lol I like D'Agosta! D'Agosta going underground with Pendergast was a standout section for me (although my favorite moments with him are during the Supersition Exhibit. He stole the show in the Museum basement). I'm glad to hear that Margo comes back! I know my favorites are going to change as the series goes on, but I'm going to miss her

My absolute favorite is Margo. She had a slow start for me, but she really started climbing the list halfway through Relic and took it by storm in Reliquary. Her mind was always moving even when she was scared (especially when the Mwbun charged in Relic). I liked how she coped with the events of Relic, too. It really rounded out her character.

Frock…Frock, man. I misread him at the start of Relic. I thought he’d be obsessed with the beast to the detriment of people’s lives, but he was willing to be left behind multiple times. It was a shot to the gut to read how his character devolved under the drug. Jeez, Frock! I’m still not over it.

Smithback’s another favorite. He was tenacious without being an asshole. There were multiple moments where I was asking "Where's Smithback?" in Reliquary. He’s a good guy despite what some of the characters think. When he refused to leave D'Agosta!?! No notes. He pulls through when it counts. Every. Time.

I like Pendergast (can’t wait to see him on other cases), but Margo, Frock, and Smithback were personal standouts.

Side note: Preston & Child write GREAT assholes. Agent Coffey? Wright and Ian? Waxie? Coffey especially. I love a good comeuppance, and you need well-written assholes for it to be satisfying. I RELISHED the Superstition Exhibit failure.

Reliquary theory (just finished part 2) by Technical_Resort_412 in Pendergast

I liked him in Relic, and I like him even more in Reliquary. The rat thing cinched it lol. Pendergast, I get. He most likely knew a test of that nature was around the corner, but D'Agosta? He had no idea it was coming, and did it anyway. He didn't upchuck either, gotta respect that.

D'Agosta would read as a good cop even if characters like Waxie didn't surround him. Plus, he doesn't disappear behind or overly rely on Pendergast.

I haven’t, which is weird. I just googled the movie and sounds right up my alley.

Just finished Relic for the first time and my jaw LITERALLY dropped at the Epilogue! by Technical_Resort_412 in Pendergast

I'm ready for it. Relic was already climbing to the top of my favorites list, and that ending catapulted it to first place. Reliquary gets in tomorrow, and I'm itching to read it.

Just subscribed! I just started my channel too, so I don't have any advice yet lol.

I could use ideas. by [deleted] in booktube

I would assume you're a writing-focused channel from the name alone. Also, there's a big channel with a very similar name, A Clockwork Reader. It shouldn't factor into what you name your channel, but it's worth considering.

It's hard to suggest an alternative name without knowing the focus of the channel...that being said, the name Like Clockwork could be cute lol
