I Promise to Blog More Often & Other Lies–Part X

Saga, Volume 12 by Brian K. Vaughan & Fiona StaplesQuick-look at the Book

I don’t know where this series is going anymore. They killed off a major character some issues ago, which was a big turn off. And now the plot seems scattered, and the foreshadowing keeps hinting on darker things to come.

Thoughts on the Series

Beautiful art. Strong representation. And just out of this world (literally) story about star-crossed lovers and how they fare in a world at war. My advice? Read t...

Slavery has reached Ghana, and some of its own people are complicit in selling their countrymen to the white foreigners. This novel gives you a glimpse of how that decision changed the lives of the ones doing the selling and the sold.

Thoughts on this Book

Unlike Blood Slaves, this book doesn’t dwell on the indignities and cruelties faced by the enslaved. But neither does it gloss it over and still, the events broke my heart over and ...

I Promise to Blog More Often & Other Lies–Part VIII

Necessary Evil by Ian TregillisThoughts on this Book

Sadly, it has been a while and I don’t remember much about this one. That said, Gretel, the main villain, had one of the saddest backstories and once you know that, you see her in a new light.

Marsh, the protag, time travels to the past, and tries to save an alternate version of earth from the evil Cthulhu-like powerful beings, who have destroyed his own version. UK’s warlocks have been tapping into powers from another dimension ...

Quick-look at the Book

Mina, the female MC, is called to solve a murder. She’s recently married the Iron Duke, a man with um… separation anxiety issues. So, will he be able to let her do her job?

Sadly, I don’t remember the specifics–it has been a while. But at least, you get to enjoy my:

Thoughts on the Series

This series is a shining example of the UF-era from back in 2012, etc. While it differentiates itself from many other series with elements of steampunk and alternate histo...

I Promise to Blog More Often & Other Lies–Part III

Quick-look at the Book

Natalie takes on mythical characters this time, including the city of Pompeii.

Thoughts on this Book

Even people who have loved and read the heck out of ancient myths will get something out of this book. Besides looooving the openly feminist reinterpretation, for instance, I learned about Penthesilea, the queen of Amazons, who went toe to toe with none other than Achilles! You’ll have to read how that went yourself.

Also, what are you waiting for? Listen here ...

I Promise to Blog More Often & Other Lies–Part II

Quick-look at the Book

Our heroine hasn’t seen the love interest after he walked away at the end of the first book. Now, he’s missing, and has left her a cryptic message, telling her not to follow him. But does she listen?

Thoughts on this Book

I love how the author treats the setting almost like an important character. For instance, besides the description of the landscape, we know it’s the reason the Diné survived an apocalypse. It also rubs our heroine the wrong way when she has ...
