I have not longed as much as I have to be in a fictional world as much as I have after watching ‘Clannad’. With a story that will make you laugh one second and be on the floor crying in the next ‘Clannad’ is a beautifully written master piece and one of my favorite anime’s I have ever watched. Beware of minor spoilers for ‘Clannad’ ahead and also, please note, this will just be a review for the first series of ‘Clannad’ and not ‘Clannad: After Story’. If you want to see me review the next series then make sure you let me know down below. I also have only watched the dubbed version so this review will be taken only with the English voice actors in mind. ‘Clannad’ is based off a visual novel with the same name and characters. The story follows a troubled young boy named Tomoya, a student who manages to gain the attention of multiple girls and solve problems to further a relationship with them, not unlike most visual novels. The anime, however, took a much different approach, instead

When I first heard about Stephanie Garber’s debut novel, 'Caraval' I was intrigued by the mystery and this book did not fail to disappoint. ‘Caraval’ is one of the best books I have read in a while and I have been so eager to write down my thoughts on it and share them with you guys. I am going to keep as much of this review as spoiler free as I can, however, I do want to go into some of the events of the book in more detail and talk about my theories for the next one but I will put a spoiler warning before I do this. For those of you who have not heard of the book, ‘Caraval follows Scarlett Dragna the older of two sisters who come from an abusive relationship with their father. Their mother had mysteriously vanished when they were still children and ever since then all Scarlett has ever wanted was to go to the 'Caraval', a magical carnival that is held in a different location every year. 'Caraval' is very much a game which you can either get tickets to play
