Finished the new Kane Chronicles book on Wednesday, but I wanted to let it digest for a few days - plus, you know, I had finals to finish up.

Anyway, for those of you who read the first book in the series, The Red Pyramid, and weren't that impressed, you will be by the The Throne Fire. It was a definite improvement on the first book and I really ( Read more... )

Got back from seeing Voyage of the Dawn Treader and I wasn't terribly impressed. I mean, the movie wasn't terrible or anything, but it just... lacked the magic of the first two? I don't know. It just didn't capture me the way The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe did or make me want to immediately go re-watch it like Prince Caspian did.

I'm finished now, so you can hit me all with your squee or RAEG or tears of despair, whatever. As always, spoilers under the cut.

( More like the future mugs me from time to time )

Okay, so I finally got my hands on the thing and I'm nowhere near finished at this point (I'm on page 211), but I had Some Thoughts about everything that's happened so far that I wanted to share. Again, if you've finished, please be mindful of spoilers and all that.

I finished Mockingjay yesterday afternoon, but I was roadtripping with some friends to Lincoln so you can only imagine how much of an anti-social grump I was to hang out with after that. All I wanted to do for the rest of the day was shake someone and scream, "DO YOU KNOW WHAT I JUST READ. I AM IN EMOTIONAL TURMOIL RIGHT NOW, HUG MEEEEE." Or, you ( Read more... )

Okay, it took me a bit longer than usual to read this because of finals, but I just finished. And this book? Five hundred pages of awesome.

If you enjoyed Percy Jackson, you're definitely guaranteed to like this series. The set-up is very much the same as the first PJO book; it even seems to be following the plot of The Lightning Thief pretty ( Read more... )

Saw The Lightning Thief tonight with mysticfushia, da_widget, and a couple of other friends. We were probably the oldest non-parents in the theatre, which was awkward for like .5 seconds.

It'll probably come as no surprise, but I loved this ridiculous movie. Yeah, the plot was nothing like the book and there was some other issues with it, but overall? It captured the ( Read more... )

The writers of Merlin just love the freaking reset button, don't they? But that being said, this is probably my favorite episode of Merlin season two so far. Excellent acting, great story, a good guest star, etc., but the ending was so damn frustrating! Why, writers, whyyyy?

( Spoilers and all that under the cut )

Finally caught up with the recent episodes of Merlin I missed. WHYYY did I wait so long for the awesome?!
