David McK (3854 KP) rated King of the North (Fire Born #4) in Books
Oct 22, 2023
I'm never really sure what to make of Angus Donald's 'Fire born' series.
Of which this is the fourth.
Personally, I think I've always preferred his Outlaw Chronicles, followed by the Holcroft Blood trilogy, with these Viking-era bringing up the rear.
Having said that, it is what it is.
In this particular entry, Bjarki and his sister Tor end up involved in the little-known (and semi-legendary) Battle of Bravellir, initially on opposite sides of the Shield Wall.
I have to say, it's a battle that I have never heard of before ...
Anyway, the result is an OK read, but (as previously stated, and for my money) the characters and history are just not as interesting as those in the Outlaw Chronicles or in the Holcroft Blood series.
I'll still probably read any future entries, though.

Jenny Houle (24 KP) rated Heart and Brain: Body Language: An Awkward Yeti Collection in Books
Jan 13, 2018
I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley for an unbiased opinion.
The Awkward Yeti may very well be my favorite online comic. This newest collection will make awesome holiday presents for any of your friends that feel the same way. The daily battle between our hearts and our brains is perfectly depicted. So happy I got a chance to review this.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Lost Stars (Star Wars) in Books
Apr 21, 2018
I was wary reading a book by Claudia Gray, as the only book I'd read by her, I absolutely couldn't stand. This book made me change my opinion of the author.
The novel features two friends that grew up together, joined the Imperial Academy, then one became a rebel. It was a quick read, and the book went right up to the Battle of Jakku.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Duel (1971) in Movies
Jun 13, 2019
A classic Thriller
For 1971 this was a very good if simple thriller about a battle of wits between a truck driver and a salesman on a long road trip. One of Spielberg's earlier films and shot in just 16 days. This cat and mouse thriller has inspired many other films and TV episodes since. If you haven't seen it track it down.
Rachel Maria Berney (114 KP) rated By Jove in Tabletop Games
Dec 4, 2018
Love Mythology, you'll love this game
I picked this up as axmas pressies for my hubby as he loves a good board game and we both love Mythology. It's an old game but brilliant. It's like a questing mythical version of monopoly. Lots of fun and I always win. Collect the golden fleece, battle the minotaur and escape the labyrinth, plenty of fun.
AT (1676 KP) rated Erased, Vol. 4 in Books
Jul 27, 2019
I enjoyed the final volume of Erased just as much as the others. The culmination was a reminder that the series was written for a teenage reading audience. However, it was still a great series that I would recommend to anyone looking for a non-battle-based manga series. I'd say this is definitely for older teens, because of what goes on in the story.
