(Forgive typos I'm reviewing on my tablet)

I was ecstatic when this was first announced. Honestly it's been on my to buy list for months. Thanks to the pandemic, however, I never got the chance.

So when I found this while browsing Libby for a quick read I grinned like the Cheshire cat and checked it out pronto.

I wasn't disappointed. The art makes it seem like the characters jumped out of an episode.

The story is solid it just...

Ended too quickly I guess?

I mean the ending was good but too fast for me.

This series has really stepped up now, I am so excited to read the next one it seems like it will be epic.

I loved this installment, the characters were great as was the coming of age angst and final battle. The valgs and continued mystery to the whole plot were really great and pretty scary.

My only criticism is the relationship between Celeana and Rowan, who is suddenly forgiven without much of a lash back from Celeana, which to me goes against her character. I also found the blood oath bit repetitive.

William Gibson | 2016 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"This dark, fast-paced novel is a visionary masterpiece. It’s populated by hackers and cyberpunks, Gibson’s creations that have since become fixtures in the electronic matrix. I first read the book in the mid-1990s, when the Internet was beginning to wrap itself around all of us, and I read it with increasing excitement—but not without some difficulty. Gibson doesn’t bother to explain his terms or lead the reader by the hand through the puzzling dislocations of his futuristic landscape. Neuromancer is pulp fiction, but it’s guided by a hip wisdom about a baffling phenomenon that was only beginning to take shape."

Still hilarious as hell. Its breakneck energy, spastic animation, and frenetic joke-ifying forever influenced the current playing field for fast-paced children's blockbusters such as The Lego Movie(s) and its subsequent clones - good or ill. The inescapable hype around this back in the day was totally deserved because we'd seldom really seen anything like this at the time, and it's truly sad this is looked upon less fondly today just because it isn't as revolutionary as it once seemed. It still very much is imo, and how can one even try to deny that voice cast and role subversion?
