A writer and reader and lover of all things science-fiction, fantasy, and alternate history.
HBO has released a new trailer for their latest original series, Westworld, and I have to say that with each new glimpse we get, I am more and more excited to see this series. The tantalizing glimpses we get of the worlds and the characters involved here is playing directly to what I love best […]
Got a huge delight today as the news that The Shannara Chronicles has officially been renewed for a season two by MTV! While the major plot line from the Elfstones book has been completed, there’s still more story to be told. There are several books after Elfstones and then the show left us with […]
The Legend of Tephra by Carolin J.V. Milner is one of those lovely little gems that finds you and then takes you on a fantastic journey away from yourself for a while, something that all the best books do. This is the first book for the author who did both the writing and all the […]
The Damned, the debut novel from Tarn Richardson, released this month from Overlook Press is definitely eye-catching. Part one in a trilogy, all featuring the main character, Poldak Tacit, The Damned takes place in an alternate history WWI setting, where werewolves are real and the Catholic Church’s Inquisition never actually disbanded. Tacit is one […]
“Ellcrys,” episode ten and the season finale left us with some resolution and several unanswered questions. I will confess a thing, ya’ll. I knew this was coming. I have been waiting for this moment since I knew they were starting with Elfstones as the book they were adapting. The show’s done an okay job of […]
Wow. For once, I hardly even know where to begin here. This episode, Safehold, is the second to last episode and apparently the first part of the finale. Our trio of adventurers have finally made it to their destination, now all they have to do is find the Bloodfire and then get back to Arborlon […]
Picking up from where we left off with last week’s episode, Utopia, episode eight in the ten episode first season of the Shannara Chronicles begins with Eretria winding up in a strange human settlement in the middle of troll country in the Wilderrun. There’s something not quite right about the settlement here. A small […]
I was disappointed last week, that’s true. This week, we got back on track, and it was for the most part, a delightful episode. We got something in this episode that I wasn’t sure we’d see at all and that’s the appearance of the Wing Riders and their Rocs. There were some liberties taken with […]
Last week’s episode was one heck of a ride and left us with a lot of questions coming into this week. Unfortunately, for the most part, those questions went mostly unanswered. Pykon is the sixth episode of the ten episode season and it’s by far the weakest episode that we’ve seen so far. A lot […]
Tonight’s episode is the halfway point for the season and it’s been a wild ride so far. We’re also mostly half way through the book as well, though they’ve omitted some parts so far. I’m still holding out hope that we’ll see Wing Riders on screen. There are five episodes left, plenty of time right? […]
