Christine Williamson

Biography

Raised, though not born, in rural New Hampshire, Christine Williamson graduated from Carleton College in 2002 with a BA in biology and her eyes set on a career spent studying marine wildlife. This sunny future, however, was suddenly and irrevocably derailed when she acquired her first manga and embarked upon an abrupt, but serendipitously timed, quest to earn an MFA in Sequential Art from the Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Junction, Vermont.

Having succeeded in that quest, Christine now resides in the wilds of New England and spends her time playing RPGs with local kids while earning money to placate the demands of two moody cats. It is her fondest wish to one day be able to truthfully say, “I am able to placate those demands with income earned exclusively and entirely from my writing and drawing endeavors.”

    An interesting story. I mostly enjoyed it, though it felt a little weird at times, like something was off. (Though maybe, given some of the twists, that was intended.) I would have liked getting a bit more character development at the beginning, before the action took off. As its very late, (and I can't put my finger on exactly what bothered me), I'm going to refrain from setting a star rating. Take advantage of the sale to check it out yourself! :)
  • Five on July 13, 2012

    While I enjoyed reading Five enough to finish it relatively quickly, I'm only giving it an average rating. There were times the imagery and plot sparkled with exciting potential, but then there were others when events took a complete 180 or appeared out of nowhere in a jarring fashion that made me stop reading and go, "What the heck? Is this the same story?" (For example, *SPOILER IN THESE PARENTHESES*, in the last quarter of the book, Rayla suddenly acquires a 2nd love interest, one who's previously been portrayed as an enemy without any foreshadowing to soften the change.) I feel like the author knew what they wanted to happen and raced to hit those points, but in the process didn't take into account the influences of previous events on the reader, or flesh out the transitions connecting them. On the other hand, when Five was working, it gripped me, and the jarring changes didn't make me want to stop reading. If I could give half stars, I'd give Five a 3.5. When it was working, it was great.
