![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Seriously, we have enough of those, stop complaining. Tanjiro is a hardworking, generous, kind, and great main character and I wish more people were accepting of his character just because he isn't the generic "punk with a soft side" main character like a LOT of shounen series. I love my little group of dysfunctional idiots, never change. I also think it would be fun to start a drinking game where you take a shot every time Zenitsu starts shouting because you'd be passed out in a heartbeat. I am curious to see how Gotouge is going to continue to top Zenitsu's freak outs because they just get better and better. Really quick, I did like Iguro constantly lying on his stomach, even while subduing Tanjiro, which is reminiscent of snakes and speaks to his specialty as a Hashira. Gotouge has done a good job endearing me to his characters so I have no doubt at least half of the Hashira will be more interesting as time goes on. Going off of that, the Hashira members are pretty uninteresting everyone has one personality trait (aside from Tomioka and Shinobu) but I'm sure they'll be flushed out at some point. Wow, six volumes in and we're finally meeting the highest ranking Demon Corps members? Not bad, not bad. Can we get more tiny Nezuko? Please? I want to see more tiny Nezuko, she's so precious. ![]() My scattered thoughts regarding this volume: ![]()

More than just the novelty of Annabeth and Sadie meeting and working together to kick divine butt, what I really liked about “The Staff of Serapis” was how Riordan was able to connect the Greek and Egyptian mythologies using a god that was worshiped in Greek-controlled Alexandria. When I reviewed “The Son of Sobek”, I commented that these Percy Jackson / Kane Chronicles crossovers were cool but might not fly because the Greek and Egyptian worlds that Riordan created were too different. ![]() ![]() Review Summary: A more cohesive, more imaginative, and mythologically richer crossover than “The Son of Sobek”, but still too formulaic. In this adventure, Annabeth encounters more oddities in the subway than usual, including a two-headed monster and a younger blond girl who reminds her a little of herself. THE STAFF OF SERAPIS (Percy Jackson and Kane Chronicles Crossover #2) ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments Rj palacio![]() ![]() I worked on a first draft of it about eight years ago, and I spent two years on it. PALACIO: My son had a very, very vivid dream about a kid in the Old West with a half-red face, and I was like, that’s a really good image. RACHEL SIMON: This book is such a departure from your previous work in the Wonder universe. ![]() Speaking to Shondaland from her home in New York, where she wrote Pony and rode out the pandemic alongside her husband and two sons, Palacio opened up about her decision to leave Wonder behind, her process as a writer, and the years-long journey to create Pony that was as dramatic as the book itself. And don’t let the age of its protagonist fool you just like Wonder, Palacio’s latest book tells a story that will feel just as affecting and compulsively readable to preteens as to 30-year-olds, which is exactly what its author had in mind when she first set out to write it nearly a decade ago. Part Western, part magical realism, part coming-of-age tale, Pony is a novel unlike all others. Accompanied by his longtime companion, a ghost named Mittenwool, and the titular pony, who shows up at his door after his father is taken, Silas embarks on a quest to find his dad - and along the way encounters enough obstacles, mysteries, and close shaves to fill, well, a 285-page book. Set in the mid-1800s, just before the Civil War, Pony follows 12-year-old Silas, whose beloved father is kidnapped for reasons unknown to our hero. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments The Dark Age by Traci Harding![]() But Ashlee is not a girl who likes to bow to the inevitable - she has plans of her own.
