Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Emblaze (The Violet Eden Chapters, #3) in Books
Sep 6, 2019
4.5 stars.
This series is so mature considering Violet's age. It's brilliant! I can't wait to see whether Violet and Lincoln will figure out the soul-mates thing. What's going to happen with Phoenix? What's going to happen after that ending?
Luckily I can find out, because I'm going straight into book 4!

Rolling Stone's 310th greatest album of all time
Brilliant rock album. While everyone is aware of "Give it away" and "Under the bridge", this album offers so much more. From the funky rock songs, to the more hippy tracks and the stomping rock anthems it is a non-stop stream of belters.

Pre entertainment where good and evil fight
Derek Landy's 'Skullduggery Pleasant' series is great. i read them to my son, so when Demon road came out I got it for him and he recommended I read it too. I was pleasantly surprised, Landy has created a trilogy that is brilliant and very cinematic.
This takes place in our world and in our world are demons, some of whom have made deals with high demons for powers and in return has to do terrible things as payment. The lead character is the daughter of such demons but is a normal girl...until she hits puberty. But then she finds out her parents don't quite have her best interests at heart.
I don't read many teen books unless sent for me to review or because i am reading to my kids but this is a gripping brilliant read. it is so cinematic it deserves to become a movie.
Characters are very strong, the adventure is adrenaline fuelled and its done in a completely non cheesy way. Its brilliant and I went straight to book two afterwards.

A Darkness at Sethanon is the stunning climax to Raymond E. Feist's brilliant epic fantasy trilogy, the Riftwar Saga.
Here be dragons and sorcery, swordplay, quests, pursuits, intrigues, stratagems, journeys to the darkest realms of the dead and titanic battles between the forces of good and darkest evil.
Here is the final dramatic confrontation between Arutha and Murmandamus - and the perilous quest of Pug the magician and Tomas the warrior for Macros the Black. A Darkness at Sethanon is heroic fantasy of the highest excitement and on the grandest scale, a magnificent conclusion to one of the great fantasy sagas of our time.
Omg!!! I was at one point about to throw the book in the bin sneaky sneaky killing of Arutha I was distraught!! Poor Jimmy. But all was well that sneaky prince ran off to save the world! This is one series I've absolutely loved! Raymond E Feist is a fantastic writer I'd love to see this series developed into films it would rival lord of the rings! I was in awe at the last 5 chapters. Brilliant brilliant set of books!!!

Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated Doctor Who: Supremacy of the Cybermen in Books
Jan 12, 2018
Some absolutely BRILLIANT moments couched in a substandard story from George Mann. Which is disappointing, because normally his Who work is so on point. instead this is a fairly middling affair. I liked it, but felt I really could have been wowed by it with just a few changes. Full review available on www.travelingthevortex.com
