Although this was short, it was very well written, with no editing or grammatical errors that I found. This is enough to whet your appetite and definitely leave you wanting more. Definitely recommended.

Chill Factor ( Weather wardens 3)
By Rachel Caine
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Weather Warden Joanne Baldwin has protected the human race from monster storms, been killed, reborn as a Djinn, and then restored to her original form. Now she's throwing the dice to stop an infinitely powerful, deeply disturbed kid-who is holed up in a Vegas hotel-from bringing on a new ice age.
There were a few shockers in the last half of the book and I enjoyed it much more than the first half. I struggled at first and found some of it a little annoying. But overall a good read and a must for important information in the series.

David McK (3649 KP) rated Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022) in Movies

So much so, that he got his own spin-off in 2011 'Puss in Boots' which, from memory, I felt lacked the spark of his earlier entries.
So much so, that it was just over a decade later that he got his second solo movie, in this.
Which, artistically (and, I felt, to it's detriment) takes its cue from the 'Into the Spider-verse' movies and so, like those, comes across as an over-caffeinated sugar-rush of a headache, which (IMO) overshadows the whole message about found family and living your life to its fullest.
YMMV, of course.

All have one thing in common: they all have faced down, and defeated, a member of the Predator species.
And all, in the 4th 'chapter' of the film, are brought to fight each other in an arena on the Predator homeland.
I found this to be an OK watch: it never really caught my attention all that much, which might be why I watched it over roughly the course of a month, 1 roughlt 25 minute or so, 'chapter' per week.

Thankfully, all three are stand-alone.
This one is set in the relatively near future and on the moon, where Artemis is the first - and, currently, only - city there, and where life can be rough.
Which is why the protagonist Jasmine "Jazz" Bashara turns to smuggling alongside her 'proper' job as a porter. And, inevitably, finds herself involved in a conspiracy for control of the city when things go sideways.
Personally, I found this to be a bit weaker than either The Martian or Project Hail Mary but, well, tastes may differ!
