Yellow (Sydney Hart #2)

Book Rating

I love Tim's books, they always end up surprising you in the last 10% or so.

However, I didn't like this as much as the first. It might have been because it ran along the same lines as the first with the surprise or because I found myself struggling for the first 30-40% with the story line. I didn't find it as engaging as previous books I've read by the author. It was still a great story though.

Badass

The leading lady is so badass, the actress and/or stunt double has some serious skill in fighting in different disciplines. I like the story although I found some of it a little rushed.

The characters work well together and there are some funny bits. It also felt quite inclusive.

I want more and feel like there could be hundreds of other stories around the adventures of the old guard.

Book Rating

Beware The Night has gorgeous world-building with vivid imagery that creates a delicious backstory to the novel and many of the characters (such as Veda) are uniquely their own peeps. Although I wasn't particularly fond of the slow pacing or the unoriginal chosen one trope -- I still found the world itself and the way it impacted the characters to be a strong appeal here.

I genuinely look forward to where the series is going and would heartily recommend.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Rush of Blood to the Head by Coldplay in Music

May 4, 2020

Rolling Stone's 466th greatest album of all time

Maybe it's a sign of some poor albums immediately prior to this, but this was actually a pleasant surprise. I would have said I was dreading this album but found it ok. Quite a few of Coldplay's best-known songs are here, in fairly rapid succession. Which means the second half of the album is less familiar, and a little dreary. But on the whole this was a pleasant enough listen.
