Not like in The Prestige, though!

Watched (live-action TV): The Librarians 1.10: Hey, look, everything they’ve collected over the season is important in the finale! Also, the usual ethical questions with respect to timelines that now never happened.

Read (light novel): A Livid Lady’s Guide to Getting Even vol 1 (Hagure Metabo): The traditional young-lady-dumped-by-the-crown-prince-in-favor-of-some-floozie opening. Since this young lady has actually been doing all the work of running the kingdom, she’s happy to have a vacation in jail while waiting for the king and other alleged adults to appreciate how wrong things are going without her, but then she learns they’re off faffing about because of course she’ll take care of it. Then she runs off to the enemy kingdom to set up her own cosmetics empire and not have anything to do with any of those idiots ever again. Unfortunately, she is too perfect for it to be interesting. Also, when war finally comes, we didn’t need that scene.

Read (novel): Tavern Rats (Matt Youngmark): An apprentice wizard who suddenly learns she has to pay off her student debt or leave school formulates a terrible plan to loot a dungeon, assembles the worst adventuring party ever, gets completely lost within a day’s walk of her hometown, and then things really go off the rails. It is extremely D&D (orcs, cantrips, dark elves, tree kraken, druids, etc) but manages to be funny anyway.

Read (comic collection): Doom’s Division (Yoon Ha Lee, Minkyu Jung, Mattia Iacono): I figured anything written by Yoon Ha Lee would be great, but I know nothing about the continuity and am not invested in the characters, so meh.

Written (Geometry for Mutants): 154. My MC needs a really good plan now, and I don’t have one for her.
