Silent Night
The colorful fairy lights strung around the room twinkled gaily, matching the strands that circled the Tyler family Christmas tree. Unlike in the more public areas of the mansion—the grand entrance with its 14 foot white tree, delicate silver and blue ornaments hanging from its limbs and flanked by the twin staircases trimmed in gold and silver garland, so breathtaking that its image graced the cover of a magazine; the ballroom with smaller versions of the tree in the hall in the corners of the room and crystal snowflakes suspended from the ceiling; the formal dining room with its series of frosted wreaths on the walls and coordinating centerpieces on the table—the large living room in the back of the house had not been decorated for the holiday by an interior designer. And it showed. It showed in the mismatched ornaments on the tree, the cheap red and green garland trimming the tops of all the furniture and hanging in long loops from the crown molding, the ceramic figurines of Father Christmas on the mantle. The enormous plush reindeer in the corner that was sturdy enough for even Pete to sit on. The paper snowflakes carefully cut out by a five-year-old with safety scissors and attached to the windows with cellotape.
The personal, loving touches that spoke of family and couldn’t be recreated by a decorator, not at any price.
I was a fan of the first Silent Night, but the sequel was a bit of a letdown. I was annoyed that Reva simply went back to being terrible. It would have been more compelling if she tried really hard to be a better person, had it blow up in her face, and then said “fuck it, why bother?” Instead, Reva’s character just felt like more of the same. I did enjoy the comedic angle of the delusional and incompetent kidnappers. It was the most believable part of this story. I thought the dynamic of Diane’s “just like in the movies” mantra matched with Pres and Danny’s poor planning skills worked out really well. Unfortunately, the overall plot was a bit anti-climatic and predictable. So far as sequels go Silent Night 2 was a solid enough effort. I like that it kept things fun and never took itself too seriously, but it needed an additional twist to pull off something as satisfying as the first book. I guess I just wanted more for the second outing of the Regina George of Shadyside High.
Score: 3

Ughhh, I can’t wait to get to see Godlock in action
NGL though… he gives me MAJOR Rick vibes
Post Corto Maltese, Rick lost all faith in the government so know he takes the law into his own hands as a mercenary. And looks hot as fuck while doing it too
This is EXACTLY how I envisioned him if he ever was to come back after Corto Maltese. Free from the government, becoming a mercenary, which was something he used be against when he joined ARGUS. But now he’s free and no longer the government and Waller’s puppet, he’s out there making his own decisions and doing what he feels is right. Fuck anyone else who thinks otherwise.
We love a good bit of character development.
I’m definitely beginning to stir a plot in my brain. Thinking “I never told you what I do for a living” as the inspo… mercenary rick would be phenomenal

I asked Korean friends about what looks like a big cracked egg in the front, and this was their reply: “The cracked big egg is a symbol of a King’s birth in Korean traditional stories/myths.”－@Globalworship
