what page does the story get more serious with the dragon attack? I lost my spot months ago.
@AJDRAGON01Ай бұрын
The one thing I did not like about this book was the big missing gap of info in the dragon hunt pages 125 and 126, one moment Roger is at the edge of a forest and then the next page we are at the end of a battle with three dragons and a lot of people dead. I literally thought I had turned two pages at once and missed something, but no that part of the story did not exist. I enjoyed the rest of the book but not that part.

I'm glad you enjoyed The Dark Between the Trees, I don't mind a book being ambiguous and not giving you all the answers but I thought this book was the complete opposite. I loved the first half of the book, it was so well written and was mysterious and atmospheric but for me it lost it's way a little and became pretty predictable. Not a bad book just not as good as I hoped. Great video as always man and that mask is terrifying!

We Only Find Them When They're Dead (6:46) sounds interesting, I always like a good space opera. It reminds me a little of Knowhere as depicted in the MCU where they are harvesting the remains of a celestial's noggin, but it takes that similar idea and runs with it in what sounds to be a very intriguing direction. Very cool video!

I really liked the superimposed artwork over the written text at the 4:46 mark as well as the almost hypno disc style artwork that appeared at 6:32 (the music timing there also had an almost Earthbound SNES-style sound that happens when the screen distorts in that game, which felt very appropriate for that page). And the Michael Myers depictions were very well-illustrated, always nice to see horror imagery presented well. Great video! ❤
