Merissa (13958 KP) rated Hunter Sacrificed (Wild Hunt, #0.5) in Books

If you know anything about Gods and Goddesses of any pantheon, then you will know that things are never smooth and simple. Instead, confusion abounds until such time as it makes sense. This is how I would describe Hunter Sacrificed. It is a short prequel that nevertheless manages to impart a huge amount of information. You learn about Minerva and Arawn, the Triad, and how the Wild Hunt comes to be.

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.

Movie Rating

Antonio Banderas' Zorro-alike Puss in Boots was arguable the break-out star from Shrek 2.

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.

David McK (3773 KP) rated Killer of killers (2025) in Movies

Aug 10, 2025 (Updated Aug 10, 2025)

Animated anthology-in-all-but name, set in the Predator universe, clearly delineated into 4 segments as follows:

1) A Viking Warrior
2) A Japanese Samurai
3) A WW2 American pilot

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.
