BeardyJim (611 KP) rated Happier Than Ever by Billie Eilish in Music
Oct 18, 2021
Billie's ethereal vocals are always outstanding, and this latest offering almost has an "older" feel to it in places. It's more upbeat in general, but has some old-timey sounds to certain songs (the title track, "Happier Than Ever" in particular, until about half way through).
One thing I did notice, is the songs seem less edgy (in their sound, not the lyrics)... so there aren't any tracks which are really comparable to earlier songs like Bad Guy, or You Should See Me In A Crown etc.
The inlay cover and artwork is all very nice, and beautifully presented in a gatefold-style cardboard case.
All-in-all though, it's a nice evolution of Billie's music, and I'm interested to see how she progresses over time.

Emma Webster is a Labour MP, who is a victim of online abuse: death threats, rape threats, threats of acid attacks, trolling and just general online unpleasantness. It’s a big change from her life as a teacher, but she decides that she wants to serve the people of her constituency.
But all does not go as she would like it to, and the reputation that she fought so hard for, begins to fall apart.
This is a tense courtroom drama, which left me wondering if Emma was a reliable narrator or not. Put in the same situation, I would have had a very similar reaction - Emma wants to protect her daughter from all harm - as well as her own reputation.
This was such a tense, suspenseful read on The Pigeonhole, which had me guessing right up to the very last page (I’ll be honest, if I had been reading the book, I would have flicked to the end - it was seriously anxiety-inducing!).
Highly recommended!

This series has a lot of potential for me as there was so much I thoroughly enjoyed about it. The shifters, the 'bond' between the guards and the Queen, Darian, Brice, Tara, Shay - it's all there. I can't wait to read more and follow this series through.
A romantic fantastical read that was absolutely brilliant to read. Witty, funny, focused, and mysterious are all words I would use to describe it. Highly recommended.

Anyway, all that said, this is solidly mid-tier stuff: better than the Ang Lee version from circa 2003, sure, but not up there with the likes of The Winter Soldier or Avengers Assemble.
