The beginning of the end

The first and original. First game I've played that I spent hours just designing my sims and house. Then I discovered the macabe aspect of killing sims in different ways. "oh, your pool ladder is gone? Just drown" "oh, there's a rug and plant by the fireplace, better be ready to burn"

Book Favorite

"A sociological study disguised as a crime novel, set in New York City. While reading this, I was completely submerged in his words, and this world. I didn’t want it to end. Richard is extraordinary with dialogue. The jigsaw of a narrative is as complex as the city it describes."

has few women supporting characters (0 more)

The continued adventures to Kelsey's and Ren's quest. Starts right after the end of the first book. We get to know more about Kishan and Kelsey's "normal" life in Oregon. The supporting characters are mostly male and there are few female characters which is a little annoying. Also the mythology expands to include most of the world, not just India and Japan or various Asian myths.

Joelene Marie (28 KP) rated The Song of the Quarkbeast (The Last Dragonslayer, #2) in Books

Oct 1, 2018

Another fun fantasy adventure that picks up right after the events of The Last Dragonslayer. I just love the world Jasper Fforde has built here and the characters feel like old friends. Oh, and I really want a quarkbeast!! My main complaint with this one, and from the little I've read of the third one, is a lack of continuity in places. Dragonslayer is set in the "capital city of Hereford in the kingdom of the same name" whose monarch is the nefarious King Snod. When Quarkbeast begins and Jennifer is summarizing the details of her world and the events of Dragonslayer the kingdom name has changed from Hereford to Snod with no explanation. This kinda threw me a bit, things like that are a pet peeve of mine, but I decided to overlook it. Then I finish this one and start the sample of book three and it happened again, the end of Quark and the beginning of the Eye of Zoltar don't match up. At the end of Quark Jennifer talks about all the repairs they made to zambini towers and in the beginning of Zoltar she says they didn't happen. Im not sure if it was intentional or just bad editing but it's a bit irritating in an otherwise wonderful series.
