Tempted Chapters 4 & 5
Chapter 4 I bet you’re all dying to know how long Zoey’s known she was the reincarnation of a Native American honey pot. I could see the comments blowing up below the previous post, demanding that I not leave them … Continue reading

Tempted Chapters 2 & 3
Chapter 2 So apparently the chapters in Song of Fire and Ice are titled by character name. Something I never really noticed in spite of reading them. Probably because I, generally, give fuck all about chapter titles and numbers. I … Continue reading

Split Second Chapters 22 & 23
Chapter 22 You know what I can’t stand? Having my pulse pound. But Baldacci is just so damn good at keeping my heart rate up. If he keeps it up any longer, I’ll have to seek treatment for tachycardia. Thank … Continue reading
Hunted Chapter 29
Here’s an odd question that deserves some thought. Zoey and slaves have been talking badly about Stark lately. Mostly they’ve focused on how he’s forcibly drinking blood from girls and “strutting about like he’s all that.” I suppose this is … Continue reading

Hunted Chapter 25
Zoey is stupid I repeat to everyone for the hundredth time. I don’t mind stupid characters though. For example—and I’m sorry I keep going back to this well but it works—in the Wheel of Time series, there’s a lot of … Continue reading

Hunted Chapter 2
We break no continuity by rejoining Zoey as she’s just woken up. She tells herself that Kalona can get into her dreams but not to worry. That won’t prevent her from worrying herself sick as a dog at the slightest … Continue reading

Untamed Chapter 15
I have to wonder if PCK is going to try and retcon the whole purification ritual. By that I mean, finally explain what the hell it matters. I distinctly remember an entire chapter wasted on one in the very first … Continue reading

Untamed Chapter 8
One of the things I’ve always found particularly lame is when authors try to work in an allegory for racism or bigotry into fantasy or science fiction. The good ones can do it but a good author can do just … Continue reading

Untamed Chapter 7
What if Nyx didn’t actually exist? I mean in universe, of course. What if Zoey were merely hallucinating visions of Nyx whenever she was stressed? Think about it, Zoey’s been exposed to a fundamentalist environment at home during her later … Continue reading

Untamed Chapter 3
Zoey waits for Neferet to leave before asking Stark if he’s hungry. Now that’s a chapter hook. ‘Are you hungry?’ ‘Yup.’ ‘Let’s get some food then.’ Luckily for Stark he showed up at the exact same time as they were … Continue reading
