David McK (3731 KP) rated Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019) in Movies
Jun 10, 2020
Sequel to 2014s Maleficent, that is now freed from the constraints of having to tell the Sleeping Beauty fairytale from the point of view of the wicked Queen.
With the plot here set in motion by a marriage proposal to Aurora, she and Maleficent travel to meet her suitors parents, including Michelle Pfeiffer as Queen Ingrith, who proves to be a 'real' Wicked Queen (that's no spoiler!), and who engineers a war against the fae folk.
In short: slightly better than the first, but still not brilliant.

BookwormMama14 (18 KP) rated In the Shadow of Denali (The Heart of Alaska #1) in Books
Jan 2, 2019
Excuse me while I find a train headed to Alaska...THIS book makes me want to visit Alaska even more than I did before. The beauty and the majestic land is captured in a way that speaks to the adventurous corners of my heart. Denali in all its wonder, is a sight that I want to see with my own eyes. Tracie and Kimberley have brought us an incredible story of faith and forgiveness set in the heart of the frontier of Alaska. The dangers, beauty, and awe of the land are expressed in detail on every page.
There are multiple viewpoints in this book which I love, but can be maddening at times. As the reader we can see ALMOST the whole picture, there are a few details that must work themselves out as we read. But in other situations, I just wanted to slap the characters and tell them what was REALLY going on. That being said, I really do enjoy the specific viewpoints that the authors highlighted.
In the Shadow of Denali is filled with so many emotions. Heartbreak, unforgiveness, hatred towards God, jealousy, greed, and yet we also see tender love, strong family bond, sweet surrender to Christ, forgiveness, and inner beauty. This is a journey that I am excited to continue! Travel back to 1923 and experience the mountain for yourself. The book ends with a tender, romantic scene that simply took my breath away. I am eagerly looking forward to the next installment of Heart of Alaska.
