Deadpool Classic, Vol. 9 by Gail Simone, UDON Studios
5.0
I’ve been rereading all the Deadpool Classics lately and I think this might be one of my favorite collections. Hits the right mix of absurdity and seriousness that makes the character a favorite of mine. The Rhino storyline is *chef’s kiss.*

Compelling dialogue and heroes. More character development than you often see in fantasy but that’s what I expect from Brandon Sanderson.
The main character undergoes some really believable growth and while much of the supporting cast are really one dimensional seeing them through the eyes of a self absorbed hero (anti-hero?) and teenager it’s forgivable. We often perceive only one aspect of other people’s personalities. Especially when caught up in something intense.
The worldbuilding is great, the magic system interesting and different.
And I love that it’s a complete story. Will I be reading the next book in the series? Yes. But do I feel like I HAVE to in order to finish the story? Definitely not. Egressing for the genre.

Fairy Tale by Stephen King

Excellent! Worth doing as an audiobook, the narration is fantastic.
A dog. A reluctant hero. A story that holds together towards the end better than Stephen King’s work typically does. What more could you ask for?

I’m so enamored of Mary Roach’s writing style that I will immediately read everything else she’s ever written. I don’t even care what it’s about.
