![]() Bloody Rose is a sequel to Kings of the Wyld, but at the same time it stands well enough on its own merits– a lucky thing too, as Bloody Rose was at the library but the first one wasn’t for whatever reason. (Which isn’t to say it can’t be done, but I digress).īloody Rose is actually the second book in Eames’ The Band series, which … technically is about multiple different bands, but that’s just quibbling. After all, it’s a lot easier to write a song about dragons than it is to capture the raw transcendence of a great musical performance in print. ![]() Heavy Metal may be the nerdiest of music genres.įantasy imagery has been baked into the genre from the beginning, ranging from ‘picture of a dude with a sword on the cover’ to ‘we wrote a concept album about the Silmarillion.’ However, apart from some spiky heavy metal imagery about vikings and stuff, the influence doesn’t go both ways. ![]() Book Review: Bloody Rose, by Nicholas Eames ![]()

This is actually a pretty big deal to me because Marvel is pimping the hell out of Guardians because of that new film coming out next year and this will just be another step to legitimise– what? There’s another member joining the team? Who? It’s a secret? Then why do I care? Oh, right, presumably we’re supposed to speculate the identity of this mystery “superstar” until it’s inevitably spoiled far too early and everyone’s disappointed. What I’m trying to say is that Captain Marvel will be joining Bendis’ “Guardians Of The Galaxy” as of Marvel’s 2014 FCBD issue. So you know what would be really cool? If they were like… together. You know what else is pretty cool? “Guardians Of The Galaxy”. She punches dinosaurs and doesn’t afraid of anything. You know who I love? I love Captain Marvel. ![]() ![]() ![]() “ heady mix of magic, myth, fantasy, and social commentary, from a politically left Jewish feminist perspective. from a writer of significant talent and promise.”- Kirkus “History and fairy tales are reimagined, repurposed, and remixed in this intriguing debut story collection.

Her first novel, Slammed, was self-published in 2012, but it wasn’t until 2021 that her books really started popping off worldwide, and since then her fan base, which has dubbed itself the CoHorts, has grown in both number and level of devotion. While there are “overnight success” elements to Hoover’s career arc, her popularity has been years in the making. She is the best-selling author in America now and likely for the foreseeable future. Even if you’ve never read a Colleen Hoover book, chances are you’ve seen one - if not on a bookstore or library shelf, then perhaps on the New York Times Best-Seller List (more than half of the top-ten titles in paperback fiction bear her name) or on TikTok (where her readers regularly work themselves into an emotional frenzy). ![]() ![]() The show contains haze, strobe lighting, the use of nicotine free vaping and smoking a herbal cigarette.
