6/29/2023 0 Comments Discworld night watch seriesThe level of controversy around this new adaptation is unusual. Here’s the problem though: if you are a fan of Pratchett’s Discworld books, on which the show is (very loosely) based, you’ll spend most of your first watch-through scratching your head in confusion. It’s genuinely funny, well-acted, and well-made, even if it does have an obviously-television-sized CGI budget. Let’s say one thing first and foremost: if you’ve never read any of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books, and you like quirky, funny SFF television, you’ll probably enjoy BBC America’s new show The Watch. This article has been kept as spoiler-free as possible, but since it discusses differences between the Discworld books and The Watch TV show, there will be discussion of changes to characters and setting, and some vague allusions to plot.

6/29/2023 0 Comments Evertrue by brodi ashtonMy review: Everneath My review: Everbound In this stunning conclusion to the Everneath trilogy, Brodi Ashton evokes the resiliency of the human spirit and the indomitable power of true love.

I know the stories of the 4 legged and the winged ones. I haven't found a place in Maryland to connect with that again. I went to South Dakota for 4 years in a row and did a vision quest and prayed on the land with the people. I have prayed with the people and for the land. It's dreamlike and it takes me back to my days in the sweat lodges. The artwork is swirls of water and beautiful blue tones. They are stewards of the land and that fits right in with the bible which tells us we are stewards of the land as well. The story is about this girl and her village and the important of all the water, land and animals. The serpent is oil pipes that crisscross our land and leak. They are told to protect the water and one day a black serpent will come to poison the water and they must protect against this serpent. She tells of the stories told to the people of the land. The author wrote this after the incident at Standing Rock happened with the water and the oil pipe. This is one of those books that feels written for me. 6/29/2023 0 Comments Warrior Mine by Megan MitchamWhen Callum's strong arms fortify them and keep them all from falling apart, Jillian's inner struggle reaches a breaking point. While she spins in dizzying circles, the girls she's loved since they were in their momma's belly cling to her. The world crumbling call came in the form of a single car, single fatality accident. As an orphan and an Explosive Ordinance Tech with the Navy, things have a way of crashing down around her. Still, it manages to make her awkward around her only family Amery, Callum, and their two stunning daughters. Revolted by her own mind and loyal to a fault, she refuses to give the dream life. Jillian Cooper never wanted Callum, until a dream morphs him from her best friend's husband to a singular nocturnal fantasy. From New York Times best-selling author Cristin Harber and USA Today best-selling author Megan Mitcham comes an exciting collaboration. I won’t tell you who they are, you’ll need to come to the show to learn that.īLADE: With “Pose,” the time and place were very specific. Time wise, it’s set in “now/until.” The central character is a gay man who anchors the play and the others are various characters he finds on his hero journey.

But all her striving leaves Fred on the outside looking in. Fred can't quite bring himself to accept all his son's choices, yet Paulette is determined McKinley will want for nothing, least of all a mother's love and attention-which her own skin color cost her as a child. McKinley makes it no secret that he doesn't intend to follow in his father's footsteps at George & Company Fine Furnishings or otherwise. When their son returns home, his visit dredges up even more conflict between Fred and Paulette. Their only son, McKinley, now works hundreds of miles away, and the distance between the husband and wife feels even farther. Paulette and Fred Baldwin find themselves wading through a new season of life in Hickory Grove, North Carolina. Pearson comes a new Southern family drama about one family who discovers their history is only skin-deep and that God's love is the only family tie that binds. City of Broken Magic is the story of an emergency response unit, and in narrative and stylistic terms, it feels one part thriller, one part procedural, and one part professional coming-of-age for its viewpoint character. The novel’s worldbuilding, in the form of infestations and the social response to it, is its big idea. The people who do this job are known as “Sweepers,” and their mortality rate can be high… These infestations, as they’re known, are extremely dangerous and require specialised knowledge and equipment to combat. They succeeded a little too well, creating something that can hatch from broken or empty magical amulets and that can consume everything in its path. Hundreds of years before the novel’s beginning, a colonised people tried to fight back against their colonisers by creating a weapon that ate magic. Liz Bourke at Tor.com summarized it nicely:Ĭity of Broken Magic sets itself in a secondary fantasy world where humans live huddled into well-defended cities. I liked the premise quite a bit - a city in which a understaffed bomb squad must deal with leathly deadly weapons left over from a long-forgotten war. I found Mirah Bolender’s debut novel City of Broken Magic waiting for me when I got home from the World Fantasy Convention last year. 6/28/2023 0 Comments Batman marv wolfmanHours before! ( Laughter) At least an hour before. We were going to a convention in either Philadelphia or Pittsburgh-I don’t remember which at this particular point-that afternoon and because I’m always early I got to the train station before everyone else did. And I wrote, as an answer to it, “Yeah, one of these days we should fix that.” Then I headed out… I was writing the letter column and some fan-whose name I can’t think of at the moment but generally can-wrote a letter saying DC continuity makes no sense. ( Laughter)īut, I was the writer of Green Lantern. But it’s totally true or I’ve been so consistent in my lying it’s beyond belief. I think people think I just made that up, I don’t know. Marv Wolfman: People ask that and it still stuns me because on the inside front cover of the first issue, and it’s been reprinted in every single reprint, I actually explained all that.
