In the Sanctuary episode "Awakening", is it "Castor" or "Caster"? IMDb says one and the wiki says the other, and my episode doesn't have the closing credits..but it dawns on me that some of you have the DVDs now, so if one of you could check and let me know, that would be awesome.

(This is another ARC review, so I've done my best to keep it spoiler free. I've skated over the BIG things anyway. But a few things probably made it through. Be warned.)

10 Things I Loved About "Every Other Day" (By Page 10 of the Book)

1. Non-white heroine.
2. Creative superpowers.
3. Snappy internal monologue.
4. Hellhounds are an endangered species.
5. She thinks of them as 'hounds (and yes, the apostrophe is why I love it).
6. Bizarre pragmatism.
7. "Left with nothing but my own bloody fingertips, I let out a war cry of my own, raked my nails over its face and fought like a girl." (I think I love her...)
8. Hilarious descriptions of her superpowers by herself.
9. She's the bait and the rescuer all at the same time.
10. The really cool slow build of the "people like me" theme.

And that was only Chapter One!

Yeah, it's crazy. But sometimes, crazy is all you've got. )

So this book gets a 9/10 for a fabulous "insert" world, an awesome heroine, an outstanding supporting cast (SKYLER!!!), a great ending, and for keeping the romance to a minimum. :)

(I can't tell you why it doesn't get a 10, because that would be a spoiler.)

(Oh, and the cover art is REALLY GREAT.)

Every Other Day comes out on December 27, which seems like an odd day for a book, but WHATEVER. I will definitely be adding it to my list of "books I want to hold someday".
