Dead Reckoning, Chapter 1

Ah, Sookie Stackhouse. The books that the tv series True Blood is based on, it can best be described as Twilight but good. Sookie is a strong character with interesting abilities, and her hometown, Bon Temps, Louisiana, is filled with interesting, fully fleshed out characters.

Dead Reckoning, the newest book in the series, was released on May 3. I will be spoiling things that happen in each chapter, so read at your own peril! Also, please don't spoil me if you've already read it – that would be incredibly rude, and I wouldn't like it. So, if you're still with me, hit the jump!

Thor

THOR! GOD OF THUNDER! One of the few Marvel characters who can battle the Hulk and have any chance of winning, he is one of the true powerhouses of the Marvel universe. Of course, he comes with a lot of baggage - namely, Asgard and its entire mythology. The inclusion of deities can be difficult to reconcile with other stories, and the relatively realistic feel of the Marvel Cinematic Universe isn't an easy fit with high fantasy. So, does Thor fit in with the greater MCU and, more importantly, is it a good movie? As always, expect full spoilers ahead.
