So I've been stewing over Genshin Impact lately.
Namely, how often some characters are (lore wise) undeservedly 5-Stars, or they're super powerful/influential and are only 4-Stars...

So I made my own list of who belongs where 💀

Hands down, Moriarty the Patriot by Ryosuke Takeuchi!

Taking Sherlock Holmes and flipping the perspective to have Moriarty as the protagonist with Holmes as the Antagonist is incredibly entertaining.

I tend to think back to a lot of the descriptors used in The Troop by Nick Cutter.

The horror and viscera were done beautifully, making me incredibly uncomfortable the entire time.

With the major stigma caused by America regarding the Middle East, it's pertinent to have the younger generations know the reality of that bias. To rid themselves of that otherness.

Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi does that exactly, and is a devastatingly powerful read.

Obviously, a balance is needed, but I will ALWAYS love a character driven narrative more than a plot based one.

Thirteen Storeys by Jonathan Sims is an amazing example that has both, but the characters are the most important!

Murder of Innocence is an incredibly interesting biography.

To see someone so obviously spiraling with no true support system, to see her do something so terrible, it's a devastating read.

Screw your favorite book, which was the first that upset you?

Hands DOWN, Bridge to Terabithia's ending devastated me as a little kid. I thought it was gonna be happy 😭

The Gifted series by Marilyn Kaye is truly one of my favorite middle school reads I'll reread as an adult, and love it just as much. So much nostalgia and character.
