Oh, bumper sticker people. Sigh. Look, if you’re going to get a bumper sticker (especially a religious one), at least make sure it’s something that a 10 year old with a dictionary couldn’t punch a hole in.

The Way of Kings by: Brandon Sanderson Let’s just get this out of the way: FIVE STARS It was awesome. There will be minor spoilers in this review, so click out now if that’s your thing. So, what makes it awesome? What doesn’t! By that I mean: not a single chapter, and maybe not even [...]

Escapement by: Jay Lake I’m torn about what to say here. On one hand, I enjoyed the book and the world we are seeing born here is pretty marvelous… but at the same time, throughout the course of my reading I kept wondering where the book was. By that I mean… in most books there [...]

Another strong episode stirring social issues (and Bajor! Suprise!) into the mix. In this case we have some creationism vs. evolution shenanigans (I know, right?) BUT unfortunately they don’t have to actually resolve the issues (they do try though, and most folks are level headed about it. Kind of.) Morn mills around in the background [...]
