Finished Plague Year. FAR better than I expected. This dystopian sci-fi novel was fantastic. The pacing, dread, action, characters, plot - all of it was top notch. It's a trilogy, and I've moved right on to book 2, Plague War. I'll review the trilogy as a whole when done. #SFF

Let's be clear here. Stranger Things ended the series EXACTLY as I look for. They landed the plane in style. After so long, so much build-up... they did it! A rare feat! It was the anti-Game of Thrones. So many beats hit JUST right. More thoughts in video soon! #StrangerThings
