Sarah (7800 KP) rated Thor: Ragnarok (2017) in Movies
Nov 5, 2017 (Updated Nov 6, 2017)
One of the best Marvel films
This is definitely the best Thor film by far, and up there as being one of the best Marvel films in general.
It's so much fun, and the humour in it is brilliant. It's very funny, and Korg has to be my new favourite character. The action scenes were marvellous and the sfx too. The whole 80s neon theme works really well, especially with the awesome soundtrack. The plot was interesting and serious, but with the humour in it felt a lot more lighthearted than other recent Marvel films. This seemed much more along the same lines as the Guardians of the Galaxy films.
I loved some of the new characters like Valkyrie and the Grandmaster, although my only negative is that I felt Karl Urban and Idris Elba were a little underused. Need more Heimdall!

The character development
The way it's approached as a real memoir
Just the writing in general
One of the best fantasy series around
This is a review more for the entire series as a whole.
Lady Trent has been an absolutely fascinating character to read about for the past few years and the character development you see happens naturally throughout all five books of her memoirs. As the final instalment of an amazing series, Within the Sanctuary of Wings is a suitable conclusion for her adventures and completely outstripped my expectations.
In a series of this size there's usually a dip of quality at some point, but somehow Marie Brennan was able to avoid that and kept the pace of the story going without a wasted word and a clear idea of where she wanted the story to go.

Performances
An interesting take on a familiar concept
Zombie movies are one a penny at this point, but I was looking forward to this since seeing the first trailer. It looked very inspired by a video game that I am a huge fan of, The Last Of Us and I was curious to know if it compared.
In general, the movie is pretty good, it is a cool concept that is fairly well executed. Paddy Considine, Glenn Close and Gemma Arterton give great performances and the young actress in the title role does a decent job too. The direction is good, the sound design and lighting is effective and the ending is unexpected.
Overall this is worth a watch, it's not going to go down as the greatest zombie movie in history, but it is an interesting piece of film.

Kayleigh Garner (59 KP) rated Harley Merlin and the Secret Coven in Books
Jun 8, 2019
When I started reading this, I did not have very large expectations. I'd never heard of the author but when it popped up on my Goodreads, I thought I might aswell give it a chance.
I'm so glad I did! The character, Harley, is a spunky 19 year old who has an amazing fiery attitude. When she meets Wade, I expected her to become this sappy girl - like a lot of female characters can become - but he seems to make her even more fiery, which makes for hilarious reading.
The general pace of the plot is fantastic, you're constantly left wondering what is going on but in a good way and the twist at the end is perfect and definitely unexpected.
I would definitely recommend this book. It's easy to read and enjoyable. I'm well into the second instalment and I am hooked!!!

gayga (2128 KP) rated The Rosie Project: No. 1: Don Tillman in Books
Jan 19, 2018 (Updated Jan 19, 2018)
Genetisist Don Tillman is looking for a wife, so he creates The Wife Project, a questionnaire looking to weed out any unsuitable women.
Don has Asperger's and finds it hard to behave in an acceptable manner.
He meets Rosie, who is everything his list says he doesn't need. Rosie has her own issues, and looks for Don's help. Can he throw the rule book away and see that Rosie is all he need?
As someone who has Asperger's, I sympathize with some of Don's traits, though in general his are more extreme than mine. I didn't realise there was an Asperger's slant on this and I was a bit, wary at how it would be portrayed. I found the book extremely enjoyable and would recommend it to anyone.
