  • Episode: 13 – [Review] World of Warcraft: War Crimes
    Nov 22 2024

    World of Warcraft: War Crimes, what can I even say about this one?


    The novel feel like this is a bit, a joke which is funny as a concept, but does not a strong novel make. Archaic grammar aside, this one does nothing, but more damage to Warcraft's already limping credibility.


    It's not for everyone, but is it for anyone? Yes, the most die-hard WoW-fans and lore fanatics may get some kind of a kick out of this – general fantasy fans or old school Warcraft fans; you have been warned.

  • Episode: 12 – [Review] This Is Where I Leave You
    Nov 15 2024

    I don't like many movies, but I do like the movie version of This Is Where I Leave You. I decided to read the novel, and I definitely like the movie better.


    Don't get me wrong, the book is well-written, but it has a very different tone. A tone that does not sit as well with me. It's raw, that's the best way I can describe it.


    If you like that type of writing, the kind that's just a tab bit too dark, but still has some charm to it; this is for you.

  • Episode: 11 – [Review] Dark Space Universe (book 1)
    Nov 8 2024

    Dark Space Universe is an uneven novel. While it boasts great action and intriguing lore, the story loses something due to its flat, unlikable characters.


    The action is definitely the standout. The first hundred pages or so lack momentum, but once Jasper T. Scott picks up speed, he doesn’t stop.


    I should feel more mixed about this novel, but honestly, it’s fun. Dumb, but fun. We’ll see how the sequels manage to walk that line.
