Review: In the Dark Heart of Winter by Mere Rain

Title: In the Dark Heart of Winter Author: Mere Rain Publisher: JMS Books Length: 104 Pages Category: Gothic Fantasy, Paranormal Rating: 4 Stars At a Glance: This is one of those books I enjoyed for what it is and yet wished there’d been more to it. I didn’t get the background that would have made this a richer and deeper read, it doesn’t reinvent the Gothic Fantasy/Horror genre, but Mere…

Jimin's choices

After reading Beyond the Story and learning more about the culture of Kpop, I think Jimin's promotions were exactly what he wanted. I'm talking specifically about the few weeks he spent making music show appearances. He walked the exact path debut-Bangtan walked in the beginning which were the music show performances, Music Bank, Inkagayo...achieving a first 1st place win on those music shows...and appearances on variety shows. Jimin actually won two 1st place wins.

To us OUTSIDE the Kpop world, it all seemed charming and yet expected that he'd want to perform on Korean music shows for K-Army. That was one of the primary reasons for going that route but at the same time he dutifully paid important homage to the expectations/standards embedded in Kpop culture in order to lay down that first stepping stone in his solo career.

At the time BTS debuted, companies were reluctant to keep spending money on producing a group if they did not show these progressive and specific steps.

Perhaps recalling the strong reactions from the kpop world to debut-BTS, Jimin was sensitive to those still waiting for a chance to criticize anything he did. Sometimes wounds leave lasting scars that still twinge now and then.

So Jimin paid his dues as a debut solo artist and gave a respectful and decisive nod to his Kpop idol roots. He earned a rightful place in the eyes of anyone in that industry.

The Billboard #1 was perhaps an unexpected win on top of all that. The #1's on all of the other charts: also extra on top. STILL dominating in his own country.

And now he's moving on. His next step will be bigger. He's coming for you AMAs, BBMAs, Grammys. I can feel it. Let's get it.

There are things that happened (or didn't happen as people wanted them to) surrounding Jimin's album. I am on board with that. But until Jimin says what went down himself, I won't be flying the "company mistreated him" flag. Mistakes? Yes. Incompetence? Perhaps. Shortsightedness? I definitely think so. Online streaming platform manipulation? Sure looks like it. Western music industry sabotage? Absolutely without a doubt. But his own label maliciously cutting him off? No.

Jimin is my bias and I want him to have everything he deserves and I am going to trust that he knows how to handle his own professional career and he does not need my intervention. If he's not happy with something, guess what? He can call Bang PD and tell him what's what. None of us can do that. Let Jimin handle it.

#guess we'll see #i feel so much smarter after reading the book #jimin face #of course we know haters are gon' hate #and someone who thinks they shoulda coulda woulda #i wonder if jk grabbed seven because he knows what jm has in store #bts chapter 2 #me with unpopular opinions again #the usuals will be tiring in the comments #3-2-1 there they are...

Kinda want to do a virtual Peter Pan book club similar to “Dracula Daily” but it’s only 17 chapters long so it would be super short… But it would be fun to go through the story with people who have never read the original for themselves and with others who have read it before but want to go back and take a closer look at it together. Would anybody actually want to do something like this?

Lots of news, including this year’s JMS Books Advent Calendar, and more! (My Advent Calendar free story will be available December 20 – but more on that soon…) But for today, a happy bit of news – Apprentice’s Luck, the new novel in the Middle Lands (the world of Magician), is now out in paperback!

It’s high fantasy m/m romance, set ~150 years before Magician (you might recognize a name or two – no one knows where Lorre is, at the moment!), so it’s got all new main characters; it’ll stand alone fine if you’ve not read the others. And it’s about Talis, an apprentice magician who doesn’t think he’s very good at magic, and Jer, a royal guardsman who thinks he’s overheard a threat to the King…but no one else believes him…but perhaps a magician can help…

And of course there’s falling for each other along the way. And tea. And Talis having a lot of emotions while watching Jer be quietly competent at weapons training. And opera-related jokes.

Jer and Talis have honestly become some of my favorite characters (I might have to write one more story for them…) so I hope you like them too!

"He was gay he said--and I could see he was waiting for my judgement, perhaps condemnation, and how relived he was when all I offered was acceptance."
