Expected by his enemies to die the miserable death of a military slave, Kaladin survived to be given command of the royal bodyguards, a controversial first for a low-status “darkeyes.” Now he must protect the king and Dalinar from every common peril as well as the distinctly uncommon threat of the Assassin, all while secretly
So, Daniel Greene (a fast-growing YouTuber – check him out) posted a video a couple of days ago called Post Series Depression and he mentioned something that I wanted to talk about. There are people who read Harry Potter or The Lord of the Rings trilogy and then never read anything else. I know some
POSSIBLE SPOILERS My Rating: 1/5 That was the most boring episode of TV I’ve watched this year. The only reason there is 1 start rather than 0 is because the show did include a small amount of setup for the rest of the season. The new villain looks interesting, but seems to have similar motives
Picking up the tale of Kvothe Kingkiller once again, we follow him into exile, into political intrigue, courtship, adventure, love and magic . . . and further along the path that has turned Kvothe, the mightiest magician of his age, a legend in his own time, into Kote, the unassuming pub landlord.

MILD SPOILERS My Rating: 4/5 This was a better start that I thought it would be. I was trying to spare my hope before watching this show and wrongly assumed that I might be a little disappointed. Little did I know that the set-up for the main story is actually quite good. Starting with the

Rating: 5/5 Non-Spoiler Section Finally. A good film from DC. Not just good: Great! The Joker is one of my favourite villains of all time so I was a little hesitant when they announced they were making a film. Then I watched the trailer. Then I saw who was behind and in front of the
Season 1 of Batwoman will air on October 6th. The season is co produced by David Nutter (who did a great job with the first couple of Game of Thrones Season 8 episodes). Batwoman is set in a Gotham where Batman has abandoned it and crime is rising. Kate Kane (played by Ruby Rose) is
Supergirl’s season 4 received a mixture of reviews. A lot of this is due to the show’s writers using the platform to explore the political climate. This is not a review so I won’t get into any of that. This is a recap. Villains Ben Lockwood was the show’s main villain for a while on
I found this tag at booklovingnut.com so check out their unpopular opinions too! (1). A Popular Book You Did Not Like City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments) by Cassandra Clare I remember reading this around the time the Twilight series was finishing and it was so boring! The love triangles, possible incest, dull-as-hell characters –
The problem with the hero archetype is that it is so easy to be dull. The hero starts out as a pauper, a trainee assassin or mage, a farmer, and then goes on a mighty adventure where a darkness must be stopped. That is, in its most simplest form, the hero narrative. Take inspiration from
I recently finished my (BA) English and Creative Writing, and after some deliberation I applied to and am now on an MA Creative Writing course. Of course, studying creative writing at university is not necessary for becoming a writer and you might not become a good one because of it, but there are many benefits

Little did I know when I started reading the books several years ago that I would have an exciting TV show coming down the line to look forward to. This is what we know so far about the upcoming Wheel of Time TV show on Amazon. Many other fans may have seen the 22 minute
