If you don't care about anything resembling character development, deep and meaningful relationships, conflict resolution (that doesn't involve violence), well thought out systems of magic and supernatural beings, you might like this series a lot. If you like Shonen-style anime (you know, the ones where the characters advance in power from episode to episode), mixed with enough tripe from popular supernatural movies and books to seem modern, you might like this series. ![]() The notes from my first review continue to apply here: As one reviewer said: you might consider this series the guiltiest pleasure you can imagine. Unfortunately, *everything else* seems to be lagging behind at a glacial pace. John's ability to write (meaning the structure of his sentences, grammar, use of descriptive adjectives, etc.) gets better with each book. ![]() ![]() Much of her work, even at its most tragic, has an attractively ironic tone which sometimes becomes straightforwardly comedy - it is important to stress that Tiptree's deep seriousness never becomes sombre or pompous. ![]() ![]() Even good men are complicit in women's oppression, as in her most famous stories THE WOMEN MEN DON'T SEE and HOUSTON, HOUSTON, DO YOU READ? or in ecocide. Sheldon's best stories combine radical feminism with a tough-minded tragic view of life even virtuous characters are exposed as unwitting beneficiaries of disgusting socio-economic systems. Most of her books are collections of short stories, of which HER SMOKE ROSE UP FOREVER is considered to be her best. ![]() Alice Hastings Bradley Sheldon wrote most of her fiction as James Tiptree, Jr - she was making a point about sexist assumptions and also keeping her US government employers from knowing her business. ![]() ![]() ![]() But while it does include time travel, Kindred doesn’t fall under the science fiction genre, according to Butler. Kindred is not science fiction.īutler is one of the most esteemed science fiction authors of the 20th century, known for her high-concept series set in the future. Here are some facts about Kindred, as seen in Mental Floss's book The Curious Reader. Butler wrote numerous speculative fiction classics before her death in 2006, but her 1979 novel remains her best-known work. ![]() In order to ensure her existence, Dana continues to jump between the present and the past, saving her ancestor’s life numerous times while enduring abuse. There, she meets the white enslaver destined to become her great-great-great-grandfather. The book follows Dana, a 26-year-old Black woman from California who travels back in time to an Antebellum plantation in Maryland. I write Bestselling Books … So Be It! See To It.” Her vision came true with the success of Kindred. While working as a writer, Octavia Butler famously wrote herself the motivational note: “I am a Bestselling Writer. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The plot is tightly paced and while there are moments to breathe and it's not a compact novel, it reads fast and moves with the elegance of a Mercedes Benz (or that Duchessa that Hilo has). The best part of this story to me is that there is so much backstory and subtext that is hinted at but not fully exposed, which keeps you hooked for the next installment. There isn't a single character who is poorly etched, and I especially love Hilo and Anden, and their relationship throughout the story. ![]() You aren't always sure who the MC is through the novel and I'd argue it never ends up extremely clear, but all the characters are really well done. As someone who loves family crime dramas, this really hit a nice sweet spot of mixing fantasy and crime (may appeal to Locke Lamorra fans), and I think Fonda Lee does a nice job of blending the tropes from the crime family saga (a cool-headed, responsible son, hotheaded brawler son, and a rebel daughter) and subverting them in delightful ways. Jade City is pretty much a gangster drama set in a 1950s East Asian fantasy city which gives me Hong Kong or Taiwan vibes, especially given the backstory surrounding it. However, there is no perfect novel that is without its flaws and I will absolutely discuss those as well. To cap this off, I'll have to say this was one of my favorite books I've read all year and that is absolutely going to show through this review. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Should there be deviations in any case from the condition stated, we would very much appreciate it if you would contact us before giving a review.

And so goodbye to the stories of stumbling across some hidden gem in a dollar bin, of being directed toward the real stuff by a knowing comic shop employee, of trying something wild because the cover leaps out from the new release racks. There's a riff to unspool here about how our current era is the one that's providing the least institutional support for the cutting edge of comics art, but the reality of it is that publishers and retailers may just have finally learned that the great unwashed (that's all you jerks reading this) just doesn't want to read comics that push any boundaries. How acquired: In the same dreary manner as I get most of the best comics these days: ordered off the internet. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie Preferences, as described in the Cookie Notice.

World War Hulk is a 2007 Marvel Comics event by Greg Pak, John Romita Jr., Klaus Janson, and Christina Strain, which follows the events of the 2006 story. It is basically the Hulk meets Gladiator and tells a great self-contained story that involves the Hulk finally finding a place where he fits in, finding love and a sense of purpose. I think the Planet Hulk storyline may be one of the best Hulk stories ever written. ![]() |
