The War of Virtue




I take special interest in new authors and in what they have to tell. I think every new generation has a story to tell and, unfortunately, you can’t always find these books, mostly thanks to publisher’s interests. 

This one in particular I found thanks to my husband, who knows the author. Kristofer Young designs a story around the classical fight between good and evil and in a mere couple of pages you are anxious to know what comes next.

Here you can find vivid battle scenes with perfect descriptions. You can easily visualize each word and sentence, in front of your eyes, and, for me, this is absolutely the best part of his work.

The story is interesting and it’s far from being just about war, as it’s a love story as well as a story about friendship, one that talks about nobility, loyalty and which has charismatic and even altruistic characters, sacrificing themselves for a better world.

As a reader I would like to know a bit more about some of the secondary characters and their lives before the events described in the book. Not that it would be very important to the story, but I think it would be a gain for the book, none the less. This only attests to how interested I got in the world itself, and that alone should give merit to the author!

Another good point of reading a book like this is the fact that you will frequently be surprised or caught off-guard. There is a time when everything looks fine and the problem looks resolved, but you then find you’re not even halfway through the book yet. It’s irresistible for you to keep reading and find out what happens next.

You can find this book at Amazon.com in its kindle edition and I would totally recommend you do so! Very much worth a read!

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting. ...

Young Sheldon – A Heartfelt and Hilarious Journey

  Young Sheldon is a delightful surprise, blending humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia. As a prequel to The Big Bang Theory , the show offers insight into the childhood of Sheldon Cooper, one of the most iconic characters in modern TV.  A Show That Grows Beyond Sheldon While you may start watching due to curiosity about Sheldon's early years, it soon becomes clear that this is not just about his childhood. The show includes an incredible variety of characters with their own charm and depth. Mary (Sheldon's religious yet compassionate mother), George (his often misunderstood father), and his siblings, Missy and Georgie, are all given their own moments to shine.  The cast and their chemistry make this show stand out. You start to care about each character's struggles and triumphs. This show quickly stands on its own as a heartfelt, family-driven sitcom. Especially in its last seasons, the show becomes a touching portrayal of small-town life, family dynamics, and persona...

House of the Dragon: Season 2 - a Matter of Good Characters

  As a fan of the original Game of Thrones , I approached the second season of House of the Dragon with high hopes. Unfortunately, I found it a bit boring compared to its predecessor.  The intricate political drama and the rich character development that made Game of Thrones a global phenomenon seem to be lacking here. Still, the show features some compelling characters who hold my interest. Daemon Targaryen Daemon Targaryen remains one of the most intriguing characters in the series. Although his arc in this season isn't as strong as before, he still commands the screen with his charisma and unpredictability.  Daemon's complex personality, oscillating between villainy and heroism, keeps viewers guessing his true intentions. His relationship with Rhaenyra and his struggle for power add depth to his character. He is, no doubt, a central figure in the unfolding drama. Aemond Targaryen Aemond steps into the spotlight in the second season, bringing a new level of intensity ...
