The Finder of the Lucky Devil by Megan Mackie Review/No spoilers.


       The Finder of the Lucky Devil is a book by Megan Mackie that was released May, 29, 2017, and takes place in a futuristic society where magic and technology go hand in hand. It is the story of Rune who owns a bar called The Lucky Devil, and she is trying to find jobs to pay off mortgage. But, then she meets St. Benedict who wants to find someone, who is her.
       This book is very nice and would make a great series. This is a great introduction, and Rune is a good main character. She is rather easy to relate to, in my opinion, and she is in a tight spot. If you are someone who is having a bad time right now, she is a character that they need. I won't spoil her past, but you can learn everything you need in the Prologue, it is possibly the only prologue I actually read through and got me excited for the book.
       The next main character is St. Benedict. He is a sly person, who is considerable one of my favorite characters in the book. If people like characters who are completely honest. He will literally tell you that he will kill you. He is also kind of cybernetic, which adds to the future feel of the book. He just enters the scene meaning business. And, we only learn a few things about him in the book.
        Next, is the villains, which I just have to say meh. The lady, who I believe is never really named, is kind of terrifying. Another villain, mostly for St. Benedict, is another Saint, but let me tell you. This is just a title given to them to show they are high in what they do, they won't hesitate to murder you if you get in their way, if a saint in your opinion is someone who is pure, kind, and won't sin, then you are wrong.
       Another good thing with this book is that it sets up a universe. With fallen Faerie Courts, to learning of how they identify each other with technology. Showing both the use of technology and magic in the society.
       One of the low points, I suppose, is the villains, for some reason I wanted more from the lady, and more about her point of view, and more on the others.
        But, if you enjoy fantasy and (or) technology themed books. This is the one for. I rate it 9/10. It is a great read and I'll post a spoilers review later. Bye~

Favorite Food, I Guess.

               So, yesterday for class we discussed foods that we would like to eat. We also talked about what we would want for our best meal. It didn't take me that long to pick what I wanted for a dream meal because I was thinking about it for a really long time. For the fact that I was hungry.               I wouldn't get an appetizer because I just don't like appetizers. But, for the main course I have a nice lovely plan for it. I would have sushi, I like sushi. Inside the sushi would be, of course, rice, avocado, and eel maki. There would be a sweet sauce on top, along with soy sauce on the side.               Another part of the meal would be a nice lovely steak. I love steak, especially well-done steak. Along with potato wedges, or fries maybe.               Then, for desert. I always wanted to have ice cream cake. I have never have...

My Childhood Toy

        Another blog post for school, yay.......         When I was a little kid in my home state of Mississippi, things were always just okay back then. I'd always watch VHS tapes, I didn't really watched TV.          But, one day when I was in Kindergarten, I went to the usual discount store that you can find in any small town. It was where you could find antiques on a low price, along with other things like stuffed dolls, broken down bikes, and more. But, when we were there that day. I found a My Little Pony bag filled with original toy ponies, but it wasn't just 1 or 10. There were more than 30.          I was really excited, very excited. I went to my grandparents and showed it to them. They were surprised to find that it was on a really good discount, so they got it for me.          Since that day I played with those ponies, and got more later. Some were from new...

STAR WARS THE LAST JEDI REVIEW

       I watched it during Winter Break, and oh boy did this movie bring such a lovely stir. Some people hated it, other people loved it. On other notes I suppose I will have to look into my own little review of Episode 8 of the Star Wars Saga, the Last Jedi.            This is a no spoiler review, of course, and I will only give insight into the basic things not main story lines.         The story basically picks up right after the Force Awakens , with Rey on a planet with Luke Skywalker, the original hero of the first three movies. This movie has moments when Luke tries to teach Rey the ways of the force, but refuses many times. I honestly think the time on the planet with all the very odd things on it was my favorite part of the whole movie, other than Mark Hamill.          Mark Hamill plays Luke Skwalker, but unlike past movies. Luke is hardened by the failure with Kylo Len(AKA Ben...
