Kristina (502 KP) rated Undone (Will Trent, #3) in Books
Dec 7, 2020
Karin is good at suspense; heck, not good, great. But I felt so much frustration with this book. I just wanted to know. Each misleading piece of information made me more irritated. Angie's return had my teeth clenching - I really do not like that woman. I liked Undone, but it's not my favorite Slaughter/Will Trent book and I can only hope I don't feel the same way about the next installment.

Enjoyed this as much as Gabe aggravated me at times
I chuckled a few times, I cried a little, I willed them to stop being so stupid and just get together...and when they finally gave in, it was beautiful! But Gabe up to that point annoyed me a lot. I guess he had his reasons for being how he was, but he wasn't helping me like him any!
Nevertheless, I did enjoy reading this.

This novel is AMAZING! The narrative is excellent and the timing is impeccable. The structure is unique and well-done. This story deals with the post-apocalypse in a much more internalized way so that it just feels like another occurrence. The real mastery is the character development and poignant situations which are relatable and incredible all at once. Definitely one of my favorites of the year and an indisputable must read!

JSG87 (8 KP) rated Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 (2018) in Movies

Great animation. (1 more)
Great acting.
Long runtime. (1 more)
Not as funny as the first movie.
Ralph doesn't quite strike gold for the second time.
Thinking of Wreck it Ralph you'll usually think of the first movie and unfortunately for the sequel you'll probably still think of the first one. That's not to say that the second one is bad, it just can't quite leave the shadow of greatness that was the first movie.
The jokes fall a little flatter, and the friendship between the main duo is kinda creepy in a sense, at least when it comes to how much Ralph can't let Vanellope go. It also feels exceptionally long for an animated movie.
Moving to the good... It is at least still funny albeit not as funny as the first. Vanellope is still the main draw even though the film has the name Ralph in it. He just can't compare to Vanellope who steals all the scenes she's in.
If you like Kids movies I'd recommend this anyway and if you like Animated movies it's as good as the majority of them. Just don't go into it thinking it's gonna be as amazing as the first movie.

Rainbow Rowell basically wrote fanfiction which was based on her book Fangirl, which I was completely up for. I loved Cath’s little snippets of fanfiction throughout the book so to read a whole book of it?! Yes please!
I completely fell in love with Simon and Baez in Fangirl, so I was really excited to finally be able to read some more of their story.
I don’t think it quite lived up to my expectations, though. Through Fangirl, I can remember thinking that the Simon Snow books just sounded like a rip off of Harry Potter which I was okay with because it wasn’t the main plot of the book. But then reading Carry On was just like reading some Harry Potter fanfiction which I hadn’t been expecting and I found quite disappointing.
I was hoping for more of an original plot but this retelling of the ‘chosen one’ plot just really didn’t work as an ‘original’ story.
Overall I feel that it could have been written better. I enjoy reading fanfics which is why this is still a 3 from me, but for an author as good as Rainbow Rowell, it was a bit disappointing.

Cyn Armistead (14 KP) rated The Mammoth Book of Paranormal Romance (Otherworld Stories) in Books

I'm extremely surprised by how much I enjoyed this anthology! I picked it up intending to just read the stories by authors I know I like—Kelley Armstrong, Ilona Andrews, Carrie Vaughn, Holly Lisle, Jeaniene Frost, Maria V. Snyder. I had never heard of some of the other authors. A few names I remembered seeing in other anthologies and not enjoying their work.
I did, however, deliberately put myself in a tolerant mindset: this is a book of romance stories. It wouldn't be fair to judge them as anything else.
That worked rather better than it has in the past. I still got a little annoyed at having so much of each story dedicated to couples (and all het/mono couples, at that!) rather than some intriguing world ideas, but managed to stay on track.
In the end, I only skipped one story—I just don't like the Weather Wardens stuff at all. I found a couple of others substandard, but all in all, Telep chose very well. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys paranormal romance (maybe even those who usually stick to just romance), and most urban fantasy fans.

a superpower roller coaster
Damn where to even start when it comes to this book the characters were all amazing they really felt like real people the plot was great it kept me interested the entire time even when I kind of figured where it was going I didn't actually mind it at all I'm actually kind of red faster cuz I wanted to see if I was right. I will admit I'm a huge Marissa Mayer fan I love all her books she truly isn't talented writer and with Renegades she just continues to get better her World building is amazing and holy crap that ending just kept me hugs and I cannot wait for the second book.
One of my favorite things about the book is just how diverse the cast is and she did it in a way that didn't feel forced like a lot of authors work does. I love how it does switch point of views and you do get to see the internal struggle that's the two main characters are going through. I really can't wait to get in even deeper in the next book.
