Rank: B Conceptually speaking, this is one of the most intriguing episodes of any series so far this season. With a single revelation, the writing adds a novel twist to the basic “transported to a game world” concept and partly upends the whole foundation of the series, while also explaining away some seeming inconsistencies inContinue reading “Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra, episode 10”

The Apothecary Diaries, episode 44
Rating: A- Before I get into the review, a bit of news.

This season I am doing that in two (possibly three) parts between now and the start of the Spring ’22 Preview Guide on 4/1, as there are a few titles I want to talk about in at least a littleContinue reading “Winter ’22 in Review part 1: In the Land of Leadale”
