Robin (Bridge Four)'s review
of
The First Fall (Incryptid, #0.07):
"This was actually a little bit brutal.
It is probably really difficult to write grief for the death of a child. It is definitely really difficult to read that grief as well. I couldn't help but feel the pain of the entire Healy family and the mice..." Read more of this review » |

"3.5
I've just realised I never wrote anything about this book. After reading many stories from this genre I've decided to change the rating for all the books I've read. They are much better than I previously thought. As long as you accept the paran..." Read more of this review » |

"3.5
Runa Wagner is cursed and blames one of the demons for that. Desire Unchained adds another level to an already interesting world. It also adds more factions into the mix. I'm not sure if I'll read this again, but I do remember how much fun I ha..." Read more of this review » |

Olmec Obituary (Dr Pimms, Intermillennial Sleuth, #1)

For some reason did not expect Olmec Obituary to take place in present time. I thought it would take place at the beginning of the 20th century. It's odd how a cover and the blurb can make you expect something else than what you get. I'm actually a bi ...more |

“If there is a thing I truly despise, it is being addressed as "dearie." When I write my magnum opus, A Treatise Upon All Poison, and come to "Cyanide," I am going to put under "Uses" the phrase "Particularly efficacious in the cure of those who call one 'Dearie.”

“There are many perks to living for twenty-one centuries, and foremost among them is bearing witness to the rare birth of genius. It invariably goes like this: Someone shrugs off the weight of his cultural traditions, ignores the baleful stares of authority, and does something his countrymen think to be completely batshit insane. Of those, Galileo was my personal favorite. Van Gogh comes in second, but he really was batshit insane.”

“My mind has touched the farthest horizons of mortal imagination and reaches ever outward to embrace infinity. There is no knowledge beyond my comprehension, no art or skill upon this entire planet that lies beyond the mastery of my hand. And yet, like Faust, I look in vain, I learn in vain. . . . For as long as I live, no woman will ever look on me in love.”

“Monty Python is like catnip for nerds. Once you get them started quoting it, they are constitutionally incapable of feeling depressed.”
