The concept reminded me a lot of a Firefly or Voltron esque story. A crew of misfit characters banding together … Continue reading Book Review: Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

Different forms of media lend themselves to different … Continue reading Book Review: Gears of War Ascendance by Jason M. Hough

Ever since I was a kid, Avatar The Last Airbender had been one of my favorite tv shows and series of all time.

Book Review: On Writing and Worldbuilding by Timothy Hickson
I like to think of myself as a competent writer when it comes to storytelling. Though I may feel this about myself, objectively it will be left to my readers to determine whether or not this is true. This has been a line of thinking that has plagued me ever since I finished writing the … Continue reading Book Review: On Writing and Worldbuilding by Timothy Hickson

There’s been several stories that have focused on the post-apocalyptic or dystopian narrative for teen/young adult fiction that have, for the most part, felt rather bland in my opinion. While The Maze Runner was a fantastic book that felt refreshing and unique, … Continue reading Book Review: The Scorch Trials by James Dashner
