In short: a promising start. My most recent read proved to the above — The Silverblood Promise, by James Logan — and my general opinion is that it was fine. I’d say my analysis of the book is perhaps a bit harsher than most, because a lot of my criticisms Read more…
Warning! Out of context spoilers for an unnamed book. If you know, you know.And if you do know, gotta say it was a great ride. One of the best series I read last year. If I can get my Ramblings schedule in gear, I’ll get around to it at some Read more…
Greetings and salutations, friends! Sorry for the delay, but I’m here to finish out my read along of A Night in the Lonesome October. I wish I had a good excuse for why I’ve been absent so long, but really it’s all on me. I basically got a taste for Read more…
Alright! Another night, another chapter and back into the usual swing of one per post. I find this chapter particularly interesting from a personal experience perspective. In the first place, it is a very fun chapter because it serves as the culmination of a long built-up piece of the story. Read more…
So I’ve explained mostly what the deal is here — I was sick last week with a stomach bug and couldn’t update — and thus I’ll keep this brief. I’m updating all of last week’s chapters tonight along with tonight’s, so just go through one by one. I’ll try to Read more…
This is another of the somewhat calm chapters — almost like the ‘nice to be domestic’ vibe from a few chapters before, but in an entirely different sense. It has none of the relief from that chapter and in fact that the players are taking one last night to let Read more…
This chapter follows right on the previous night’s heels and keeps things interesting with the first on-screen fatality of the story. And a murder that’s all the more interesting because of the inherent intrigue involved in it — that it’s intended as much to frame one of the players as Read more…
This chapter is an exciting one because it introduces handily the main antagonist in the form of the Vicar. And I’m confident calling the Vicar the main antagonist, even for a first time reader, because his actions and attitude make it very clear he’ll be getting in the way of Read more…
This one’s hardly even a chapter. Just a mere one pager. But like Snuff says, sometimes it’s nice to be domestic. And in any case, it is a good chapter in what it accomplishes in its short span. In the first place, it acts as — to my memory — Read more…
A nice short chapter tonight — or rather last night, since this one came late as a result of maintenance. But it’s certainly fun because it showcases the Great Detective as we’d expect him and in a realistic sense. It shows that Snuff is recognizable enough to be recognized by Read more…
