After this one, I’m taking a bit of a break from the book. It’s just all so much, espeically with everything going on in the country right now. So, over the next month or so, I will read Project Hail Mary and do the Movie Vs. I think that might give me enough hope to […]
Right on schedule, for the most part, with The Burning God Episode 2. Being on February break and a snow day today helped, but I will celebrate every victory. Things again get grim for Rin in the book. I’m starting to wonder if maybe a trilogy was too long for this particular story. In some
Time to finally finish The Poppy War Trilogy. The Burning God Episode 1 covers a great deal of topics in the context of the book. After giving a summary from Super Summary, I frame my discussion around six quotes that I’ve made at various points in my life. Those quotes involve the nature of fascism,
Two episodes in one week?! Can we make it 4 in 2 and finish this thing out to get back on track for the end of the year? Only time will tell. For now, though, here’s The Dragon Republic Episode 4. Continuing from the last episode, things are even crazier than that. The Republic Army

As promised, I finished The Poppy War in record time. So focused was I on getting the series done, I forgot to use one of my favorite words, penultimate, to describe the previous episode. Nevertheless, we arrive at the end of the book with The Poppy War episode 6. One thing I can say about
Three episodes in one week? No problem. I just need to take a week long vacation to Cape Cod every other week. I mean, I won’t complain. However it happened, The Poppy War Episode 5 comes only a couple of days after the previous episode. And the next episode will come only a couple of
War erupts across Nikan and Rin calls the Phoenix god. When that goes horribly awry, they assign her to work with the Cike. How will she fit in with that rag tag group of misfits and outcasts? I discuss that and more in The Poppy War Episode 4. Another slightly longer episode because of the
