Hello everyone, I’m Erin Underwood.
Welcome to Underwords. This site is my online collection of reviews, interviews, and random commentary that primarily focus on science fiction and fantasy related material. However, I may stray into the world of technology or tiptoe through politics from time to time. Whatever you find here represents thoughts and ideas that I have at any given time, and those thoughts and ideas may change.
One thing you will notice is that most of my reviews are positive or mostly positive. It’s not that I like everything or that I feel compelled to say nice things about everything that I read or watch. The issue is, I am so busy that when I come across a book, film, TV series, or anything that I don’t enjoy, I stop because I don’t have free time for things that I don’t enjoy. So, if I don’t have time to watch a movie that I am not enjoying, I really don’t have time to do a review of it. So, if you see a review here, it means that I not only liked it enough to finish it, I also liked it enough to spend time reviewing it, which generally means a positive review.
