Star Wars: Exploring Tatooine - An Illustrated Guide by Riley Silverman

April 30, 2023 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

When the first Star Wars movie came out in May 1977, I was 8 years old. I don’t know why I went to see it. I was horrifying my parents with my love of Charlie’s Angels (I remember nothing about the plots, only the hair and the costumes). I was entirely earthbound. But somehow I saw the movie and fell in love. My friends and I went from playing Charlie’s Angels to playing Charlie’s Angels in Star Wars (still horrifying my parents with that) because […]

It's Called A Flush by Deniigiq

Flush: Chatlog by Deniigiq

April 28, 2022 by NTE Leave a Comment

My brother is an OG-we-had-the-Darth-Vadar-Cases-for-our-action-figures Star Wars fan. One of the only things my brother says he will never forgive my mom for is falling asleep in the theater when she watched A New Hope for the first time: In her defense, she was 16, and leaving the house childless for the first time since my brother was born, so she was pretty tired. She remembers the words crawling up the screen, a ship, and that’s all folks. New moms everywhere can understand. I know […]

The Fall of Babel by Josiah Bancroft

February 19, 2022 by LittlePlat Leave a Comment

  In my previous review of Josiah Bancroft’s The Hod King,   the third instalment in the Books of Babel series, I mentioned that due to its darker tone and shocker of a cliffhanger, the third book appeared to be ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ of Thomas Senlin’s story.  So now that I’ve read that The Fall of Babel, the final instalment in the series, can I say that this is Bancroft’s ‘Return of the Jedi?’ Not, really, no. I have to confess that with this last […]

A path to broken stars by stellardarlings

November 30, 2021 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

Hmm I didn’t even realize it until I started writing reviews but this is, actually, the third Beauty and the Beast retelling I read in a row. What can I say? It is clearly my favorite type of fairy tale, imprinted upon me due to my youthful love of the Disney classic. When your other choices are “sleeps for the best parts (x2),” “wears a shoe,” “gives up her entire world for the dude,” it’s not surprising that Belle “I read and yell back and […]

“The Resistance was the kiss of death, to friends and allies alike.”

Resistance Reborn by Rebecca Roanhorse

November 26, 2021 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

The reading experience of Resistance Reborn is a story of two halves for me. I enjoyed Rebecca Roanhorse’s writing, I find the way she uses a sparring amount of words to build a mood, and from a mood a setting to be incredibly effective, which I’ve enjoyed from her before. On the other hand, though, I wasn’t floored by the actual story covered within the pages of this book. Broadly, in this novel, Poe Dameron, General Leia Organa, Rey, and Finn struggle to rebuild the […]

The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher

October 27, 2021 by narfna Leave a Comment

I see why this book is so much lower rated than her other two memoirs. It’s kind of scattered, and half of it is devoted to her affair with Harrison Ford, which isn’t told in a juicy manner but in a self-reflecting one, and the diaries that detailed her experience of that affair. I get why she wanted to tell this story herself; she wanted to control the narrative. It’s just . . . not super fun to read about. My favorite parts of this […]
