An Overwhelmed Creative

  The Sunlit Man is the fourth and final novel from the Brandon Sanderson's Kickstarter. I accidentally skipped Yumi and the Nightmare Painter when I went on a trip and needed to take a book on my Kindle.  The Sunlit Man started a bit odd. With a character who doesn't know where he is or what is happening around him. All we knew was that he was running from something. The events began to unfold, but I confess it was hard for me to follow or connect to the story for a while because I felt lost and didn't know what in the world was happening or why. But then the author began to tell me about the world, and that piqued my interest. It was a small world that had a very hot and short day, so the citizens of the planet needed to be constantly moving with the night to not get incinerated.  The race of people who lived in the planet also had energy transferring abilities, which helped move the plot. The villain, a tyrant who has a lot of energy at his disposal, was cruel, unli...

  I sometimes play video games with my brother on line (since we live many miles apart). We started not too long ago (we've been doing it for about a year now), and we started with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game we used to play in an arcade growing up (we are in our late forties now). We only played this for about two days and needed a change. Then we tried a few others (including the Aliens one before they took it off GamePass.  Finally, he suggested It Takes Two. Now, this was a really fun game. The story and characters weren't all that great, but the gameplay was really interesting because it kept changing. The game is about two parents who basically hate each other and want to divorce, and their daughter thinks its her fault. So one day, they turn into two of her toys and they try to become human again. During their journey, the "Book of Love" (yes, you read that right) tried to show them how to find love again (or at least how to cooperate). The two charac...

  Stars and Smoke is a book by the author of a series of books I love called Legend . Before I read this stand-alone book, I read the Warcross duology by Marie Lu and I wasn't disappointed. Perhaps it wasn't as wonderful as the Legend Trilogy was, but it met my expectations. Unfortunately, Stars and Smoke wasn't even close to either others other books. Honestly, I don't know what happened. The story was very slow and nothing ever really happened. I mean, it did, but it was like an afterthought, and even when the book was over 300 pages, the two main characters that are supposed to be in love never showed any real chemistry or a sign to convince me that they were in love, at least. Everything felt a bit forced. The story still had a point, which came very late in th ebook, with a very abrupt ending. Just like that. I recommend the Legend Series or even the Warcross books over this title. Perhaps her next book will be amazing. I surely hope so. Cheers!
