Honestly, I have very little to say about this chapter. Much like yesterday’s it’s another one of those relaxing lull chapters that mostly just retreads old ground and furthers some subplots in a way that confirms a bit about some characters. And not in a bad way either. It’s good Read more…
This chapter isn’t terribly exciting. I mean, it’s still entertaining to read because it touches on a lot of small tidbits, but nothing hugely important happens. With that being said, I think that’s part of what makes it nice since it is a little bit of a step back and Read more…
Now this chapter has another rather important introduction with Larry Talbot. Much like Bubo, he’s a character worth paying attention to simply because of how unorthodox he is. Even as this chapter states, he’s kind of a player, but kind of not and that middle ground place he occupies puts Read more…
This chapter’s a bit fun for a couple of reasons. And the first of the longer chapters where things really start picking up. As for the fun little things, the first of which is the little introduction scene of snuff and Jack’s stalking for the day since it’s another of Read more…
So this chapter is a bit wonky. On the one hand, it introduces a large part of the mystery of the story in the pattern around which the center of the Game is formed. This is important from a narrative perspective because it means Snuff spends a lot of his Read more…
This is a point at which, in inspecting the previous chapters along with this one, a broad description becomes somewhat bland. On the face of it, this is another chapter that jus accounts a few introductions and confirmations; it follows up on the pawprint and howl as well as first Read more…
This chapter is fun mostly because of what it hints at. Admittedly I can see it being fairly uninteresting on a first read, but there are some very important things hinted at. For perhaps the least exciting, the introduction of Cheeter and Owen (though he isn’t named yet) is mostly Read more…
This chapter is rather interesting because it’s the first time the terminology of the Game proper is used. The chapter itself is fairly uneventful; mostly just a few pieces of administrative work, so to speak. It introduces Needle, and by extension the Count who one can make assumptions on given Read more…
Ah, chapter 2. A rather important one because it introduces our deuteragonist — even moreso than Jack — in Graymalk. I enjoy this chapter because I like Gray, in part because I’m more of a cat person than a dog person, but also because it’s vitally important as this first Read more…
Hello, hello! Today’s the first day of October and you know what that means: time to start on ‘A Night in the Lonesome October’. And so we have the first chapter… and the prologue which I forgot about. So to start off, we have the prologue. And I must say, Read more…
