A Civilands Series Sea Shanty: “The Keagan Anthem”

The above song is based on the melody to the Wellerman (Sea Shanty). All lyrics and vocals are my own.

Fun sequel to the first book! I like that the style of story telling was a bit different. More of a single narrative where the first one was a collection of different stories. This made it feel like its own while still retaining the sequel feel. A ni ...more

Tales of American Idiocy is a well-written read which is an allegorical satire on various topics of our time. Following along animal characters who have their own relations to the American idiots in question makes for an entertaining dynamic. Chester ...more

This is 2.5/5 for me because it’s slightly better than Dune: Messiah, which I gave a 2. Where it was better for me is the clarity of the plot was mostly better and so was the character drama. The conflicts between them and twists there are far more in ...more

This should’ve been book #3 and book #2 should’ve been the Holy War this book skips over. Very unfortunate that was all skipped and makes the “fool saint” narrative a big reach. Also the dialogue and story telling are very pretentious in this book.
