Second verse, same as the first

Dungeon Club: Time to Party (Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Club, #2) by Molly Knox Ostertag

March 6, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I keep seeing the name Molly Knox Ostertag and I think, “Have I read them?” And I stop, think some more and say, “Yes! Oh duh! They have done….” and think about a book or two they have created. Why I can’t remember them I am not really sure. After all, they are a good author. So, I feel really bad that this name escapes me, but I assure you, you should not let Ostertag escape you! Dungeon Club: Time to Party (Dungeons & Dragons: […]

Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Club V01: Roll Call by Molly Knox Ostertag

December 26, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I started Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Club V01: Roll Call awhile back. I then put it aside as I was trying to read it online (and as you know, my phone is not friends with online formatting). Not only was my phone slow and dragging, but I was also not able to see the images clearly or in a larger format. Therefore, unless you have a SCREEN to view things on, then this might be best in the physical form. And the physical form is […]

The Dragon Prince Graphic Novel V01: Through the Moon by Peter Wartman

Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Lost Adventures by Bryan Konietzko

December 4, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, there was a girl who had two friends into a show called, The Dragon Prince. They had seen all but one season but knew this girl would love it as much as they did. And she did. A lot. (In fact, so much that she would introduce the show to her dad; who binged season three and then excitedly asked when season four was. But she had to deal with his sad, puppy eyes when she informed him that it was […]

Little Sid

February 19, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I think I would have liked this better with a less contemporary take on the subject or if it was a more realistic presentation. The story is too “how a kid and their family is today” with the language and actions of the characters. Obviously meant to grab a young reader, for the adult it could be a distraction to the story of Siddhartha. While I do not know for sure he did not have stuffed animals, somehow, I do not think he would have […]
