The End

After two years I'm coming out with another blog post, but I'm starting a fresh with my efforts- So here's a link to all you dear people that glance my wandering way~  It's called Finger Tingling, and it's going to be random stuff that comes from my fingers tingling and wanting to write. I hope you enjoy your day, and that you don't cry over this very last post here. My Wanderings has had a good life. Don't cry too hard.

Redemption's Love is written like...

I write like
Stephenie Meyer

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

I put the first two scenes of Redemption's love in for that?! *Insert girl weeping*

I didn't like that so I put in more... And got this!

I write like
William Shakespeare

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

Much improved. =D

Another Blog

I started another blog in attempt to keep this one on topic of creative writing and the like. So here's the url for it: http://contests-besm.blogspot.com/

Book Review - Curses ~ AKA Curse of the Spider King

Curse of the Spider King is written by Wanye Thomas Batson and Christoper Hopper and is the first book of the series, The Berinfell Prophecies.
Mr. Batson has previous written the bestselling The Door Within Trilogy, as well as Isle of Swords and Isle of Fire, respectively, which are in the same series, but, to my knowledge, they lack a series tittle. (If someone can correct me about that I would gladly appreciate it.) Christoper Hopper has written The White Lion Chronicles, which include Rise of Dibor, The Lion Vire, and, soon Athera’s Dawn.

Summary:
*Taken from the back of the book*



Will Anyone Escape the wrath of the Spider King?
The Spider King's minions ate crossing from Allyra to Earth to hunt for seven unsuspecting thirteen-year-olds, who are royalty from a foreign world. Stopped once by an ancient curse, the dark forces are determined to finish the job. The Seven's only hope for survival is a remnant of exiled Elves intent on restoring their kingdom- but can they be trusted?

Navigating the tangled web of the Spider King, the teens must make a perilous choice: Go to Allyra and face an uncertain destiny; or remain on Earth and risk the lives of the ones they love.


PROS:

• The Characters: Big assortment, you're going to at lest one that you like. Kiri Lee, Charlie (Merrick), Edward, and Travin, being the some of the few that I like.

• Setting: Lovely, I just loved it.
• Story: Seems like a good plot they have going on...
  

CONS:

But this book was too short for me to know for sure, I'll have to read Venom and Song, Book two in the series to see if it's any good, because the cliff hanger ending- which some could label not the best because of its sudden cut off. Venom and Song will that either redemn that end or put a curse on it.

I was hoping that since it was Christian Fantasy I was going to get more mentioning of Ellos (Human word would be God) and that the characters would reflect His goodness... That's why I pick up Christian Fiction of any kind, so that was a let down...

At one point I though they had lost Autumn and Johnny... (After all I had lost them as well!) They didn't, mind you, but spacing could have fixed that, or even just adding what happened to Nelly...


Overall:

Decent first book for the series, would have wanted it longer if not just get the heroes to the safe spot, that way we have the characters relax, and give them a chance to mention a thanks to Ellos, or to get the firm story (Like what they have to do to get rid of the Spider King), because I felt that Curse of the Spider King (CotSK) was just the set up to everything else, unfortunately. But there was nothing that I can see done to fix it other then make the book longer which, with its intended audience, would have been a badish thing. (I mean I would like it, so it's only an ish. ;) )
Venom and Song will be the driving force that either makes me love this series or cause it to be an ish sort of series. But so far a thumbs up, the characters, the names of everything and everyone, good beginning so far.

Sidelights

To celebrate the release of Venom and Song, the authors are having a contest to stir up excitement about it, with really cool prizes as well. You check out the Tribe Building Contest here: http://enterthedoorwithin.blogspot.com/2010/05/tribe-building-contest-begins-now.html Really sweet contest in my opinion! I've joined (I mean this is the book that book that determines with or not I stick with Kiri and Char-Mer-Charrick! =D ) and I'm part of Swiftstorm! Huzzah! If you want to join me and Swiftstorm email Seth, the tribe leader, at smr411(at)gmail(dot)com, otherwise you can join one of the other tribes located at heedtheprophecies.com, the website for the book series, just look and ask around and your sure to find a tribe that will take you! Like Swiftstorm! =D Leave a commit if you do, please, or locate me on the Underground, other wise I may fear that I'm talking to myself... =D

Their also having a Amazon Blitz on June 22, which is a good way to get points if your Tribe Building as well.

Endurance and Victory!!
*Crickets*

You'll get it later!

Random Stuff

I was on a media fast for the last week, and I'm going to do that again sometime soon...

I'm polishing up the blog to find the way that I like it.

And I'm working on my stories as well, so there should be something to post on here soon.

Same goes with the book reviews.

See you with a decent post some time soon! =D

Pages.

I added pages for my sanity (XD I still have that?!?!? No!!!) and for ease of finding the major posts.

Apologizes

Due to lack of the good transitioning of the short works that I was planing to post, nothing's been posted. So I'm going to instead post a scene from Redemption's Story (Tentative tittle) (which is also the story that Illogical was taken from) which will most likely be about what happened before Illogical, although we'll find out together...

I'm also going to work posting book reviews on here as well... But I have yet to decide wiether or not it all be on one blog or not... So if you have an opinion about that, I'm listening...
