I am trying to catch up on all the Gaiman stories I have missed. This looked like a pretty interesting one; I mean how cool is it to re-imagine all of the Marvel characters in 1602? Overall it was entertaining. The story was excellent and the drawings fantastic. I am …
I was excited to read this book. The synopsis of it reminded me some of “A Great and Terrible Beauty” a little bit. This book really wasn’t like that at all; it was okay and somewhat entertaining. I found it to be very predictable and the characters to all be …
This is the second book in the Gentlemen Bastards series by Scott Lynch. Overall this was a great book. The pacing was a bit slow in the middle, but the story telling is intricate and clever. You wouldn’t have to read the first book to enjoy this book, but knowing …
