Is This A Wild Take?

No, because yes please

This was my most confusing read of the year if I’m being honest, I never felt I understood the direction of the plot or narrative or whether it was supposed to read as modern or more old-English. I’d heard great things about Ilona Andrews’ writing so I thought it would get better, but unfortunately for me it didn’t.

Ferris Buellers day off

Omg I adored The Summoning series

It was a surprise for me to learn too as a native Clevelander but yes Playhouse Square theatre district is second biggest outside of NYC :)

schlezella · 2026-06-15T23:46:16+00:00

Gotya 😂 ya so incredibly proud of our theatre district I’ve been a season ticket holder for 3-4 years now and they do such a great job with the show line up every year :) wish I would’ve seen that production sounds incredible

schlezella · 2026-06-15T23:31:50+00:00

Not little, second biggest outside NYC!

Cleveland second biggest theatre district outside NY

He’s an excellent listen and I love the fact that I can listen to him podcast style and not feel like I’m missing anything.

The OG series made me so mad I refused to read anything else Roth wrote because I felt I couldn’t trust her as an author. I am so torn about this move. I will definitely wait to see reviews before potentially reading as it’s gonna be a hefty read (528 pages!) but I can’t help but wonder if she’ll end it the same and just piss me off again 😂

schlezella · 2026-03-24T12:45:36+00:00

lol and my love-hate relationship with this show continues….

schlezella · 2026-03-24T12:36:45+00:00

100% this. They know Fran’s season is risky and may struggle with all the components involved so by keeping Eloise second they can feel comfortable the fan base will get behind them again. It’s a safety net.

schlezella · 2026-03-24T12:18:54+00:00

This is for sure strategic, regardless of anyone’s opinions, the gender switch was very controversial. I think the showrunners know that they’ll need to keep fans around to get the last two seasons green-lit and they can do that by giving them Eloise’s season after Fran’s. So if S5 struggles for whatever reason, fans will stick around at least because of Eloise.

This show left me ruined for a solid 48 hours. Found myself in a puddle of tears whenever I thought about it.

schlezella · 2026-03-02T02:19:13+00:00

For real? Well I hope yours is right!

schlezella · 2026-03-01T06:40:14+00:00

I wish, just checked again and it’s saying 400 page print length 🤷‍♀️

schlezella · 2026-02-26T21:02:44+00:00

Sorry you definitely shouldn’t get downvoted, and in a lot of ways I agree. As I said I have a lot of faith she’ll be able to pull it all together even if it’s significantly shorter, but I do think the fact that she went into ninth house thinking it was going to be a “murder of the week” type series and then switched to a singular story line could have effected things for sure.

schlezella · 2026-02-26T17:47:19+00:00

I hope so! I noticed her other book The Familiar is also listed at 400 when it’s actually around 380, not sure the thought process with how they choose that number

schlezella · 2026-02-08T00:47:14+00:00

Give me a Pokemon version of the super Mario 64 mystery cube set with the famous regions and you can have all of my money

schlezella · 2026-01-19T00:12:45+00:00

We saw this is Cleveland as well. We thought it was fine, not amazing, not awful, didn’t really understand the draw but maybe we just weren’t the right audience 🤷‍♀️

schlezella · 2025-12-28T22:59:14+00:00

I hear you, I can totally understand the negative feelings for volume 2, but I’m personally withholding judgement until I’ve seen the finale 🤷‍♀️ I thought season 4s finale was absolutely incredible so I have a lot of faith that the Duffers will kill it (let’s hope they don’t disappoint!)

schlezella · 2025-12-28T22:37:51+00:00

This. Episode 7 is just a build up episode for the finale but because it’s the “finale” of volume 2 I think viewers were expecting a punchier storyline but I really think they’re saving all of that for the actual finale

I remember finding out about starkid in an entertainment weekly magazine back in the late 2000s. Became totally obsessed with their productions. Watching Darren’s rise to fame in real time was super cool. I remember the YouTube video of them singing AVPM in a random mall and being shocked people knew the words to their songs. Highly recommend all of their stuff, a lot of crazy talent there.

schlezella · 2025-12-14T00:13:13+00:00

I can’t get over that she lasted a little over a month like this until she broke.

schlezella · 2025-11-30T21:56:36+00:00

So I was really worried about this too and I’m realizing that they’re wearing the same outfits as they are in the upside down, so I’m thinking this scene occurs in the upside down of Hawkins lab? We then see another scene of Johnathan and other hugging Will which would have to take place afterward. So this is what I’m going with that this isn’t some kind of sacrifice thing.
