2 Epic Tales from Adventure Time + Seeds book reviews

Epic Tales from Adventure Time: The Untamed Scoundrel by T. T. MacDangereuse
























Paperback144 pages
Read: Oct. 17
Rating: 3.5/5
Genres: Adventure, Fan-fiction
Summery: The dashingly handsome Sir Jacobus Gooddog and his loyal manservant Mr. Finnish Biped, set forth on a heroic quest to rescue the fair Lady Rainicorn in this epically adventurous tale from the most celebrated author in all of Ooo, T. T. MacDangereuse.

Review: This tale starts off with Lady and Lord Gooddog giving their son, Jacobus, an ultimatum to find a wife at their ball tonight or be disowned. I enjoyed the story. The beginning was slow, the middle is when I started to get into the story, and the ending was my favorite part of the story and reminded me of the show. There are quite a few characters from the show in the book, such as Jake, Finn, and Lady Rainicorn obviously, as well as Marceline, LSP, Princess Bubblegum, and Susan Strong. Since this is a fan-fiction of sorts the characters meet each other in different ways than from the show. I liked the story and the characters, but it took me a little past half-way into the book, as well as the characters to get into and enjoy the story.


Epic Tales from Adventure Time: Queen of Rogues by T. T. MacDangereuse

























Paperback144 pages
Read: Oct. 17
Rating: 4.50/5
Genres: Adventure, Fan-fiction
Summery: Set sail with the elusive millionaire P. Gumball, dashing Fionna and Cake, and notorious rapscallion Marshall Lee as they take to the high seas in this awesomely epic adventure from the greatest writer in all of Ooo, T. T. MacDangereuse.

Review: This tale starts with Fionna and LSP arriving at a party on a yacht thrown by Prince Bubblegum. I liked this story much better than The Untamed Scoundrel, the story was easier to get into and enjoy as well as the characters, this one is a gender switch like the Ice King's fan-fiction on the show, so all of the characters featured in this story are the opposite gender then originally. This story has Fionna (Finn), Cake (Jake), Prince Bubblegum (Princess Bubblegum), Marshall Lee (Marceline), Lumpy Space Prince (Lumpy Space Princess), and the Ice Queen (Ice King). The way the plot was executed was done better with this book than with The Untamed Scoundrel book. Also i like the fact that Tree Trunks is T. T. MacDangereuse, the author, that was a cute little detail.


Seeds by Jade Frampton
























Kindle Edition, 11 pages
Read: Oct. 17
Rating: 5/5
Genres: Short Story, Tennis, Young Adult
Summery: Sport parents are notorious for taking it too far when it comes to their own super-star children. “Seeds” is told through the eyes of a thirteen-year-old tennis player struggling to understand what is and isn't allowed on the tennis courts.

Review: The story starts with a girl playing a match against a seed on her thirteenth birthday. I really liked this story, it gave a little bit of insight to tennis as well as parents going to extremes with their children winning and losing. I felt really bad for "Janice Beals" as well as the girl you read the story's P.O.V. from.

Hope everybody had/has a great day : )
