This is always an exciting time on the blog. It's a new book. And for the first time, I'm really delving into unknown territory. We're 150 years on from the last novel, and there's a whole new cast of characters to meet. It's Claudia Grey's Into the Dark.

2 comics and a short story this week from authors Justina Ireland, Michael Kogge, and Charles Soule. Three great tales, I think What a Jedi Makes was ny favourite of this batch. It had more time to let the characters grow.

Quest for Planet X book review. Gratton plays to her strengths with the interpersonal drama, building tensions into simple conversations. Great read.

Chapter 4 of Tactics is off to a great start. We finally learn of Delita's plan (if you believe him), among betrayal and a prison break. Feels like its either ramping up to endgame, or we're only halfway through.

Chapter 21 was phenomenal. Binnot completely destroys Axel Greylark, whose name still has power, and then is owned by his prisoner Gella. 2 entirely different sides to the same character. The fact that he doesn't seem unrealistic speaks to @lydiakang.bsky.social writing

The journey continues and things are heating up. I think. I'm not sure what's going on. Is Delita a bad guy? Is Ovelia the princess? Is Wiegraf alive? What's up with the stones? So many questions!!!

Axel and Binnot make it to Dalna, along with Xiri, Char-Ryl-Roy, Enya, Orin and, Gella. This grouping of chapters ends with things just about to blow up. And we have our first (of many, I presume) big death in the story. #StarWars Cataclysm.

I am beginning to understand the appreciation for this game and world. The Lion War begins and Delita is potentially the most interesting character in all of #FinalFantasy.

3 chapters again. This book, for all its tension, death, betrayal, anger, and brutality, is actually really funny in parts. Chancellor Mollo sitting through that meeting is the funniest half chapter I've read in all of #StarWars
