1. While I am generally up for almost any fairy tale riff/sequel, I have very little interest in the upcoming Hansel and Gretelmovie. Largely because every "grown up" Hansel and Gretel I've encountered has basically had one or both as a mini-inquisition. And while I like the fairy tale and can see "professional witchhunters" as being a logical next ( Read more... )

Maris is a Landbound, the daughter of a beachcomber. As a child, she watched the Flyers-men and women who carry messages between the islands of their world and fly using large, metal wings- in the air and wished to join them. She thought she finally had her chance when a childless Flyer, Russ, took her in and raised her as his own, declaring her ( Read more... )

I have to say, while this volume was technically as good as the other books, I wasn’t as involved in it.  Partly because, as compared to Storm of Swords(but only that, not pretty much any other book in existence) not a lot happened, but more because, really, half the characters I care about weren’t in this one(or were only in one chapter and from ( Read more... )

Dear George R.R. Martin…do you hate the Starks?  Do you have it in for them?  Would two seconds without constant pain and suffering be too much to ask?  I’m almost glad we don’t see what’s happening with Rickon, given what his mother and siblings are going through.

Even if you count this as 2-3 books, this is possibly the most hectic, plot-stuffed ( Read more... )

Typed this up very quickly in the last 15 or so minutes at work, so I don't know how much sense it makes.

Ok, almost 800 pages into A Storm of Swords(and %^&#%^*&*&*$^ to that wedding feast...), and I have to ask..does Martin hate the Starks?  Does he have it in for them?  It seems that those poor people never get a break(yeah, I know, it's to make ( Read more... )

This is nothing in depth, really, just something I've noticed while reading A Storm of Swords.  I think everything that could actually be considered a direct spoiler was in the first book, but I'll use a cut anyway.

So, normally, any hint of incest, especially with anything resembling a main character, is enough to send me heading for the hills, but ( Read more... )

Finished it last night, extremely good(don't know if I'd go as far as to say that it changed the way I look at fantasy, but good)  As I think pretty much everyone on my Flist who would read it has, I won't do a proper review, but some thoughts...

A cut in case there are those who haven't read it but plan to.

I was surprised Ned was killed off in the ( Read more... )
