I love this series like crazy! In fact, I love all the authors work that I've read. 5 books so far and counting!

Then I have to answer Lindsay's question featured in her FAQ section. My answer is YES! I do want Amaranthe and Sicarius to get together eventually! It isn't enough for me to read him telling her "he cares"! I want romance! Please let there be romance in the next 5 books!

And back to the review. Well, if I'm honest, I cant really remember the first one. I remember it involved Sespian and that he quite liked Amaranthe but I remember very little about her gang, otherwise known as "The Emperor's Edge", or the rest of the plot. It was nice getting to know them all again.

I cant recommend this series enough!

Chris-Pratt starring sci-fi thriller, that initially comes across a bit like 'Minority Report' in that it is set in the near-future, and where law and order had more-or-less broken down until a new method of performing trials (here, by AI) is instituted.

In this, Pratt plays LA cop Chris Raven, who has just 90 minutes to prove his innocence whilst strapped into a chair that is counting down to lethal injection, over just who killed his wife. The bulk of this movie is thus carried largely on Pratt's shoulders (supported by Rebecca Ferguson's AI), with extensive use of video-cam footage as his character carries out an investigation without being physically present at the crime scene.

And, yes, the identity of the real killer is pretty obvious from early on.

You can't really judge a film this old (93 years and counting) by modern standards, as it is the product of an entirely different sensibility and is in a mode we rarely see nowadays - it's not naturalistic and doesn't want to be, instead presenting an almost impressionistic series of images as it tells its story.

You might expect it to be slow and heavy, but for the first hour and a bit this rattles along at a tremendous pace - the Devil makes a bet with an Archangel for the soul of the alchemist Faust, granting him eternal youth, wealth, worldly pleasures, and so on. It's still visually impressive and often unexpectedly funny (Emil Jannings as the Devil gives a great comic performance)- a bit earnest and melodramatic in places, but you kind of expect that. Very watchable - I hope I look this good when I'm 93.
