Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Wilde Card (Immortal Vegas, #2) in Books

Jan 7, 2021

3.5 stars.

I got a little lost in the middle but this series is all action, action, action. From pretty much the first page Sara is on a hunt that turns quite entertaining and it didn't stop there.

I am enjoying this series, the whole tarot card thing is different to normal and though I know nothing of it, I'm learning little bits here and there.

Looking forward to reading more of Sara and the Magician, and whatever is currently blooming between them.

Off to start the last book in the trilogy boxset.

Movie Favorite

"High and Low is my personal favorite Kurosawa movie. I love everything about it: the chamber piece of the first half, the sprawling police hunt that follows, the fact that Toshiro Mifune’s character is so committed to making high-quality women’s shoes. And there are so many great moments throughout: the pink smoke, the train sequence, the amazing ending scene. I find it so stunning and effective, and I love the way the film gets at themes of class and social inequality in the form of such an exciting procedural crime thriller."

I think this is my fourth book by the author and i know she writes some crazy things but i really struggled with this. I didn't get her justification behind the killing of the mafia guy at the beginning. Why not just hit him over the head with something hard and heavy? Why go hunt out the gun hidden in the apartment?

Oh, well. DNF @ 26%

I felt nothing for the characters or the storyline just because i didnt understand her reasoning behind the above incident.

Not for me.

Book Rating

Better than Dawson's novel (0 more)

This graphic novel was published during the hype leading up to TLJ. Of course, Phasma's part ended up being anti-climactic and trash.
This picks up right after TFA, and Phasma's quest to hunt down the First Order officer that gave information to the Resistance so they could blow up Starkiller. Obviously, it was Phasma that did it, but she's on a quest to pin it on someone else.
Other than demonstrating Phasma's ruthlessness, there was no real additional information given about her character.
