Tome Thursday: Queen's Hope

 

Hello everyone!

 

May the Fourth be with you!

 

Ahem.

 

Haha, it's actually already the fifth on my end BUT, given that the blog post is only a day late from the actual date of it, I figured a Star Wars-themed book wouldn't be completely off-topic, would it?

 

So here we are.

 

When it was announced that there would actually be a third one in this particular lineup, I was very excited.

 

Mostly because it's about pretty much my favourite character of the galaxy.

 

However, of the previous two, I only REALLY enjoyed the first one, while the second was floundering a little, or so I felt.

 

So while I was excited, I was hesitant, and turns out my hesitation proved correct. But let's stop waffling and look at Queen's Hope, shall we?

Tome Thursday: Queen's Peril

Hello everyone!

Wouldn't you know it, I'm back with another story from the galaxy far, far away.

You didn't think I'd left it ALL behind, did you?

I was only waiting for another awesome release.

A lot of people will argue (and do argue actually) that the post-Disney era is garbage, and I respectfully disagree with that. At least this post-Disney era gives us books focusing on some of the characters we've been dying to hear more about!

Plus I read books not by the era they were published in, but by what interests me at the time.

And a book about Padmé Amidala is ALWAYS going to win my good graces.

When it was announced that E.K. Johnston would be writing a prequel, or basically just another Padmé story, I was beyond thrilled.

Because character-driven stories like Queen's Peril are what we need.

Tome Thursday: Queen's Shadow

Hello everyone!

Sooo I kind of lied. The last time I reviewed a Star Wars-related book, I mean.

I said, and don't quote me directly on this, but I said something along the lines of 'I need a break from the galaxy far, far away'.

And then I went and dived right back into said galaxy, only a little before the books I'd been reading.

Maybe I didn't need to take a Star Wars break.

Maybe I just needed a New Republic break.

That makes some sense to me as I can feel reluctance in trying to start something New Republic-related at the moment - three books in a row are quite enough for now - but actual excitement and enthusiasm for potential OLD Republic books.

I'm a complicated person.

And I survived the latest Shadowhunters episode, which means that I can dive into Queen's Shadow with gusto.

Talkie Tuesday: The Force Awakens

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away ..."

Hello everyone!

To my absolute delight I finally, FINALLY had the time to sit down and watch the movie I've been gunning for since the moment they released information about it going into production. Not only have I been a huge fan for years now, but it's a sort of return to my childhood in a way, or at least to my teenage years since I think that was when the (then) last movie came out. 

Of course I could have gone to the cinema and seen it there, and I'm actually bummed that I didn't make it, because it would have been totally awesome, but then again, in the privacy of my own room, I totally had the privilege to comment out loud and do all the usual fangirl things haha!

And obviously, I was going to do a LOT of those, for reasons I have already stated.

Let's just be honest with ourselves and say that Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens was probably the most anticipated movie of last year's winter time, as much as Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice is for this year.
