A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

The Death of Sleep (Bloodborne Vol. 1) - Ales Kot, Illustrated by Piotr Kowalski

I've always had a soft spot for the Bloodborne franchise. That might sound kind of strange, considering how dark and somewhat enigmatic the overall story of it seems to be, but I yam what I yam. I can't even really pinpoint what exactly draws me to it.

I've had my eye on these graphic novels for a while, and when Amazon had a buy 3 for 2, I got the box set that contains volumes 1-3. It sounds like they're all separate stories, so I'm going to review them separately.

The story of the first volume revolves mostly around the hunter and his internal fight against the dream. He is aware that he's dealing with the same things over and over, but he isn't really aware of how, or what to do about changing his situation. A small child may provide the answer, but they're going to have to escape the city of Yharnam.

I really liked this novel. I need to make sure to give the illustrators more credit when I'm reading these graphic novels. The art in this was 100% amazing. The book brought back elements of the game and gave them an interesting story. I loved it. Next up is The Healing Thirst. 

I'm still trying to muddle through my Kindle book, but I am making progress. My goal is to reward myself for making progress in that book by reading one of these. On the surface it sounds like I should give up on the Kindle book, but you'll have to wait for the review on that one to find out why I'm hanging in there. Anyway, this graphic novel easily earns a Good Book! review. My only regret is not buying it sooner!
