Last week’s episode of The Clone Wars has yielded some interesting discussions. Check out Megan’s review to see her reaction to “The Box.” We’re both enjoying the arc.

REVIEW: Star Wars: Shadow Games

January 4, 2012January 4, 2012 Fangirl 2 Comments Del Rey, EU, Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff, Megan Crouse, Michael Reaves, review, Star Wars

I have to admit that some part of me felt like I should read Shadow Games, but it came down to an issue of priorities, and this book just wasn’t making the cut. Then one of those unexpected emails popped up in my inbox from a reader who has made thoughtful commentary in response to some of my blogs. Megan’s review of Shadow Games will be the first of hopefully many more contributions.
