the Sun and the Star (a dehydrated review)

Its one of those book that gets real character thoughts and action packed at the end and when you put it down your neuron activity was like "what?"

(a/n:: THIS IS MYY FIRST REVIIEW WHAT DO I DO OO/ this is mostly my thoughts yes major event spoilers)

The story all started with Nico di Angelo, or at least when he started having repeated dream episode that got so bad he had to have daily therapy session with Dionysus. Suspecting this could be the torturous voice of Bob the Titan being trapped in Tartarus (sick name honestly would sent chill down my worst enemies), Nico and Will pack their knapsack and head down to the worst place imaginable.

insert thoughts - interfering with synopsis: the small thing that I really like about the rising action is that it's realistic. Unlike the prior book, there's no terrorizing deadline for their quest that if they don't meet it. BOOM. Nico and Will was taking a stroll in the park (or nyc subway system (without benches:<<<)) to meet Percy and Annabeth for advices.

Fast forward a couple of weeks because I benched this draft.

AND. My down to earth, honest to heaven, what people would called a 'for real' review is that: the writing was spectacular, rereading the original Percy Jackson recently I have come to appreciate Rick Riordan growth as a creative artist. As when I was frowning upon the obvious quest structure in labyrinth (the side quest were sometimes obviously so forrcceeeddd they felt like second thoughts when the editor just hey plot hole this can't happened because they didn't know this yet), In the sun and the star it was fantastic. Every side quest has gravity and necessity to reach the objective of the quest. It was really good, until they were in Tatarus (basically the entire climax, maybe the resolution?? it just wasn't satisfying) I felt like the entire satyr/centaur character was HECKLY unnecessary. It felt like my grade 5 fantasy writing assignment where I just gave up after all the sweats and tears put into the built up then end the story in one paragraph.

OH AND NYX, GOD SHE WOULD ACT IN EVERY WAY A PRIMORDIAL GODESS WOULDN'T. Her motive for causing this humbo jumbo isn't even clear. WHY WOULD THE EMBODIMENT OF DARKNESS EVEN GIVE ONE SHIT ABOUT SOME TITAN, MUCH LESS A DEMIGOD. . Wholeheartedly, this just felt like an excuse to send the to lovers to the darkest place under earth (thank you Nyx)

*rustling noise of turning another page* THANK GOD THERES CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. HIGH FIVE WRITERS. Seeing how Wills view changes about his relationship with Nico and seeing the grumpy ball of darkness opening up to human connection is such a joy to read.

When addressing any series it is important to evaluate the successor as a continuation of the of the whole thing and kudosss sun and star is the step in the right direction for the series.

tl/dr: I pick this book up for Nico and didn't regret it one bit (could be better tho!

HORRIBLE yapbabblingramble tea, an insight into that girl i guess.

well first of all,,, let us all appreciate the color grading here for a sec. they didn't have to go out of their way and make every frame as warm as summer pie but they did, thank you tetsuya nakashima.

idkk!! this movie has always been that internet underground (underground?) internet niche cult classic. kamikase girl reals tits and bits aesthetic crumbs feed my eyes well but according to trustmevro.com like, only 1 of 10 people who recognize, OMG THATS NANA, actually watch nana. brought tears to my eyes and cancer to my spleen.

kamikaze girls isnt about day in a life of a country side lolita girl. the movie is momoko's and the story revolves around her. she weaves and sown her own story instead of being a stereotype of a character in set in an environment. the movie is about momoko - the character, the character that without her frilly dress or sweat treat for dinner, without ichigo would still held up as her own person.

what i like about the film in particular is that it doesnt has any cliches, at least not the bad ones. characters doesnt chose to do something because its typical of the narratice. this leave the story unpredictable, the characters fleshed no matter how much screen time they recieve.

the artistic directions is very intentional. the entire movie is almost exclusively narrated by momoko and mostly center around her. but as watchers we hardly have any insight into her innerworkings, why she act the way she did. this is representative of how most people perceive the present: center around them, the past is cartoonish, other people are queer (pun intended?) confusing.

(EERRR GAIS!! IK THIS IS KIDNA ASS,, JUST NEED TO GET THIS OUT OF MY SYSTEM FIRST!!:p WILL. EDIT . LATER
