Bran Hambric Chapter 2: Chasing Shadows in the Dark or Where Are You?
Oh, and, I've heard Kaleb Nation read a bit of Bran Hambric on BlogTV, and I just find it funny the way he says, “oh rot!”, which is also a line of Sewey's in this chapter.
So basically after this confusing rooftop battle in which things appear and people are not where I thought they were, Bran and Sewey take off after Shambles, but end up losing him and get pulled over by “Officer McMason”. (Which I also think is funny for Kaleb to say.)
Bran Hambric Chapter 1: Strange Happenings on Bolton Road or The Creature Appears
In other news, a mysterious creature has appeared on the roof of the Wilomas's. The chapter's in this book seem to be fairly short, at least so far, and so there isn't a whole lot to talk about. Sewey plans to catch a supposed burglar who came to his house by waiting on the roof for him/her. Bran has to go with, just because. Well, because he's an Accident. That's apparently what he's called around Dunce, or at least in the Wilomas house. Oh look, there's ANOTHER Harry Potter similarity! Bran's adopted family doesn't want him. Well, the chapter ends somewhat frightfully, with “the creature” jumping onto the roof and Bran jumping out of the way just in time. Way to build the intensity Kaleb Nation!
Is it even possibly to sue for character similarity?
Bran Hambric: The Prologue or If only Clarence was a Werewolf
I finally read the prologue of Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse by Kaleb Nation for myself. I had heard him read it once or twice before on BlogTV, but it had been the ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) version and so it had some differences.
I can't help but think that if Clarence had been a werewolf, he could have busted out and thrown the beat down on those 5 guys. But, he wasn't, and thus, I must read on and see if more is revealed about his fate.
Emry Hambric, Bran's mother, locks him in the trunk of her car and then “flung the magic” at it, sending him to a bank vault in Dunce. Which is actually the city she is in now. She also gets shot two or three times, and is left bleeding to death. But doesn't actually die, per se.
So, Emry Hambric is NOT dead. Well, not until book 6, that is. (6 books is how many Kaleb Nation has planned for the series.) I have found that many characters in books and movies, die. Well, not really, because no one ever really stays dead. This is due to a few reasons: 1. The author/creator never intended for them to die, thus it was all a set up. 2. The author/creator decides later on that they, or the fans, liked that character too much, and they must be revived. 3. Someone who is not the author/creator decides that they like the character too much and makes up a new story in which the character never died, or just came back to life.
So, until the last book is released, to me, Emry is not dead.
