[Book Review] “Keeping You A Secret”, by Julie Anne Peters.
Well, that hit pretty close to home. Honestly, when I started listening to ‘Keeping You A Secret’ (by Julie Ann Peters) via Audible, I was only expecting another cute lesbian story to relax to. Even reading the description after I already finished the book would make it seem that way. But nope, that wasn’t the case as the book got so emotional that it even brought back some of my own personal unwelcomed memories, but not without also leaving a heartfelt impression on me. Now before I get into details, I must advise that this review IS NOT spoiler-free, even if I don’t go into everything. Sorries! Predictable Beginning. Starting off, I would say my biggest criticism of the book would be its rather boring and cliche start. i would even argue that it borders on filler. Holland Jageaur, the protagonist, is seen by her…
The Goals of Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay’s Enemies Make No Sense.
Otherwise, it was a great movie. This is a bit different from what I usually write here on Bethania Arts. In case some of you don’t know, it’s not often I watch movies. My passion is gaming so my free time goes there. But when I do watch movies, I tend to watch those of the superhero genre, especially the ones of the DC Animated Universe. I’m not really here to give an in-depth review of the Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay movie, but regardless, I’ll give my opinion on it. First off, I would say it’s definitely one of my favourite DC Animated movies. You get a lot of fan favourite villians, emotional tension that develops characters like Deadshot, and to make it all better, the animation quality is top-notch. Overall, I would give it a lenient five out of five stars. But don’t…
[Book Review] A Girl Named Adam (By Jordan J. Scavone)
The Power of Gender and Friendship. “A Girl Named Adam” by Jordon J. Scavone is different from the books I usually review on here, thus I’m not too familiar with the criteria that make for a good children’s book. Nonetheless, as a fellow writer, I was able to spot the book’s numerous high points. As a trans person, I looked for anything that may have come off as misrepresentation. However, the truth is, I hardly found anything that was done poorly by this book. You can even say that A Girl Named Adam is near perfect in storytelling, artwork and its cause. Story Since I want to make this as spoiler-free as possible, I’ll keep details to a minimum. This is an interesting one because the book tells the story from the perspective of the trans kid’s friend. Usually, you would find storybooks with LGBT…
Far Cry 5’s ending: A Lesson In ‘How Not To End A Game’.
There is no amount of words that can really express how upsetting its ending is. Far Cry 5’s ending is so frustratingly bad that I had to write this essay separate from my review of Far Cry 5 because there’s just so much wrong with it and so much to dissect that it would make my review of the game unnecessarily long. Let’s start at the point where you have finished killed all three of Joseph’s lieutenants. It should be obvious that there is going to be spoilers for Far Cry 5 here, so if you haven’t played it yet, now would be a good time to before you proceed with this essay. Done? Good, then let’s begin. Joseph’s sudden character change. During the game, once you have killed a lieutenant, Joseph would appear to remorse for his fallen family member and how a…
