Spoilers ahead, maybe. 4/5 Thor Ragnarok Summary: Fun and weird. Some pretty sad and twisted stuff happens, but it’s no Game of Thrones in terms of grim factor.

4/5 Start to a Larger Epic Tale Summary: Devarius and a rag-tag band of refugees flee oppression at the hands of the evil empire. For years, the Resistance has bided its time, trying to build, hide, and build some more. Devarius and crew just might give them the edge they need to rise up…
3/5 stars Interesting Twist on Boy Learns he has Cool Gifts Summary: Sam’s dead (not a spoiler, that’s in the blurb). He goes to a place called Havona to learn the secrets of the universe. You’ll have to forgive my lack of details. I’m partly trying to avoid spoilers and it’s been a while since…
