I feel like all that really needs to be said is: Girl Power. This book has it, is about it, and is not quiet about it.
The story has wonderful elements of humans and a beautifully explained view of so many types of Yokai. I really enjoyed seeing all of the different types and learning more. I just wish the plot didn't swing so many times from person to person. It ended up a bit jumbled.
While I enjoyed the story and the different takes on Yokai I was not a fan of the ending. That is the reason for the 3 stars.

I spent the majority of this book hating the main character! She complained about everything! I mean come on lady...get-up for an adventure! Change isn't always a bad thing!

Then I had to remind myself...it's just a book!

I loved how this one ended! At the risk of a **SPOILER** I will say...she came around in the end and did the right thing for herself & her kids!

I did however LOVE the dog! Hamish is so like my Daisy!

A solid 4 stars...it is Carole Matthews so it's a minimum of 3 for me anyway!!!

The Marinated Meeple (1853 KP) rated The Battle of Polytopia in Apps

Oct 19, 2018

Simple and easy turns (2 more)

only 30 turns can be played in approximately a half hour. But I can also stop anytime and come back to it.

Feels like a digital board game.

I wish the graphics were better, not so retro block-y. (0 more)

I've played about 7 games of this and so far I've not cracked the code to getting more than 2 stars..

So far I really like it and really get into the exploring, an researching technologies. Even the battles are slightly entertaining. It's quick enough to take 2 or 3 turns and put it away on the go.

I had intended to read this book on a Florida beach vacation, which was canceled due to the pandemic. It made me miss the beach, with its lush descriptions of the South Carolina Low Country. Harper finds solace in the beach and a dolphin friend (yes, you read that right). The book is silly and cheesy, and exactly what I would have wanted to read while on my trip. I especially liked Carson and will eventually pick up the next in the series (each book is told from the perspective of a different sister). 3+ stars.
