  • Equal Rites: Of Witches and Wizards

    I’ll admit, I was a little worried about this one. Would Discworld be as enjoyable without Rincewind and Twoflower at the helm? Or would this bizarre world prove worth exploring beyond its most incompetent wizard and its first tourist? For the most part, it was the latter. Though it was still a little disappointing. When…

  • Voyage of the Dawntreader: One Piece, Narnia Edition

    Man, I’ve had this one on the backburner for a while. Well, better late than never. So we return to the Narnia series. A classic fantasy that most people are familiar with, but only as far as the first book or two (not the actual second book, but the second book that focuses on the…
