Heir Apparent by Vivian Vande Velde

 This book treads the border between sci-fi and fantasy. The story begins as Giannine gets a gift certificate to visit the Rasmussem virtual reality center. She chooses to play a fantasy game called Heir Apparent. Outside the facility, fanatics that think children spend too much time hooked up to these machines have sabotaged the mechanism that controls the games. Giannine is approached by the game’s creator and told that due to the sabotage they cannot disconnect her until she wins the game and that if she does not win within a certain amount of time she will die for real. Giannine then needs to get a magic ring, locate treasure and defeat enemies if she wants to survive her birthday gift. The world of the game is beautiful and an enjoyable fantasy series. 

The Chosen Ones by LuthienTauriel

 Another Star Wars fanfic by me. I do tend to write a lot of Star Wars fics… Anyway this one is based on a concept alluded to by Yesac but never written. Basically the story is that Count Dooku gets to Qui Gon Jin and convinces him to Fall. Obi Wan escapes and rescues Shimi and Anakin. All three go to Mandalore where Obi Wan is “adopted” by Shimi and he marries Satine. It’s the first of a 7 part series, 3 of which are currently are published.

What If…? (2021-2024)

 

Part of the MCU, What If follows one of the “Watchers” a race of beings that watch over the multiverse. Each episode consists of how events in the MCU could have happened differently. For instance, what if Yondu accidently grabbed T’Challa instead of Peter Quill? What if Peggy Carter got the super serum instead of Steve Rogers, ect.? Each season then cumulates with an episode that brings all these disjoined storylines together. It’s a decent show with most of the cast from the MCU revising their roles.
