Star Scouts V03 The Invasion of the Scuttlebots by Mike Lawrence

by Leave a Comment

Due to having read this third book in the Star Scouts series several months (if not closer to a year) apart, there were a few things I had forgotten from the previous two (mostly it was names of some of the scouts and embarrassingly, one character altogether). However, it is easy to pick back up as The Invasion of the Scuttlebots is not overly complicated. It is a delightful story of friendship, scouting and aliens that Mike Lawrence has created. The galactic friendships between a […]

Steel Prince conclusion

Shades of Magic: The Steel Prince vol. 3 - The Rebel Army by V.E. Schwab (author), Andrea Olimpieri (artist)

by Leave a Comment

“The Steel Prince” graphic novels can be read standalone without having read the “The Shades of Magic” novels but I’m not certain how well that works as the graphic novels don’t spend time on the magic system, and magic is a vitally important part of this world setting.  Though mileage may vary, my friend was introduced to Schwab through the individual comic issues of this series and enjoyed it without prior knowledge. The Rebel Army is the final volume in V.E. Schwab’s, “The Steel Prince” […]

A high note to end this run of graphic novels

Katara and Sokka travel back home for the first time since they left the South Pole to help Aang save the world. It has been quite some time since they’ve been home, and they are shocked to see that the small little village they grew up in has been transformed to a thriving metropolis that looks very similar to the North Pole. The South Pole has been modernized, but not everyone is happy about it. Threats of mutiny and rebellion are growing. Katara, Sokka, and […]

Back at it again with another Amazon Original Series! My brain is totally fried with year-end nonsense, but this series has given me nice little breaks while going about my day-to-day chores and adventures. I didn’t need any convincing to give this collection a “go”; I love a good fairytale retell or folklore restructure- no one will ever come close to Angela Carter, but I certainly won’t leave them out in the cold! The Prince and the Troll 3/5 I know that YOU know this, but […]

A World In Which Magicians Can Also be Hackers

How Rory Thorne Destroyed the Multiverse by K. Eason

by 1 Comment

I saw a familiar cover in a bookstore, went to look at it, and realized that it was in fact the sequel of something sitting on a TBR shelf that I’d kind of forgotten about. Thus, I had to read the one I had before getting the next one because what if I didn’t like the first one? And the first one would probably be necessary to pick up and follow the new one. Thus, I took How Rory Thorne Destroyed the Multiverse off my […]

These fierce Honey Badger sisters are not meant to be underestimated

Hot and Badgered (Honey Badger Chronicles #1) by Shelly Laurenston

In a Badger Way (Honey Badger Chronicles #2) by Shelly Laurenston

by 1 Comment

Since I enjoyed Shelly Laurenston’s Call of Crows series, I started her new trilogy focused on shifters rather than Viking warriors. We got a very small peek of the shifter world in the Crow books, so I was intrigued. The Honey Badger Chronicles follows the misadventures of three sisters who can’t seem to stay out of trouble. I fell in love with these feisty shifter women almost instantly. I thought the Crow warrior women were intense and uncouth, but these fierce sisters are fearless AF […]
