I’m just going to start this off by telling you that if you love beautiful, soft animation and art, you should definitely see the movie The Song of the Sea. It’s adorable and sweet, and has some of the most stunning background artistry I’ve ever seen. But now you may be wondering what that has to do with this book I’m about to review?

It was one of the most reviewed books of CBR7, so I decided I had to read it
So this is a different kind of post-apocalyptic book than I’m used to. I’m not sure I even knew it was post-apocalyptic until I really got into it.

Unfortunately I was very, very wrong. Gillen apparently decided that the best way to capitalize on the series’ momentum was treading water and not furthering the story at all. Commercial Suicide delves into the backstories of several of the gods in the pantheon. I’m not at all opposed to a good […]
