The Joy of Pain-ting

Impact
The book took me on a roller coaster ride that was really building up into something significant, right until the ending. It was like the feeling I had with Game of Thrones. A little bit of a smoother ride, as the denouement was kind of a fizzle instead of a slam/bang, tight ending, but it harbored so much potential in those page turning, early chapters that the ending was a bit of a let down.

Carnival Row
Three episodes in, and really enjoying Carnival Row on Netflix. Just enough grit and realism to launch it beyond the fantasy realm, with great acting and detailed, almost steampunk-esque sets to boot.

The Last Colony
Seriously underwhelmed by a book I had such high hopes for!This is essentially the Old Man’s War version of the third Matrix movie. Namely, the first book was amazing, and a game changer. It had it’s inspirations, in this case the famed Robert Heinlein, but it was original and exciting enough to make it almost too short. The second book in the series, not unlike the second Matrix movie, brought up a few clever elements, but mainly tread water.This third installment, “The Last Colony” was supposed to end the series but kind of fizzled instead of exploded. The author has since extended the series into 6 books, but I’m not real anxious to read them.
