6/12/2023 0 Comments At Your Service by Faith Wood![]() Even ignoring that the absolute last thing Faith needs is a man with mommy issues when she has so many parental issues herself I do think Wood has a bit of an Oedipal thing for slayers which I find icky but that’s just my theory. ![]() For all Faith’s history I think she deserves someone a ‘little. ![]() Hell no! As a fling yeah why not but more than that absolutely not. Instead I don’t think we get a single scene between Faith and the scoobies after Dirty Girls (aside from Buffy obviously) They totally ignored this, they could have had them bonding over their dark history or something. For all Buffy has the most complex history with Faith it’s actually always been Willow who was the most antagonistic towards her. Plus they actually completely ignore her relationships with Xander and Willow. ![]() Buffy/Faith have one of the most complex relationships on the show and they do address it in s7 but I always felt they could have done more with it, they really deserved a big emotional heart to heart scene - as much as I love the ‘hot chicks with superpowers’ chat and the handing of the scythe I’d have eaten up a bigger scene between them We only had her for a handful of episodes and those episodes should have been on her existing relationships, there wasn’t time to create a new one. Faith is a hugely emotional character for basically all of our main characters other than Spike. Yeah I’ve got to admit this is a large part of it as well. ![]()

It is not until “Closure” that her true fate is revealed, which debunks any other theory about what happened to Samantha Mulder. Throughout The X-Files various beings pose as Samantha to trick special agent Mulder.

Reading this through my 40 something eyes is perhaps a little different than if I would have read this 20 years ago. Mary Jennifer Payne gave me just enough information to piece together the back story. Sometimes when you start a series, you must absolutely start from the beginning to comprehend what is going on, however with Solomon’s ring, I had no problem getting into the story on book 2. On top of it all, Jasmine discovers that someone has stolen a ring with the power to control the demons, and the Final Battle between the Daughters of Light and the forces of darkness is approaching more quickly than anyone predicted. The Protectors at Beaconsfield have gathered as many Seers as possible, as the countries that haven’t been destroyed by climate change are starting to close their borders. As Seers, the sisters are being hunted by demons spilling through the rift, and the city is on high alert against terrorist threats. ![]() Twin sisters Jade and Jasmine are finally together after a five-year separation, but there’s no time to enjoy the reunion. ![]() In the second book of the Daughters of Light series, the demon-hunted Seers are in a race against time to return a stolen ring. ![]() Welcome to the third stop on the Somolon’s Ring blog tour !! My review will follow the publisher’s blurb: ![]() ![]() ![]() The title is German for "Elf Song" and takes its name from the poem " Elfenlied".Įlfen Lied revolves around the interactions, views, emotions, and differences between humans and the Diclonius, a mutant species similar to humans in build but distinguishable by two horns on their head and "vectors", transparent telekinetically controlled arms that have the power to manipulate and cut objects within their reach. In 2005, a special original video animation, written to occur between the tenth and eleventh episodes of the series, was released. ![]() ![]() The anime started before the manga was complete as a result, the plot differed between the two, especially towards the ending of the story. A thirteen-episode anime television series adaptation based on the manga was produced by the studio ARMS and broadcast on TV Tokyo from July to October 2004 the anime was later licensed in North America on DVD by ADV Films.

Now that we'd gotten to know the hero and what he's up against, instead of showing how he surmounts the odds, we have to start all over again with a handsome, clever, and strong but self-serving pirate whose mission is to betray the nice geeky mad scientist. Switching to the pirate's point of view was both jarring and disappointing. ![]() Pacing was lackadaisical in the beginning, but really hit its stride in the battles. The secondary characters, for the most part, fell into neat tropes. The main characters, a warrior and a pirate, didn't have deep feelings-nor were they terribly unique. I liked the writing: descriptive, fast, action sequences and complex tactics-which is what military sci-fi is all about-and crisp dialogue. ![]() ![]() The science was never explained to my satisfaction-in fact, the science of Transit was never explained. Military sci-fi w/powered armor suits and mindless giant ants. ![]() |
