How can a book (the war in the dark) be so underrated (the war in the dark) that it feels like it's only me and the author that have read it (the war in the dark)

The Spider Dance by Nick Setchfield

The Spider Dance by Nick Setchfield (@NickSetchfield) reviewed by @dvaleris who loves how it built on the first of the series.

I love it when the second book in a series is better than its predecessor. And make no mistake, this is not a standalone novel, despite the odd lack of signalling otherwise. You’d be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t start with Nick Setchfield’s The War In The Dark, which sets the scene for why our 1960s spy Christopher Winter is, in this book, working as a hired thug for London mobsters…

Nick Setchfield’s “Thor: The Dark World REVIEW” Is a Flash of Fun

★★★★⅔

4.63 stars for Nick Setchfield’s 883‑word review of “Thor: The Dark World” on SFX Magazine

With “Thor: the Dark World Review,” Nick Setchfield imbues a world of darkness with a little bit of light, brightening things with a sense of humor that pervades the review and keeps it from being all doom and gloom.

It would be a mistake to tackle a film such as Thor: the Dark World with too much seriousness, and Setchfield wisely avoids that mistake. There are jokes in the picture captions, light-hearted pop culture references, and occasional humorous asides peppered throughout the review.

Amongst all that humor, though, Setchfield does not forget to write an actual review. He does a more-than-adequate job of that, as well, critiquing the movie on its own terms as an attempt to be fun and entertaining rather than Serious Cinema.

With that in mind, he points out spots in which the film falls a little bit short in the entertainment department. He makes sure to point out the film’s flaws, but does so without dwelling on them.

Setchfield’s “Thor: The Dark World REVIEW” is the rare review that gets the tone just right, finding that perfect balance of humor and substance. It’s not pretentious or self-serious, but it’s also not too goofy. The result is a thoroughly entertaining read.
