Alison Pink (7 KP) rated The Blood of Olympus (The Heroes of Olympus #5) in Books

Oh boy! He did it again...a cliffhanger, sort of. There was definitely room left at the end of this book for another series to be sprouted from this one. But, I for one, am not complaining at all! Every single book in every series Riordan has written have been great. This one was no exception at all. I was honestly afraid to read the last hundred pages or so because I was so afraid of what was going to happen or maybe I should say who was going to live or die. I have to say I am not at all disappointed with the conclusion of this series. I hesitate to even say more than that because I don't want to ruin it for all the fans out there. So I think I'll just end by saying I can't wait for the next series...Norse mythology.

The Wachowski siblings are on fine form (3 more)
The idea
The way it was executed
Stunning location, stunning writing and stunning acting
Instant classic
This series has to be one of the best shows Netflix has put their money behind. The original story follows eight individuals as they're visited by a strange vision of a blonde woman. Soon, they find themselves able to visit each other's minds, share their skills and pop up in the strangest of places - all as part of this new cluster they find themselves in. But there's some danger with their newfound ability.
As you'd expect from the Wachowski siblings, it's beautifully complicated and at no point do they talk down to their audience. Everything is wrapped tightly in mystery and you learn things naturally throughout the course of the story. Pretty much every episode feels like a cliffhanger and the story comes to a crashing crescendo.

Find me when you wake up
Action packed, two of the worlds best actors, fairly easy story to follow BUT the ending.
What was with that ending? Unless another film is in the works - a film shouldn't EVER finish basically on a cliffhanger. A bad ending can ruin a film HOWEVER the ending in my opinion can be salvaged by some kind of clarification like a sequel. I've seen it a handful of times and I'm still struggling to see where the writers were leaving the story.
Other than the ending I did enjoy it, liked how kind of unique it was especially in a world where there is a million films with Aliens etc it stands out to me.
I would recommend a watch, see how you feel on the ending!

I was very intrigued by this book from the description and it immediately pulled me in. I came into the story expecting magic and a similarity to the Secret Circle. That is not at all how this book ended up being. It turned my expectations on their head. The Graces: perfect, different and maybe a little bit feared. To be honest, it read a little like the Cullens from Twilight. The main character is just a normal girl that gets pulled into their dazzling orbit and her life is changed. There is drama, heartbreak and completely unexpected twists and turns throughout. The entirety of the plot was unexpected and I could never foresee what was going to happen. It ends on a cliffhanger that makes you want to know what happens next. Not highly recommended, but give it a shot and see how you feel.

I put off reading this book at first because I just knew I wouldn't be able to put it down!? If you've read any of Aleatha's books, you know exactly what I mean... and as expected, not one chapter in and I was hooked. It was everything you would expect from one of Aleatha's books... Alexandria (Alex aka Chari) takes one weeks vacation away to be the risk-taking, brave girl she never is.. only to meet the mysterious, commanding and sexy as hell, Nox. One week.. no names, no history, no future, nothing more.... could you do it? Could you walk away from the best week of your life and never look back? One day read! My GOD I can't wait for the next book!? Left on a cliffhanger and am so excited to have FOUR more coming in the future! Can't wait for more Nox & Charli!
Awix (3310 KP) rated La derniere vague (The Last Wave) in TV
Aug 8, 2020
Le goings-on spooky in the south of France: a mysterious, apparently sentient cloud which may or may not embody nature's vengeance on civilisation abducts a group of surfers for five hours and then returns them, with strange powers. (Not that the media takes any notice of any of this.) This provides everyone in town with un beaucoup lovely chance to work through all their various personal issues before the end of the last episode.
Comes across a bit like a mid-table Stephen King novel, or possibly just a very glossy soap opera with a guest appearance by Giant Space Monster Dogorah. Fairly engaging stuff, though unlikely to feel terribly original to the clued-up viewer; passes the time nicely without demanding your full attention. Avoids too many explanations (they're clearly hoping for a second season), which could be irritating, but the end-of-series cliffhanger is okay.

I didn't think a book could be better than Scarlet Princess... until Tarnished Crown came along.
Rowan’s penchant for landing herself in almighty trouble continues in this epic second instalment of the Lochlann Feuds series.
Written from Rowan's POV, we explore more of the mysterious Socair kingdom and encounter dangerous fights, evil opponents and political plots galore!
However, with hilarious banter, saunas, cats and a lot of butt chat, TC definitely has moments that made me laugh out loud.
As always the Queens of the Cliffhanger (I'm going to make this nickname stick!) keep us guessing until the very end. They can probably hear my frustrated screams all the way across the sea.
I can't wait for Obsidian Throne! Like actually can't wait. Can we have it now please? 💜💜
I received an ARC of this book from the authors in exchange for an honest review.

Never expect an end to a great series
Wonderful book but a warning, don't expect to finish the series. The author seems to literally postpone writing the last, or at least next, book in the series for anything, and I mean anything. Like playing video games, and he brags/laughs about it on his social media. So not sure I should recommend this book no matter how good the series is, because the author seems very unmotivated to finish the cliffhanger you are left with in the second book.
A great series that may start a bit slow, but picks up fairly quickly as we go throughout the main characters life. The first book leads into the second, and the second should lead to a third, but once again the problem is you are left in the second before what feels like the big climax that if the third ever happens should be an epic conclusion.
