Dumb-as-nails but unpretentious CW teen soap opera reimagining of a time travel film - in which the machine itself is built using parts from an Xbox 360 and there are prominent slo-mo shots of Red Bull cans flying through the air. And what's the most noteworthy thing they do with the power of time travel right at their fingertips? Go to an Imagine Dragons concert, of course! Seems like it hates its own existence, no question about it - this was only made to sell tickets and that's it. But there's something really stupidly fun about it - maybe it's the neurotic nature of each element (from the acting to the camerawork to the cutting to the writing etc), or the fact that people record a good chunk of this pointlessly (but thankfully) found footage Chronicle ripoff with their smartphones yet they still make the clunky old camera sounds? And when they *do* record with the 10+ year old camcorder (which still takes tape btw) it's somehow pristine HD quality? I also really have to appreciate that so much of this is dedicated to the actual anxiety of making the machine itself, too - rather than jumping right into the travel stuff. Kind of falls off when this becomes another lame YA romance deal but even then it's still so confidently dumb and committed to its daft premise that I had to admire it somewhat. Also whenever they turn the machine on and everything starts floating and spinning that shit is cool as fuck and you know it.

BROKEN FATES is the final book in the Severed Flames trilogy and gives a very satisfying conclusion to Vale's story.

Beginning from where Stolen Embers finished, Vale is on her own and doing everything in her power to rescue and protect her sister. Where are her dragons, I hear you ask? Well, they're doing their own thing.

All three of these books are full of spice and battles, and sometimes those things combine - I'm looking at you, Selene - and this one is no different. Everything that has happened has been building up to this book and it will take you on a rollercoaster ride as your emotions go through all the motions!

Now, a possible unpopular opinion - I really had had enough of the boys at the beginning of this one, Idris especially. Kian was and always will be my favourite and his self-realisation here only confirms that, although it took him long enough! And after they sort it out, they STILL think Vale is soft and fragile, not trusting in her or her abilities. I'm surprised I have any teeth left, I ground them that much!

Anyway, this story is completely outstanding from beginning to end and I have loved spending time in their world. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by me, just in case you were wondering.
