This book did nothing to soothe me extremely complex range of feelings about the Avatar universe and films, but did at least allow me to experience them with more granularity

The setting goes to wild extremes to maintain a vision of the RDA as an almo

Natural artefacts form negative space in the image, so many clouds, fumes and dust-sweeps across the page. Even the air is deeply textured, nothing is only one colour but a field itself for the gradations of light. Shadows in the dust and on the floo ...more

Interceptor City by Dan Abnett

Honestly a *very good* book requiring a HIGH level of writing skill, with only a handful of mildly annoying Abnetty flourishes.

My main and really only irritation is that 'Interceptor City' has a meta sub-plot about the pulpy 'Glory Stories' enjoyed b

Great comic. Re-read. My friend hated the colouring so much it made her want to throw up :-(

Quotes by Patrick Stuart  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Then Viol Chrime-Forgot and Sir Duno Chrime held each other tightly and wept sweet tears and Sir Duno Chrime swore that he did not care if his squire was a little strange and that he would never abandon him again so long as he lived and Viol Chrime-Forgot said he did not care if Duno Chrime was old, or mad or thought that he was made of glass, for he would never be apart from him again no matter what adventure fell, and though neither could hear each other over the roaring of the endless falls, or see each others tears for the misty dripping of the cave each knew what the other said and meant, and so they were friends again and remained so for as long as they both lived.”
Patrick Stuart, False Readings

“Kulwar Wolters, a gloved man I suspect to be a Cliothaum, can and could be anywhere.

Cliothaumy’s an illegal skill, rare and hard to learn. It lets you burn memory to twist the world in certain ways. The more you use it, the less you know why. Magic never gives you anything back, there’s always a trick. Kulwar Wolters used it rarely, if at all. But his fingertips were burnt, I think.”
