Commentary by Arezou Amin and Dr. Nora Williams Midway through our Shakespeare project. Midway through the Prequel Trilogy. We’ve come so far. If you can believe it, we’re actually nice this time. Well…nicer. Are we just settling into the style? Is it a question of Ian Doescher feeling less attached to the Prequels and soContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: William Shakespeare’s The Clone Army Attacketh”

As a whole, the Prequel Trilogy is my favourite one. I think it’s the most coherent as a trilogy because for better or worse, it’s one guy’s vision, one singular story, it was planned out start to finish and it shows. But with any story that comes out in multiple parts, we’re bound to haveContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: Attack of the Clones”

Commentary by Arezou Amin and Dr. Nora Williams We’re back and we’re ready to get into these Prequels! I am a big prequel fan, Nora isn’t. Buckle up kids.

He just sort of…is there. While other people are there. That’s not to say that I’m not still enjoyingContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: Thrawn Ascendancy: Greater Good”

My heart is so full, y’all. I don’t even know where to start with this one. Perhaps along the lines of “Kristin Baver knocked this out of the damn park” because that is absolutely what happened here. I’m a fast reader but I usually like to take a couple of days to go through aContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: Skywalker: A Family At War”

You know what I was expecting? I was expecting to read this book, to struggle to come up with talking points, and ultimately to write a review that was along the lines of “yeah, that was fine I guess” What I didn’t expect was for this book to so thoroughly knock the air out ofContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: Victory’s Price”
