Join Jack, May, and Phillip as they journey through this alternative take on fairy tales. All the characters you know are here, and help or keep our trio from completing their quest to save their kingdom from an evil plot.

All three books in the series are in this set, and they are all compelling reads. You'll want to read them all back to back. There's action, great characters, plot twists, and sarcasm. You can't go wrong.

One of those books I wanted to really love going in, because there just isn't much lesbian fiction out there, and what is out there, well most of it really isn't that good. This book was actually pretty well-written and quite compelling -- I blew through it about 2 or 3 days -- though I was a bit dejected that the main (lesbian) character was a murderer (don't worry, that's not a spoiler). If it's a not cheesy lesbian romance, us gays must be murderers and crazy people. Still, the tale was interesting and quite beautiful, at times, in a weird, melancholy way.

Although I did not see in 3D (probably would've been better), I found this movie entertaining as well as beautiful on my 4K TV.

The story of a boy stranded on a lifeboat with mainly a Bengal tiger is interesting and is a metaphor at the same time. Any story of survival is usually compelling and this one is no different.


The visuals, cinematography and art direction were beautiful


Don't think it deserved a Best Director Academy Award for Ang Lee; however, the choices were pretty weak that year so I guess it is what it is.

We get it, Karou and Akiva must suffer, but do they have to suffer *that* much? Just let them be together already (0 more)

After three books of radically different story telling with amazing, intelligent, and interesting characters, I was ready for this book to end about 100 pages before it did. By the end of the novel, I felt that the Stelian plot was stretched a little too thin, and I would've have been happy enough to see Karou and Akiva fly off to resurrect her people ... screw the Stelians.

WW2 London brought to life (0 more)
Unputdownable
This is the first book in a six part series, following the lives of several key characters in a South London community, from the outset of WW2 to VE Day. The novels just get stronger and stronger and the action moves into the European conflict too. The characters are really well drawn, the women are strong, there ls humour, romance, action, pathos and Just purely compelling storylines. Recommended for any reader who likes a brilliant ongoing series. I’ve loved all the books thus far. Last one comes out in April 2018. Hope others will enjoy too.
