I know this might offend some diehard, purist Tolkien fans, but I was raised on the Lord of the Rings movies and for most of my life, my only Tolkien knowledge came from the movies. Yes, I can hear your mixed cheers, boos, and silence. However, if you've read my review on The Silmarillion, you'll... Continue Reading →
The Screwtape Letters is a novel written by Christian apologist and author C.S. Lewis (the same dude who wrote The Chronicles of Narnia) that showcases the temptations that humans struggle with through the view of the demons doing the tempting. When I read this book toward the end of my freshman year of highschool, the... Continue Reading →
Finally, we are at the end of this trek through hell and unlike my review of Rings of Power, Rick Riordan hasn't come out with anything else set in Norse mythology so I won't have to do even more reviews of this awful series. I thank God for that small mercy. I don't think my... Continue Reading →
Rick Riordan must've had a gun to his head while writing the second book in this abysmal series with how much forced "diversity" there is. If you thought The Sword of Summer was bad, be prepared for a butt load of intersectionality politics in book 2: The Hammer of Thor that make it unreadable. I'm... Continue Reading →
2020 was a crappy year for everyone, but one of the things that made it crappy for me personally was the fact that I read the Magnus Chase trilogy. For some context, from the ages of 12-14, I was a huge Rick Riordan fan. I had all the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books, the... Continue Reading →
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen deserves every bit of praise that it has gotten. Published in 1813, Pride and Pejudice is the 2nd most read book in Britian, beating out even Harry Potter and just behind Lord of the Rings. Because of its success as a novel, it has gotten two movie adaptations and... Continue Reading →
As I said in yesterday's post, Rings of Power is a case study in everything wrong with modern-day television. Not only is it a perfect storm of intersectionality politics, fan-baiting, poor story telling, and much more, but it is something that shows that fandoms can and will have the guts to stand up against the...

Picking up from where I left off yesterday in my on-going review of the monstrosity known as Rings of Power, I'm back with even more reasons as to why this show is an absolute dumpster fire. As I go on with this review, it is becoming ever clearer to me that Rings of Power is... Continue Reading →
To say this show is terrible is an insult to the word "terrible". Even before I had started reading J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion and Lord of the Rings, I thought the show was innately bad. I had grown up on the Peter Jackson film adaptations and was expecting a show that would have the same... Continue Reading →
Last year for Christmas, I asked for two things that I didn't realize would lead me down a rabbit hole of lore and change the way I write and those things were The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. Why? I asked for them because while I was raised on Tolkien's works and the... Continue Reading →
