Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Dark Frost (Mythos Academy, #3) in Books
Sep 5, 2019
3.5 stars.
Still not my favourite series going but it's a quick and easy read with an interesting story arc running through the series with added little plotlines in each story such as who's going to be a reaper, Gwen searching for missing/stolen items and such.
The progression of Gwen and Logan's relationship (finally!) in this one had me smiling and wanting to cheer along with their friends at the end. It's about time guys!
I will be continuing the series at some point in the future but not yet.

David McK (3372 KP) rated Daredevil by Brian Michael Bendis & Alex Maleev: Ultimate Collection, Book 1 in Books

So: Daredevil.
AKA MAtt Murdock: Blind Lawyer by day, Vigilante by night.
And a character that, unlike (say) your Superman or Spiderman or Batman's, only really came to my attention with the (so-so) 2003 movie of the same name, and the more recent (and better) Marvel Netflix series'.
I'd also never read any of the comics/graphic novels before, although I knew that the TV series, in particular, drew heavily from that source, but had heard good things about them. With all that said, I thought I would take a risk on this particular collection (purchased, and read, via Comixology on my iPad) to see what all the fuss was about.
And, at first, I wasn't overwhelmed - I found the first story arc just so-so, and couldn't really get to grips with the art-style.
However, things picked up (for me) once the collection went back to a more conventional art style, with the whole story arc around the attempted coup against the Kingpin, followed by his estranged wife's revenge, then by the outing of Murdock's secret identity (wow!) and the trial of the Costumed Superhero (not him) that follows a succession of whammies (for want of a better word) one after the other ...

Book Divas (227 KP) rated A Question of Counsel in Books
Dec 12, 2017
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review when I signed up to host the book tour. I made no guarantee of a favorable review.
This was a good read with not one, but two strong female leads who are strong willed and not afraid of saying what needs to be said or doing what needs to be done. This fantasy book is well written with believable characters and contains sexual situations. The only thing lacking in this novella is that I found it to be way too short. I look forward to reading more of this author's books.

Moffat and Davies creation
Tennant makes the best doctor
Out of the New generations doctor who David Tennant is by far my favorite doctor. His charisma brings something special and perfect to the doctors persona.
The relationship between Rose and the Doctor is something beautiful and so bittersweet that there love can never be.
Show runners Russel T Davies and head written Steven Moffat make a great team and when they work together the show episode, story boards arcs and monsters are something that make any other show hard to match up to.

Becka Plitt (2 KP) rated Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017) in Movies
Jan 7, 2018
Overall, I enjoyed this movie. I only recently started paying attention to the Star Wars franchise and I was excited to see The Last Jedi. However, I thought that certain parts of the movie were unnecessary and dragged the movie on too long, particularly the arc involving Finn and Rose. There were also many times that it felt the movie was coming to a natural end, but they had to fit more in before the end, making it feel like the movie was dragging on. However, I still thought it was a good movie.
Christine Allard (22 KP) rated Red Clocks in Books
Jan 28, 2018
Interesting premise, writing got in the way.
I wanted to like this book. Managed to get through it in a few sittings, but it was a struggle. All but one of the women were unrelatable and shallowly formed. Frustrating that they were reduced to “titles” with their names seldom acknowledged.
Overall, it didn’t really spark any new thoughts on a complex issue, nor did it offer any resolution or new commentary about what an overturn of Roe v Wade would have on society.
Very disappointing. Not recommended.
