This is what I would call an epic adventure through different worlds. Starting from page 1 you are thrown in, quite confused, into a new world. In this new world pretty much anything you believe or can dream up can show up. Step in a teenager who doesn't believe in magic and a little girl who believes with her whole heart and you have a book.
I enjoyed the world building and the fact that this was not like any book I had read before. The fantasy and characters were unique but there were a lot of them to keep track of.

Auburn (57 KP) rated The SoulNecklace Stories: Box Set (SoulNecklace Stories #1-3) in Books
Apr 10, 2019
This three box set series is exciting, thrilling, and one epic fantasy.
The series follows Dana a reluctant princess and Will a man who can see more in Dana than just the facade on the outside. Together they must save the empire and maybe each other along the way.
This is an epic fantasy that brings you in and makes you want to read all three books in a row. It is wonderful to have a box set that let's you do that. If you enjoy epic romance and an adventure to save a kingdom you will enjoy this.

Clever Concept
Contains spoilers, click to show
Imagine a world where you could turn back time and make different decisions based on what you thought the consequences might be and you have Life is Strange. The main character is Max and you basically shape her character by making choices for her. Its more involving than that and it tests your morals quite a bit. A nice easy game to play and a good story make for a very enjoyable adventure game. This was on game pass on Xbox One

REVIEW: PANDEMIC LEGACY SEASON 1 – ONE-TIME EXPERIENCE
Legacy word in the title already suggests something. Its not there only for the purpose of luring players in. It is simultaneously a sticker and inclusion to family of Legacy games, which had so far only one member: Risk Legacy. And if ye had already heard something about it, you understand, that adventure full of twists and unique development awaits you and unique copy of your game will be created during this course.

Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) rated Twilight Struggle in Tabletop Games
Mar 7, 2018
The Struggle Is Real
Generally when someone in the board game community talks about a “thematic” game, there is a particular archetype they’re referring to–the science fiction or fantasy themed game with minis, elaborate artwork, and the promise of action, narrative, and adventure. Twilight Struggle does not look this kind of game. It’s set in the Cold War, has a functional but not flashy art design, and provides cardboard chits instead of plastic miniatures. However, Twilight Struggle is perhaps the most thematic game ever made.

Sarah and Aidan Cooper find a note hidden in a desk that leads them on a wild adventure. Could it be that the Peter and the Starcatchers books were real?
The book starts off a little slowly, but once it gets going, it's a wild ride. It takes the world they've created in the previous books and brings it to modern day America, so be sure to read the others first, but if you liked them, you'll like this one, too.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 KP) rated Devil's Food Cake Murder (Hannah Swensen, #14) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Matthew Walters has agreed to take the pulpit of the local church in Lake Eden while Reverend Bob and Claire take their honeymoon. But they've just left town when Hannah finds him shot next to a piece of her Devil's Food Cake. For those who love the characters, they'll find another fun adventure. Those who are frustrated by the love triangle of think the series is too light will find nothing to change their minds here.

You enjoy the adventure.The pictures can tell the story and goes along with it. Your children learn along the way with it. It great for beginner readers. The pictures are quite nicely down and you can enjoy the pictures and so can young children.The book does teach about the festival and teamwork and community.

Feb 15, 2018 (Updated Feb 15, 2018)
Marvel comedy-SF adventure that gambles big-time (doesn't feature a single character most people will have heard of), wins in spades due to great cast chemistry, effervescent script, and willingness to do something a bit different.
Motley crew of space ruffians meet in prison, find common cause (sort of), must stop would-be despot from causing untold devastation with plot device of ultimate power. Banging 70s and 80s soundtrack, obviously; looks fabulous too. Also strikes a welcome blow for inclusivity and representation of minorities (finally a film includes characters that raccoons and trees can identify with).

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!!!
