Guys, guys. #Mixtape is an 7/10.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXhc5jeEyZs
Is a vanagloried visual-novel, with very good presentation, as interactive as watching a movie with a pause/play button.
Visual novels are niche. Mixtape is not transformative, but reminescent, and it's good at re-evoking those feelings of old.
But a 10/10? Mixtape ain't no Ocarina of Time.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
Hello beautiful people! Welcome to a new review! For this review, I get into Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, a highly beloved and talked-about science fiction novel. Now, personally, I am not much of a science fiction gal, so I really wasn’t sure what I was going to think. I ended up really enjoying the book (science and math stuff aside) and found the world and the characters to have really shone through, making it such an enjoyable read.
Main Characters:
Ryland Grace: Such an unexpectedly great main character. He’s smart (obviously), but not in an intimidating way. He questions things, messes up, figures it out, and brings a lot of personality to what could’ve been a super technical story. He made this book so much more approachable and, honestly, really fun to follow.
Rocky: I won’t say too much because it’s better to experience it, but one of the best parts of the book. The dynamic here is something I did not expect, and it adds so much heart, humour, and depth to the story.
Eva Stratt: The scientist who creates the mission that Grace goes on often butts heads with Grace on their ideas, but in a respectful, professional way.
My Review
As mentioned, I went into Project Hail Mary not really knowing what I was getting into or if I would like it. I did not expect to love this as much as I did. Sci-fi isn’t usually my go-to, and anything involving heavy math, science, or engineering? Also not my thing. So I went into this a little hesitant, but this book makes it so accessible. I didn’t really understand those aspects of the book, but I also didn’t feel like I needed to to really grasp what was going on in the story. You can feel the characters’ emotions, and that often showed me more than the science and math did. I rated Project Hail Mary a 9/10 rating, and would totally recommend it to people like me who don’t usually check out science fiction, or aren’t usually drawn to those types of stories.
In Project Hail Mary, we follow Ryland Grace when he wakes up alone on a spaceship with no memory of who he is or how he got there. As his memory slowly returns, he realizes he’s on a mission to save Earth from a catastrophic threat that could wipe out all life. As he pieces together what’s happening, the story jumps between past and present, showing how the mission came to be, and how Grace ended up being humanity’s last hope. Along the way, unexpected connections form, and the scope of the mission becomes even bigger than initially imagined. We, the readers, are spun a gorgeous world in space through the eyes of someone who never expected to be up there.
So yes, due to the plot of the book and Grace’s role in it, the book includes a lot of science, math and engineering. Yes, there’s complex problem-solving. But I never felt like I needed to fully understand every detail to stay engaged. The way it’s written keeps things clear enough that you can follow along without getting lost, which made a huge difference for me and how I was pulled into the book. What really pulled me in was how the story unfolded. The connections that are made throughout, especially the ones you don’t see coming, are so well done. It takes things in directions I never would’ve expected, and it just works.
And Grace as a character? Loved him. He carries the story in such a natural way, and you actually enjoy being in his head as everything unravels. He makes the high-stakes, end-of-the-world mission feel personal and grounded.
I will say, it’s a little unsettling how some of the issues in this book don’t feel that far off from real life. Like, it’s sci-fi, but also, not entirely? That added an extra layer of tension for me.
The space aspect was also just really cool. It’s such an out-of-reach concept for most of us, and I loved getting to fully dive into that world and go along for the ride. It felt immersive without being overwhelming.
And the ending? So good. It wrapped things up in a way that felt satisfying and meaningful, which isn’t always easy with a story this big.
I’m also really curious to see how the movie adaptation turns out, whether it sticks close to the book or switches things up a bit.
Overall, this completely surprised me in the best way. Super engaging, surprisingly emotional, and just a really fun (and slightly terrifying) ride through space.

From Wrath to Envy: A Grudge, A Throne, and a Very Worth-It Ride
A Review of Throne of the Fallen by Kerri Maniscalco
I was a BIG fan of Kerri Maniscalco’s work in the Kingdom of the Wicked series. Emilia and Wrath were a top book couple for me for a while– their banter and Wrath’s passion made for such a great story. I loved Wrath so much that I was delighted to find out she was going to explore the other Princes of Sin in a new series.
I actually picked up Throne of the Fallen while browsing Barnes & Noble, and a woman literally stopped me and said, “If you loved her previous work, you’re going to love this one.” With a live, on-the-spot recommendation like that.. how could I ignore a fellow bibliophile?
Going in, I had no intention thinking this would be a “popcorn read.” It was not what I expected coming off of Kingdom of the Wicked. But as I kept reading, I was delighted– in the best way.
Prince Envy and Camilla’s story was incredibly refreshing. In a fantasy world where the stakes are often sky-high, it was nice to see love unfold through a series of clues and games. Don’t get me wrong– the stakes are still there throughout the novel– but at the beginning of their relationship, things don’t feel as heavy. And honestly? That worked really well.
I was incredibly nevous about Maniscalco starting with Envy. All of the brothers are wicked in their own ways, but Envy was a character I didn’t have much fondness for in the earlier books– especially after what he did to Emilia and her family. Yes, I know it served the plot, but readers can also hold grudges.
It was going to take a lot more than a love with Camilla to bring me back around, Leviaethan. But you know what did bring me back around?
THE THRONE SCENE!!! I think I can safely say the “throne trope” is my favorite. And the added mirror bonus? Yeah… that did something to me. The way Camilla purposefully created a moment for him to look back on? I was like—- alright baby, I’m taking notes!!!
Overall, this was such a refreshing romantic fantasy read. In a genre where the stakes can sometimes feel overwhelming, it was nice to have something that still felt high-stakes, but in a more playful, almost scavenger-hunt kind of way– and I loved it!
I loved this from Maniscalco, and I cannot wait to read Throne of Secrets.
3.75 / 5 Stars

intentionally adding #bugs into #code to check if the #reviewer discovers them.
if the reviewer does not find them, then their #review is questionable.
of course the added bugs should be removed before merging ;-)I am wondering if a concept like this already exists ...
