Review: The Pendragon Cycle Was Interesting (Spoilers)

For the past six months, I've been reading The Pendragon Cycle by Stephen R. Lawhead in a mad frenzy punctuated by weeklong breaks to try to finish the series before the Dailywire+ adaptation comes out sometime this year. Now that I've finished it and can finally give my take on the series as a whole... Continue Reading →

Blog: OG Stories of my Childhood: My First Novel (Sorta)

Several months ago, I did a series on here called "OG Stories of my Childhood" where I basically just found old stories that I had written in grade school (ages 7 to 10 I think) and shared them with all of you, chronicling my early days as a writer. I thought I had ended that... Continue Reading →

Review: The Isle of the Lost Book Series is Disney Fanfic (Spoilers) 

If you guys have been keeping up with my posts, you’ll know that a few weeks ago I did a report on Disney Channel’s newest addition to the wildly popular Descendants universe, Descendants 4: The Rise of Red, (a.k.a. the sequel no one asked for since the third movie was supposed to be the last...

Review: Don Quixote is as Senile as Biden (or Maybe It’s the Other Way Around) (Spoilers)

Okay, maybe that’s a bit of an overstatement, but just take a moment to think about it. Both Don Quixote and Biden are two old, senile dudes who don’t know where they are, the only difference being that one is at least strong enough to wear armor and fight people and can form a sentence...

Review: The Hunger Games Was One of the Only Good Dystopian Novels (Spoilers)

Even though I’ve talked about quite a few books on this blog, one of the series I haven’t talked much about is the dystopian series that really kicked the genre into full gear in the 2010s and that was The Hunger Games. Though I’ve talked about the prequel book that came out in 2020 and... Continue Reading →

Blog: How to Never Write a Fight Scene: Rings of Power Snow Troll Scene.

I pick on Rings of Power a (perhaps) unfair amount on this blog. I mean, I’ve written numerous articles meticulously picking it apart as compared to the books, making fun of the showrunners and writers, and in general beating it a ton to make sure it’s extra dead. But today, I’m back to break down... Continue Reading →

Blog: How not to Write Emotionally Damaged Characters: Tris

I am not a fan of the Divergent trilogy. Not only is it essentially soft porn for teenagers, but the main character, Tris (short for Beatrice because she’s just soo edgy), has one of the worst mental health arcs I have ever read. Throughout the series (especially in book 2), she is a whiny, selfish... Continue Reading →

Blog: Happy Valentine’s Day. Let’s Talk About How to Write a Romance.

As you guys know, I am not the type of person who likes love-triangles or many other lovey-dovey type tropes in books. However, I’m not completely heartless; I still enjoy a good love story now and again in a book when it’s not completely contrived. So let’s talk about how I think a romance should...

Review: King Lear Has Issues (Spoilers)

As some of you may know from my post about YouTuber Unclaimed Demigod’s video defending the LGBTQ+ agenda in Rick Riordan’s books, I am a sophomore student and in the grand tradition of high school, that naturally means reading a lot of Shakespear’s writing. So far, I haven’t covered much of his writing, so that’s... Continue Reading →

Review: Pilgrim’s Progress Was Okay (Spoilers)

I don't know if you guys ever read Pilgrim's Progress as part of your schooling, but as someone who is homeschooled, it was part of my curriculum. At the time, I didn't really know much about it other than it was considered a classic and was supposed to be an allegory for Christianity. Thus, I... Continue Reading →
