Sort of Super V02 The Magma Cup by Eric Gapstur

by Leave a Comment

They tell me that I am an adult. At least, physically. Mentally? Well that’s totally up for debate. And this is never more plain than when I read a book like Sort of Super V02 The Magma Cup by Eric Gapstur. I have read and reviewed volume one, and do recommend reading the first volume well, first as a lot of book two is a continuation from one, however, with a lot of new goodies as well.  A quick summary of book one: Wyatt Flynn […]

Outside of their comfort zone

Haru: Book 1: Spring by Joe Latham

by Leave a Comment

Haru: Book 1: Spring by Joe Latham is a fantasy story with the fantasy elements of adventure. There is a ghost mother, a cursed artifact, and magical and magical-like situations. We also have a coming of age aspect with the bullying Haru faces at school. Then there is the character The Dark. It is creepy AF. But also, due to the way Latham has created it, it can be seductive, or at least is (pick one or all that fit), beautiful, romantic, dark, scary, creepy, […]

The Horizon Volume One by jh

by Leave a Comment

I was cleaning up old online reader copy links the other day and I said, “Self, let’s try The Horizon Volume one.” So, I did (though it is currently available).  Of course, I did not realize it was volume one (I have a habit of doing that) and just thought it was around 300 pages of a dystopian artistic graphic novel. And it was. Only the ending has a cliffhanger ending that made me say, “WHAT THE FLAMING MONKEY TOOTS??”  How did that happen? I […]

Five Nights at Freddy’s V01 The Silver Eyes by Scott Cawthon and Kira Breed-Wrisley

Five Nights at Freddy’s V02 The Twisted Ones by Scott Cawthon and Kira Breed-Wrisley

by Leave a Comment

I am not a Five Nights at Freddy’s fan. I picked up a graphic novel a few years ago because I was curious about what it was about, but found out later that it was not the “real Freddy” but Goosebump-like stories about things that were spooky. Then recently, I picked up Five Nights at Freddy’s V02 The Twisted Ones in graphic novel form. Of course, I picked up book two and not one, but I thought since I knew I had read something  that […]

The Book of Ile-Rien by Martha Wells

by Leave a Comment

The Book of Ile-Rien collects the first two books in Martha Wells’ Ile-Rien universe, which takes place in a fantasy world with a steampunk flavor. Though I have the much-lauded Murderbot series on my TBR, I have never read any of Wells’ work before. The Element of Fire is her debut, and when this book crossed my dashboard I thought it’d be a decent place to start. The Element of Fire – 3.5 stars The return of the king’s bastard sister to the court of […]
