This one has been on my list for ages. I feel a bit stingy giving it 3 stars but for me this was nothing special. I enjoyed it and finished it after a few days but left with no interest to continue with the series and I will likely forget about it in a month or two.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age
2018 | Action/Adventure
First main dragon quest game played and very impressed with the mechanics of the battle system. (0 more)
For instance you can control all 4 characters in your party or decide to have 3 on automatic commands. Characters can either stay I a line or can be moved when it's their turn around the battle circle ,giving a great choice that can be played traditionally in a battle line of move players around the battle arena , giving a more engaged feeling with the fighting.
Overall story 8/10
Old school Jrpg feel 10/10
Battle /fighting mechanics 7/10(took me 40 hrs in game before i NEEDED to upgrade a character before a boss battle.However there is a hard mode to compensate which you are asked at the start of the game)

HIS LORDSHIP'S GIFT is a short story, fitting in between books 2 and 3. In it, it is Christmas time but with everything going on recently, Dominick had completely forgotten about it. What follows is a delightful story of him looking for ideas and giving, what he thinks, is best for Alfie.

A sweet story for these two, giving a bit of lightheartedness to them following all the drama. A quick read but thoroughly enjoyable nevertheless. Definitely recommended by me, so long as you've read the prior books.

** same worded review will appear elsewhere **

I am giving a slightly generous three star rating because the more poignant and heartfelt beats of the film are the ones that truly won my heart. These are the elements in movies this year that are celebrating the hearts and strength of women everywhere.
Critic- Mark Saldana
Original Score: 3 out of 5

I personally loved this movie. For me it had the perfect balance of magic, fun and danger as well as magical beasts. Whilst it doesn't strictly fit with the HP movies and books, it was a very enjoyable watch with seamless cgi. It also does an admirable job of explaining the complex storyline without giving everything away and leaving several unanswered questions.

I look forward to this podcast every Monday. These 3 brothers have such a unique style of comedy. and in addition to the main format of the show - giving "advice" via Yahoo answers submissions, there are other unique segments like "Munch Squad," which reviews new innovations in the fast food world. This podcast will have you laughing until it hurts.

Very well crafted story... loved the dialogue between characters. I really enjoyed this read more than I had expected to. I thought it would be a rushed and unsuitable companion to the first story... I was wrong. I cannot express in words- without giving away crucial details filled with spoilers- how great this read was. I give it a high re-readability.

Odd but sweet sentiment
When I heard the story of how the book came to be I almost didn't believe someone would go around in a makeshift ambulance giving poetry to heal but the poetry is uplifting and really helps when you're down - no it's not going to take those feelings away but it's nice to know others have the same as you.
