![]() ![]() ![]() Something in Chuck Liddell's head was knocked loose by Rashad Evans that night.Ĭhuck has gone from having an iron chin to having a chin made of gummy bears and fine china. There is no way Chuck's chin ever recovered from that. It was one of themost brutal knockouts ever. It was Rashad Evans who truly started the end of the Iceman's career. 4 out of 6 fights have been knockouts now.Īgainst Rampage, Chuck did get caught. One punch to the jaw area is all it takes to end his night these days. The only problem is that Chuck has no chin.

Also, the introduction of the Three Lights leaves room for humor, particularly Yaten’s catty remarks to Michiru, leaving her in a rare instance of losing her cool. Minako has now joined the others in high school (Rei is still at her private school), and everyone’s getting involved in club activities and various things that aren’t being senshi. But I liked how the volume began with everyone happy and content. ![]() I always recalled this being the most depressing arc, and there is certainly a lot of bleakness and death. All that said, there’s still piles of stuff I want to talk about. I also found it hideously rushed, even more so than usual for Takeuchi, but am putting that down to seeing the anime first. And to be fair, there is a bit of ‘let’s drag this out for one more apocalypse’ to the story. Stars is the one exception, and I worried that I would inevitably find the manga wanting, as I seemed to when I first read it years ago. I’d never seen the dubbed Sailor Moon anime, and for the most part always read the manga before I saw the subbed anime – probably one reason I like the manga so much.

But with such positive support, the club is also targeted by online trolls. They post everything online-poems, essays, videos of Chelsea performing her poetry, and Jasmine’s response to the racial macroaggressions she experiences-and soon they go viral. Jasmine and Chelsea are sick of the way women are treated even at their progressive NYC high school, so they decide to start a Women’s Rights Club. I’ll be using the same reviewing style I did for Love, Hate, & Other Filters so please let me know if you like it, or if you’d rather I go back to my old ways. I’ll also have to bring these beauties back to the library, but at least they’ll get to be loved by someone else. It’s been a pretty good reading month and I’m excited for the Wrap-up next week. This is the final book of my June Library Book Haul. Watch Us Rise was published on February 12th, 2019 and thankfully, my library had a copy.

I should not have been surprised that the first book in a series ended with a cliff-hanger, but the mysterious revelation was a bit annoying. This is a genuine page-turner and I found myself reading well into the small hours of the morning.Īlthough, for the most part, the pace left me breathless, I thought that it dropped off a bit in the middle. There are lots of tangled relationships and there are many doubts about who can and cannot be trusted. There is a lot of intimate and well-researched information in this book regarding the way that cults work and it is scary. Her past soon catches up with her when somebody from her childhood calls her with news that her child has been abducted. Abby is a negotiator and the opening scene shows us a very good view of her regular work: talking down a potential suicide. The characters, especially the main protagonist, Abby Mullen, are authentic.
