Maniae and The Hamster

 The hamster was eating his friend's sweater because he was hungry. 


And, gazing at the stars longingly, waiting patiently, the hamster thought. 


Thoughts fermenting within the firing neurons of his small brain.


Yum! Of all the things to consume, why did the sweater, comforting, fulfil my primal and savage rights? 


He leaped onto a 163-story tree with grace.


Grasping onto his half-eaten sanity, Maniae swung a nunchuck at his brains. 


SPLAT


Yes, now, the hamster returned to his creator's sweater indeed.

The Poppy War Series Review

 To be honest, I don't even know where to start. R.F. Kuang is no doubt one of my favorite authors, I love the way she writes her characters and builds her worlds. To be fair, I've only read Babel and The Poppy War series so far but they were enough to make me keep reading and that's enough for me. The Poppy War has the most brutal, heartbreaking, and immersive stories I've read in a while. Rin is a beautiful unreliable narrator and her thoughts and relationships are so intense and genuine. The book is a military fantasy, so there is a lot of war strategy and military aspects to all three of the books, but it's usually understandable and interesting enough to keep me reading even though I don't usually find that aspect of books all that readable lol. This book also contains a lot of references to real world tragedies and is mainly based off of history, which all in all makes these books all that much impactful and awful. I say awful because that's what it is...

"Icarus" by K. Ancrum

  “Icarus” by K. Ancrum is a romantic retelling of the Greek myth of the Tale of Icarus, the boy who flew too close to the sun. The story stars Icarus, the son of a vengeful thief, who struggles with his understanding of the world outside of his father and his own situation of thieving and forgery. Icarus then meets Helios who is the son of Mr. Black, their main wealthy target. Icarus and Helios obtain a curious alliance and friendship in the beginning, before seeking more comfort and longing towards each other due to their own circumstances. This novel is filled with tension, betrayal, and friendships, with deeper themes such as abuse, addiction, the feeling of loneliness, and the loss of innocence. In my opinion, “Icarus” was a tense and heartbreaking story with realistic situations and real life references. Icarus displayed a relatable understanding with his worries of the future, and his worries of social situations. For example, his struggles with making friends and understand...
