Continue reading →: A Review of The Frugal Wizard’s Guide to Surviving Medieval England (and by extension, the art of the absurd)This book is… interesting to say the least. Which I suppose is a way of saying it was my least favorite story of the four Sanderson secret novels. But I still enjoyed it immensely. This was, in large part, thanks to the artwork. But also the artwork was kind of…

Continue reading →: Back at it Again at Krispy KremeAfter an adventurous summer, the Oregon air is finally cooling and with it a bunch of indoor activities (like writing!) have again become viable. Which means the blog gets updated! (Thanks, rain). Some highlights (and lowlights) of the year so far: Trying to read 50 books this year: I can’t…

Continue reading →: A Review of Tress of the Emerald Sea (and by extension, The Princess Bride)Tress of the Emerald Sea was the first book I received as part of a year of Sanderson. It arrived several months late because of issues with the printers, which was unfortunate but not the end of the world. I did appreciate Sanderson’s team sending several emails explaining the delays…

Continue reading →: A Year Of SandersonAround the tail end of the pandemic when things were starting to get back to normal, one of my friends sent me a link to this video. In it, a well-known fantasy author I was familiar with (and moderately disposed toward) appeared to be making an apology. I shrugged, planned…

Continue reading →: The Wheel of Time: A ReviewBooks 1-3: The Beginning (Side note: if you haven’t read part 1, it’s here.) I read Lord of the Rings right before launching into WoT and am glad I did. It’s hard to read fantasy without seeing Tolkien’s influence, but WoT feels almost like a new world in an adjacent…

Continue reading →: Some Book Hot Takes 9/27/2021I’ve been burning through books lately (it’s a metaphor don’t worry) which is coincidentally one of my favorite things to do. I never would have started writing if not for my love of reading. Though I’m a sucker for fantasy and sci-fi, I’ll pick up any free-roaming literature that wanders…

My state survived the summer without too much of it burning down (so far). Hurray. Fall has arrived and with it the delight of rain (not sarcasm by the way) which comes with hot…
