Eye on the Eye of the World

I finished Eye of the World by Robert Jordan and reviewed it very recently. And THEN I bumped into some content on Youtube. Typical. Daniel Greene’s Review… Daniel Greene is a total Wheel of Time fanboy, but gives fair reviews. I really like his content on his Youtube channel. His review of Eye of theContinue reading “Eye on the Eye of the World”

Let’s Review: Eaters of the Dead

One of my favourite films of all time is ‘The 13th Warrior’ by the director responsible for Predator (the good one), Die Hard (the Christmas Movie) and The Hunt for Red October. 13th Warrior was his last movie before he ended up in prison for lying to the FBI. Regardless of that, I have alwaysContinue reading “Let’s Review: Eaters of the Dead”

The DreamWorks team announced the release date for the next season of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. I’ve been a bit of a fan of the show on Netflix and reviewed it a little while ago. Instead of being shorts like the last season, the fourth season is 13 episodes long focusing on, inContinue reading “She-Ra: Season 4 News!”

My Autumn/Winter Reading List

Okay, I know that is a mad pile of books. The first three books in the Wheel of Time series is nearly 3000 pages altogether. The rest of the Mistborn trilogy won’t take me long – though I may be knackered for work because I couldn’t put them down. The rest of the Darkblade booksContinue reading “My Autumn/Winter Reading List”

Let’s Review: The Final Empire

Here is an admission: I have never before read anything by Brandon Sanderson. Nothing at all. Nada. Nowt. But I had heard lots and lots about how good his work was. Hell’s bells – he was even chosen to finish Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series. So, with a sense of anticipation, I spent aContinue reading “Let’s Review: The Final Empire”

Five Characters in need of an Attitude Adjustment

Ever read a book and find you want to take a character outside and give them a good kicking?  I have – and recently too.  Here are five individuals that need their attitudes violently adjusted from fiction. And as an aside – Don’t beat people up, please. Use common sense and don’t think it isContinue reading “Five Characters in need of an Attitude Adjustment”

Let’s Review: The Demon’s Curse – A Tale of Mauls Darkblade

Published in 2005, the Daemon’s Curse is based on the original Malus Darkblade story presented in issue one of Warhammer Monthly (March 1998). I have had the series on my shelves, collecting dust, for the last few years – though the books themselves are well thumbed. I have read the tale at least three timesContinue reading “Let’s Review: The Demon’s Curse – A Tale of Mauls Darkblade”

The Death of Smaug

In my brief skitter through YouTube at the weekend, I stumbled across this gem of a video. As some of my longer followers might remember, back in July, I reviewed the Hobbit. So, while still fresh in my mind, I came across this gem from Hello Future Me, an animation of the part of theContinue reading “The Death of Smaug”
