Agatha All Along: Nine Episodes Down the Witches’ Road
My Agatha All Along review: every episode of the Witches’ Road, the coven, Rio, Billy and the ending. Some real magic in places, but it didn’t work for me.

A review of The Path of Ascension 7 by C. Mantis, and why the endless dungeon delve through Minkalla left this reader wondering what the series is actually building toward.
My WandaVision recap, all nine episodes: the sitcom decades, Agnes next door, the Hex, the two Visions and the cabin. Still the best Marvel show on Disney+.
Dune Messiah picks up twelve years after Paul takes the throne. A short, airless second book, and the one place this series leaves me wanting more.
A review of The Dungeon Phoenix, Book 4 of Konrad Ryan’s Dungeon Slayer series, and why the grind is starting to wear on this reader more than the series wants it to.
Dune by Frank Herbert, revisited as the new film lands. Half of this universe could actually happen, and the other half is pure fantasy in a stillsuit.
Betrayed By The Hero’s Party Book 2 takes the cozy LitRPG idea I liked in book one and stretches it until there’s nothing left. I nearly didn’t finish.
A review of Ascension, Book 5 of RinoZ’s Book of the Dead series. Tyron’s power spikes, the Realm of the Dead pays off, and the ending is a genuine gut-punch.
I Summoned Their Replacements takes the same betrayed-by-the-party hook and does something different with it. Rough edges, great dungeons, and I loved it.
A review of Mark of the Fool Book 4 by J.M. Clarke, where Alex Roth hits the actual limits of his power and has to find his own way around them.
The Eye of the Bedlam Bride gives Carl closure on his father and makes Samantha great, but the card battles didn’t work for me. My DCC book 6 review.
A review of Beyond the Rift by John Ringo and Lydia Sherrer. The series finale sticks the landing, mostly, then runs out of pages to close it properly.
A review of Behind the Veil by John Ringo and Lydia Sherrer. Book three is where the alien plot finally pays off, and it’s the best entry yet.
The last post in the Doomsday rewatch. A separate universe, a frightened Reed Richards and a child on the board all turn out to be exactly the point.
A review of Mark of the Fool Book 3 by J.M. Clarke, where the Games of Roal tournament arc delivers real stakes instead of the filler it could have been.
Rewatching Thunderbolts before Avengers Doomsday, where the team holding the Avengers name and the most powerful character in the MCU are both unsolved problems.
Rewatching Captain America Brave New World ahead of Avengers Doomsday, where the adamantium subplot finally looks like deliberate setup rather than filler.
Rewatching Deadpool and Wolverine before Avengers Doomsday, where the Fox handover and one Comic-Con announcement turned out to matter far more than the plot.
Rewatching The Marvels before Avengers Doomsday. Marvel put its first real step toward the X-Men crossover at the end of its least-watched film.
Betrayed By The Hero’s Party has a lovely cozy LitRPG concept and prose that reads like it came out of a machine. Both of those things are true at once.
Rewatching Loki season 2 before Avengers Doomsday. He is the reason the multiverse still exists, and nobody has mentioned him in three years.
