I've been spending the past few days reading "Orphans of Chaos" by John C. Wright,
the first book in a trilogy. As far as books go, I'm a general fan of fantasy and
science fiction, and Orphans actually scratches both itches.
The book stars five young people - two girls and three boys - who are basically
imprisoned in a school in Britain. Now, at the start, things don't seem all that
unusual from most British tales - kids being imprisoned seems to be standard
in
Britain.
We quickly learn that the kids are more than they seem, as
is their situation. Normally I'd got into more details about the who's
and what's and who got what powers, but really, I enjoyed
learning what was going on as the kids did.
So basically, if you're looking for something new to read (and I know my brother is) then
hey, check this series out. There's a whimsy to the writing that I absolutely
adore. The chapters are also broken up into smaller chapters, which makes reading
feel really easy. Don't have a lot of time? Read one section or two.
Easy stopping place! It's a pretty small thing, but I enjoyed it.
I took most of Thursday off from SoS. Like I said, I finished Orphans and got caught
up on my anime - new eps of K-On!!, Sekimatsu Occult Gakuen, and Highschool of the Dead.
Oh, and an ep of Futurama thrown in for some english.
The only thing I really got accomplished was doing page layouts for
most of Issue 10. Got up to page 17! Yeah!
Got something to say? You think YOU'RE a fan? Then head on over to the SoS facebook page
and prove it punk: LINK |
