David McK (3938 KP) rated Aquaman and the lost kingdom (2023) in Movies
Sep 1, 2024
If I had to choose one word to describe this movie, that would be it.
And I mean colourful literally: lots of gold, green and blue splashed across the screen.
Anyway, this is a direct sequel to 2018s 'Aquaman', picking up roughly 4 years after the events of that film and with Arthur Curry now married, ruling Atlantis and with a kid of his own.
However, David Cain's Black Mantis has not forgiven nor forgotten about Aquaman, and has recently come into possession of long-forgotten Atlantean magick/tech (hence 'the lost kingdom' of the title) and is still out for revenge on Arthur Curry and his family, leading Arthur to have to break his own brother Orm (the Oceanmaster of the previous film) out of custody and seek a way to counter the threat ...
If this is the last of the current DCEU, I have to say, it's a bit 'wet' (pun intended) of a closure.

The Lady of the Ravens ( Queens of the Tower book 1)
By Joanna Hickson
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Elizabeth of York, her life already tainted by dishonour and tragedy, now queen to the first Tudor king, Henry the VII.
Joan Vaux, servant of the court, straining against marriage and motherhood and privy to the deepest and darkest secrets of her queen. Like the ravens, Joan must use her eyes and her senses, as conspiracy whispers through the dark corridors of the Tower.
Through Joan’s eyes, The Lady of the Ravens inhabits the squalid streets of Tudor London, the imposing walls of its most fearsome fortress and the glamorous court of a kingdom in crisis.
It was good. I enjoyed it but got slightly bored towards the end. I’m a huge fan of the Tudors and liked reading this adaptation of the start of their reign. It was a decent read.
