(Forgive typos I'm reviewing on my tablet)
I was ecstatic when this was first announced. Honestly it's been on my to buy list for months. Thanks to the pandemic, however, I never got the chance.
So when I found this while browsing Libby for a quick read I grinned like the Cheshire cat and checked it out pronto.
I wasn't disappointed. The art makes it seem like the characters jumped out of an episode.
The story is solid it just...
Ended too quickly I guess?
I mean the ending was good but too fast for me.

This series has really stepped up now, I am so excited to read the next one it seems like it will be epic.
I loved this installment, the characters were great as was the coming of age angst and final battle. The valgs and continued mystery to the whole plot were really great and pretty scary.
My only criticism is the relationship between Celeana and Rowan, who is suddenly forgiven without much of a lash back from Celeana, which to me goes against her character. I also found the blood oath bit repetitive.

Still hilarious as hell. Its breakneck energy, spastic animation, and frenetic joke-ifying forever influenced the current playing field for fast-paced children's blockbusters such as The Lego Movie(s) and its subsequent clones - good or ill. The inescapable hype around this back in the day was totally deserved because we'd seldom really seen anything like this at the time, and it's truly sad this is looked upon less fondly today just because it isn't as revolutionary as it once seemed. It still very much is imo, and how can one even try to deny that voice cast and role subversion?

I enjoyed coming back to that characters after such a long break. It's like meeting up with old friends after months of dealing with life, family, and work. Unfortunately, as much as I adored Garret and Maybe's story, I wasn't as enamored as I was with Jake and Conor's. The mystery behind their secrets honestly held no interest for me and I felt like the two of them fell a little too fast, if not too hard. I will, however, read the final book to lean about Lorne and how things turn out for him now that he's out of prison.

A bachelor goose must form a bond with two lost ducklings as they journey south.
This may have dented my love of children's films just a little bit.
A cat with a split personality and some fairly difficult to love characters were only part of my problem with this film. It was a predictable and not nearly entertaining enough to make up for that fact.
However the worst bit was the opening sequence. Everything is done so fast that it's almost impossible to work out what is actually going on, and worse for me, it set off my motion sickness.

Oh girl... Don't get me started. You had me from the midnight kisses and the tremolo.

Like a fast car waiting for the green to go this feels like the Nashville machine took a second to say what's up with real life: young love and maybe a night out on the town. It's the candy you want at the end of the party; a fusion of Nashville pop and Country know-how.

Classic Jack Reacher....I read somewhere that every man wants to be Reacher & every woman wants him ...True or not Reacher is a refreshing change to most heros as he comes with no baggage ...physically or mentally ..allowing the reader to just enjoy the plot with no 'angst' & as there is no continuing back story the series of books can be read in any order. Author Lee Child always delivers a fast paced thrill ride with no unnecessary page filling or padding making the books real page turners that pack a punch...or sometimes in Reachers case a kick! X
