R.I. McLaughlin and 5 other people liked Ivan Yatskovyna's review of King Sorrow: "I usually don’t write reviews on Goodreads, even when a book isn’t good, but this one pissed me off. Important to mention that I read only 300 pages. That was my limit. I’d heard many glowing reviews about this book from YouTubers calling it Joe Hill’" Read more of this review »

R.I. McLaughlin added a status update: King Sorrow by Joe Hill is a DNF. Just couldn’t fathom reading 600+ more pages of that. I was expecting so much better from the author of N0S4A2, one of my favorite horror novels. The characters were unlikable, the villain was laughable and his summoning felt unearned (who knew you could summon an interdimensional dragon if you just got high really high and drunk?) and the story was threadbare.

A thoroughly engrossing and masterfully crafted series full of fun and heady nostalgia. If I was to offer a critique I’d say that parts of Order of the Phoenix were a little bit of a slog but otherwise the Wizarding world of Harry Potter is one that ...more

Closer to 2.5 ⭐️. The Witcher is at its best when it’s doing more of a ‘monster of the week’ thing. Like Scooby-Doo if the monsters were real and the mystery gang brutally killed them instead of unmasking them at the end of every episode. This does a ...more
