January Reviews

Anime

Soul Eater
****
Maka and Soul are on the journey to become Lord Death's Scythe, and also attend school at Death Weapon Meister Academy (DWMA) founded by Lord Death himself. The school is chuck full of crazy students, including the self centered Black Star and his partner Tsubaki, Lord Death's OCD son, Death the Kid with his two partners, Patty and Liz. A mad scientist of a teacher, Maka's loving father who is now going through the divorce and also an evil witch named Medusa.

Aside from the artwork which I had trouble with, this series and story is amazing, the characters are full of life and crazy as hell. There is so much fun watching and also the story is simply out of this world. I recommend it and give it the tradition 4 star rating.

Books
Eldest
By Christopher Paolini
*****
Eragon has gone through a lot and fighting the shade is only part of the quest. He soon finds himself sent toward the Elves to start his Rider training with an elder Rider who has been hiding among the elves for centuries. Many of the problems that are starting to show with his cousin's return to the home village to find his father dead, his cousin, Eragon missing, and enemies closing in.

This series is a cliff hanger of a book, completing it can be a chore, but the story is still amazing and fun to read. The writing is still a challenge for those who never were able to read British styled English and also the language creation, but in all, it is still a great book and I would recommend it to anyone.
