First V.E. Schwab book I've read. Undecided if it's the last.

Five-word book review: multidimensional, high-potential, underdeveloped, Y.A., mainstream.

Riff Raff: Is it a comedy? A family drama? Why does Jennifer Coolidge's face look so smooth in the ads? Sorry, I digress.
A lot of comedic star-power, but the laughs lack the expected punch.

Rec to anyone who enjoys seeing anything that (insert name of actor seen here) is in.

I rarely reread books, but I had the chance to teach this for the first time in 19 years as an educator and couldn't pass it up as it's one of my all-time favs. So, without further ado...

Five-word book reviews: Romantic, illusionary, deceptive, tragic, G.O.A.T.-worthy

Second finished game of the year!

Grade: high C to low B

Original story with great visuals and fun travelling mechanics... glitches, broken side quests, mandatory horde fights, and unrealistic ambushes on startup among other things brings it down a bit. Still, good overall 👍
