For those of you not familiar with … Continue reading Foreshadowing Ciel’s Revenge: Kuroshitsuji’s “His Butler, Performer” & Shakespeare’s Hamlet

Review: “Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans” –  I’m Disappointed (SPOILER WARNING)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting It’s been (over) a month and I guess I need to talk about it. Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans, from the Tales of Arcadia series, was a pitiful end to the franchise.
