D'Arc | Robert Repino
post image

The third item in the Eclectic Readers Mad Libs Reading Challenge asks for a person‘s name in the title. My dog Wicket definitely approves of my choice of D‘Arc by Robert Repino. Read Mort(e), the first book in this series, in the 2017 Mad Libs Reading Challenge and loved it. #DArc #Morte #RobertRepino #WicketsWorld #WarWithNoName #ERMadLibs

Thrawn | Timothy Zahn

Coming down to the wire for my Eclectic Readers Mad Lib Reading Challenge, so making some moves to get it done in time. For #4 Name, I'm replacing Timothy Zahn's Thrawn with Mort(e) by Robert Repino. I've got Thrawn but I hate to rush through it when I'll be meeting Zahn at July's ConGregate in NC (planning to do a Zahn marathon leading up to that. I'm also replacing #9 Noun/Thing with Asylum by Madeleine Roux, which I'm reading as an audiobook.

Redwritinghood Wicket is adorable. 💕💕 7y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Well done! Hopefully Wicket's life is significantly more mellow that Mort(e)'s. 7y

Loved this novel. Mort(e) is filled with amazing worldbuilding, and Robert Repino does a fantastic job peeling back the layers of that world. This book is like Tailchaser's Song meets Planet of the Apes. Looking forward to the next book, even though this novel's story felt very self-contained.

YES! I was gonna be really disappointed if there wasn't any catnip in Mort(e). Robert delivers, though. My perpetually high cat Uncle Kerouac, from my old webcomic "The Wildcat's Lair," approves. #catnip #Morte #RobertRepino #fantasy #scifi #catsoflitsy #UncleKerouac #TheWildcatsLair

As a 911 dispatcher, I got a great laugh out of this paragraph. The idea of other animals calling in noise complaints for dogs is hilarious. A nice touch to Robert's worldbuilding. #ItsADogsLife #dogsoflitsy #woof #Morte #findSheba #RobertRepino #WarWithNoName #noisecomplaints

I finished the first part of Mort(e) last night, and it's an amazing journey watching Sebastian's transformation from house cat to war hero and then retired veteran. His need to find his friend, the dog Sheba, is so heartbreaking that I dreamed Part II starts with him and Sheba together again. (Spoiler: it doesn't) And I almost never dream about what I'm reading. #Morte #findSheba #WarWithNoName #fantasy #scifi #RobertRepino #weirddreams

Chapter two amounts to a history lesson. I'm actually a little baffled, because what is technically an info dump on how the ants took over the world held my attention. I'm gonna puzzle for some time over how Robert wrote this so well, making ant queen Hymenoptera more horrifying than the Xenomorph queen from Aliens. #Morte #alien #queen #Hymenoptera #xenomorph #findSheba #fantasy #WarWithNoName #RobertRepino #SciFi #GetAwayFromHerYouBitch

Just 20 pages into Mort(e), and I get the buzz. The way Robert places the reader into Mort(e)'s early life as a house pet is flawless, but it's watching how he suddenly evolves self-awareness that's really amazing. The story is a roller coaster, accomplishing so much in a very short time. #Morte #fantasy #RobertRepino #TheWarWithNoName #catsoflitsy

Found out that Robert Repino will be visiting Fountain Bookstore here in Richmond next month, so I'm gonna read Mort(e). My friends have raved about this book. The sequel D'Arc comes out just before his visit. Wicket seems less than pleased that I'm reading a book about a cat, though. #dogsoflitsy #catsoflitsy #RobertRepino #Morte #WarWithNoName #fantasy

TobeyTheScavengerMonk This book was awesome and emotionally brutalizing in equal measure. Enjoy! 7y
BillBlume @TobeyTheScavengerMonk, I've heard so many great things. I'm only 13 pages into it, and I'm already digging it. 7y
