In which I have new eyeballs, and you meet my brother's cat (Chalice review)

So, I decided to do something a little different.  I've been wanting to do some video reviews for awhile now, and I decided I really should do some to help me catch up, so I finally sat down and recorded one.
In it, aside from the usual rambly nonsense, you get to see my pretty new eyeballz (purple! rhinestones!), as well as Tie, my brother's cat.
It's a little longer than I would have liked, but that was partly due to kitty antics; in future, I want to aim for 5-6 minute reviews -- that sound like a good length to you guys?  Let me know what you think, and whether you want more vid reviews.
Enjoy, and thanks for watching!




About the book:
Chalice
by Robin McKinley


Beekeeper Marisol has been chosen as the new Chalice, destined to stand beside the Master and mix the ceremonial brews that hold the Willowlands together. But the relationship between Chalice and Master has always been tumultuous, and the new Master is unlike any before him.

  2. "Don't skim them, actually do slog through them." Haha that's awesome! I will keep that in mind and I do believe that sentence will plague me whenever I'm tempted to skim... ;)

  3. =D

    You HAVE to slog! It may be painful at times, but you have to get the build up and get into Marisol's head. And there are so many little subtle things you'd miss otherwise.

    Damn, I should have said that in the video.
