Imperial Phase, Part I by Kieron Gillen
4.0
4.5***
Definitely one of the best in the series.
The first issue's magazine format really gives it a unique touch. And it got me thinking that the creators should really aim to write some sort of prose book in the series; the narrative was excellent.
Then we go back to the original graphic novel format and find ourselves with the aftermath of the last tragic event.
Our gods are trying to search for meaning given they are now living their last year. Will they really die? Or will they not?
Some gods get more attention, like Persephone; and I love what they are doing with her. Same with the Nords and Amaterasu with her "shin-two". 😂
This volume had a good balance of fast moving and slow paced scenes that had me reading all the time.
But right up until the last issue, Wic Div did what it does best, and that is confusing the storyline. The characters get a little tangled up and the scenes seem a little too over the place. Nonetheless that last two pages change a lot and give you something to hold on to until the next volume, Imperial Phase Part 2.

Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
5.0
Everyone who has befriended me knows how much I adore the thriller/mystery genre. And Agatha Christie had written a jewel I had yet to discover until now.
This had my heart racing, and it had me smiling with Poirot's quirkiness and fantastical detective skills.
I loved all the characters and all their stories aboard the Calais Coach.
And I usually deduct most of plot twists, but now I know why they call her The Queen of Mystery.
Definitely now one of my favorites.
I'm already looking for inspiration to get a tattoo based on it.
