Maybe I'm Not As Big a Brandon Sanderson Fan As I Thought

New on Dragons and Whimsy - Maybe I'm Not As Big a Brandon Sanderson Fan As I Thought #Blaugust2021

Recently trying to read Elantris I was sure I would love it. Yes, it’s early Brandon Sanderson and a lot of people warn it’s tough going, but I’m a big girl and I love Sanderson! Right? The premise sounds super interesting too, so in I went and 70 pages later, I hadn’t read for 3 days and was having a slight crisis. Do I actually not like Brandon Sanderson? That’s silly, I thought. I loved Way…

Yet To Read... Stephen King

New on Dragons and Whimsy - Yet To Read... Stephen King

Yet to Read is the weekly meme where I take a look at books on my shelves (physical and digital) that I haven’t gotten around to reading yet and books on my wishlist that I’ve wanted to add to my shelves for a while. I link these posts up to Can’t Wait Wednesday and Shelf Control! Returning to the Yet to Read series this week (having taken last week off) with a little more Stephen King. I’ve…

Blaugust 2021 Kick-Off

New on Dragons and Whimsy - Blaugust 2021 Kick-Off #blaugust2021

Fashionably late to the party, of course, I thought it’d be worth jumping in and saying hi either way! For those of you who don’t know what Blaugust is by now, I mentioned in a previous Weekend Wrap-Up I would be taking part, although Belghast’s initial post explains it much better. It’s an annual event among the video game blogging circle intended to foster community and get people blogging and…

Artifact Space Review

New on Dragon and Whimsy - Review of Artifact Space by @Phokion1 @gollancz

Out in the darkness of space, something is targeting the Greatships.With their vast cargo holds and a crew that could fill a city, the Greatships are the lifeblood of human occupied space, transporting an unimaginable volume – and value – of goods from City, the greatest human orbital, all the way to Tradepoint at the other, to trade for xenoglas with an unknowable alien species.It has always…

City of Glass Review

New on Dragons and Whimsy: my review of City of Glass by Cassandra Clare, the third book in the Mortal Instruments series

This review may contain spoilers for City of Bones and City of Ashes though I will do my best to keep it spoiler neutral. The blurb does contain spoilers for the first 2 books in the series. To save her mother’s life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters – never mind that entering the city without permission is against the Law, and breaking the Law…

The Buffy Movie Post

New on Dragons and Whimsy: The Buffy Movie Post, looking at the similarities and differences between the movie and the TV series that came later #buffy #btvs

About a week ago, I decided to watch the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie for my Buffyverse Project. I didn’t necessarily need to as the series and the movie are actually pretty different, however there was one thing that convinced me to throw it in there: one of the books features the return of Pike, Luke Perry’s character from the original movie. As I couldn’t really remember the movie, I wanted…
