one. two. three. yay!

I need a splash of colour to see a brighter day ahead! What more beautiful than this? I love the rainbow colours which might explain why I never have a fixed favourite colour, although I do prefer some more than the rest.

Credits to Dan for the tweaks to an xml template, and to stilletto.love for coming up with this piece of genius work.

Finished Frank Beddor's Seeing Redd just a little before lunch today. 2 days. @_@ I read at a frightening pace sometimes. But the story is still good.

Lots of action, they should turn it into a movie soon. After all moviemakers seem to be adapting alot of fantasy fiction (some of them which are usually classified as children's fiction) to movies (think LOTR, Harry Potter, Eragon, Golden Compass or the upcoming Inkheart). So if that's any indication to go by I think Frank Beddor's series should be movie-fied too (provided they do a good job of it of course).

The story this time round is very political, with attacks seemingly coming from all sides, a time of realization for Hatter, and Alyss and Dodge finally coming together, Bibwit as wise as he's always been, and caterpillars permanently on high (and also able to squabble about tarty tarts at a time of turmoil). Politicians are all sneaky bastards when you take off all their bells and whistles.. ahem. Anyway. Also, I love the illustrations they have in the middle of the book, of the other characters (I remember Dodge, Molly, Doppleganger, and the card soldiers. VERY cool, and NOTHING like Disney's rendition)

Redd is still as evil as ever, she makes a really good bitch. I remember one line, Vollrath was saying "May I suggest that your Imperial Viciousness do some sightseeing, see what Paris has to offer?" And her curt reply, "I'd sooner rather kill you." XD such evil is good in an antagonist. A downright cruel woman. But she's not the only one, but certainly none has beaten her save Alyss herself.
