his beloved (if fearsome) queen and skeptical and disdainful of his so-called king, the former Thief of Eddis, who through trickery and guile ended up married to their queen. Nevertheless, when he foolishly loses his temper and ends up striking the king in the face, he’s mortified and expects to be sent home in disgrace if he’s lucky, executed if he’s unlucky. Yet the strange, new young king surprises everyone, […]

So is the devil a bad guy or not? Do I even care?

Slewfoot by Brom

October 22, 2021 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

BINGO – The Wilds We all know this story: Puritan community in the Northeast turns on a local woman accused of witchcraft because she’s different. The woman and her husband live way on the outskirts of the village practically in the woods themselves, and the entire think them both a little off. The overall set up of this novel is not new. However what sets this story apart from others is that there isn’t unfounded hysteria. The protagonist Abitha is in fact cavorting with a […]

A Whale Would Not Be the Strangest Thing in the Endless Universe – It Gets Stranger

The Dreaming, Volume 1: Pathways and Emanations by Simon Spurrier

The Dreaming, Volume 2: Empty Shells by Simon Spurrier

The Dreaming, Volume. 3: One Magic Movement by Simon Spurrier

October 21, 2021 by LittlePlat Leave a Comment

  It’s The Sandman! I love The Sandman. How did I end up putting a Sandman based property on my White Whale list? I guess The Dreaming ended up a bit on the White Whale side for two reasons: 1) When I read the original Sandman series about ten years ago, I binge read them over a few nights. This helped to both keep my immersion in the series and follow the plot. The original could be confusing as all hell at times. 2) I […]

For the night is dark, and full of terrors

Through the Woods by Emily Carroll

October 21, 2021 by Malin 1 Comment

4.5 stars CBR13 Bingo: Shelfie In five creepy stories ranging from the historical to more recent times, writer and artist Emily Carroll gives us her take on proper spine-tingling fairy tales. Accompanied by her absolutely beautiful art, the tales are all the more chilling because of the illustrations. This absolutely qualifies as a graphic novel, or probably more accurately a graphic short story (or fairy tale) anthology. Some of the stories are short, some are longer, all managed to truly unnerve me, while also entertaining […]
