A little bit ago, I wrote a review of The Space Trilogy by C.S. Lewis. At the time, I was only halfway through the book, but now that I've finished it, I'll review the last book in the trilogy, That Hideous Strength. At first, I wasn't sure where the book was going. The first two... Continue Reading →
Blog: Author’s Voice Matters
Voice is one of the most important aspects of writing. Everyone has a unique style in their writing that distinguishes it from the works of other people. Voice in writing is created using vocabulary, different grammatical choices, and overall style (i.e. 1st-person narration, genre, etc.) For example, a book written by an author hailing from the South during the...

Blog: What Does it Mean to be a Savage?
One of the themes in Brave New World is what it truly means to be a savage. The hero of Brave New World is a character named John, who grew up on an Indian reservation in New Mexico. His mother, Linda, came from London, where the people are “civilized.” However, her idea of civilization is filled with soma (a drug that... Continue Reading →
Review: BBC Adaptations of Jane Austen are Everywhere.
By everywhere, I mean that they range from being amazing, super period accurate, and (for the most part) true to the book, or they are cringe and almost unwatchable. When I was on winter break back in December, Mom and I decided that it was a good time to binge watch the BBC adaptations of... Continue Reading →
Blog: My Views on Fantasy Have Changed.
It's been a hot minute since I last talked about the books I've written and my plans on publishing them. Part of that is since I haven't been great on working on them consistently, but another part of it is that as I've gotten older and became a Christian, I've been finding my views on...

Review: The Space Trilogy is an Interesting Look at How Temptation Works…(Spoilers)
Maybe I'm writing this a little prematurely since I'm only halfway through C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy, but I needed something to write about this week, so here we are. For those of you who didn't know, The Space Trilogy is a series that C.S. Lewis wrote after coming to an agreement with Tolkien that science... Continue Reading →
Blog/Review: Contemporary Stories are Failing Kids (And Adults)
One of the little-known facts about J.R.R. Tolkien was that he absolutely despised Disney. So great was his hatred of Disney that he described it as "vulgar," said that Walt Disney was "a cheat," and even said that, at times, the animation gave him nausea. The reason for this wasn't because he had an arbitrary... Continue Reading →
News: HBO’s Harry Potter Trailer Dropped – Has J.K. Rowling Shot Herself in the Foot?
A little bit ago, it was announced that Harry Potter was getting a reboot on HBO with a whole new cast. From the outset, people were worried but hopeful about this reboot. After all, Harry Potter is one of the most famous fandoms in history, was one of the defining points of a generation, and... Continue Reading →
Review: The Pendragon Cycle is a Terrible Show – Season Finale Review
Finally, the confusing slog that was The Pendragon Cycle is over...and I have so many questions. Overall, the visuals, music, and a few of the performances were good, but everything else was crap. I don't want to waste too much time on the intro, so let's just jump in. As I've said throughout my reviews... Continue Reading →
Review: I’ve Concluded that Herman Hess was Probably a Weird Dude – Siddhartha (Spoilers)
Welp, I need a break from writing reviews about The Pendragon Cycle. It's been five episodes and things are hardly getting better, so to keep writing reviews of each episode will pretty much be me repeating the well-established fact that it suffers from terrible pacing and incompetent writing. I will return to it either when... Continue Reading →
