TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Storm Rising (Book of the Wars, #1) in Books
Feb 24, 2021
I absolutely LOVED this book (and so did my husband, who rarely likes reading) it had action, Biblical mystery, swirling relationships (Which hopefully we get to see in the next book) and many daring spy type stunts. A great book that pulls you in and does not want to let go, I read it a week ago and I still keep thinking about the possible scenarios. It was so hard to put down. If you have never read anything by Ronie Kendig this is a great one to start with, and one I highly recommend putting on your summer TBR Pile.
I give this book a 5 star rating for the many adventures, the depth of the characters, and for making me feel as though I was right there experiencing all of it first hand. Can not wait to read the next one in this series !!

Where do I start with this book?
Misty M. Beller wrote a beautiful story of adventure, love and exploring the great frontier. I believe that this is the first book in a series and let me tell you I will be reading the rest of the books in this series (Can I pre-pre- order it somewhere I wonder?). This book was so good, it is one of those books that feels like you are right there with the characters. Probably something to do with the psychology of the characters that touches something inside of you, and wow did this one work that for me.
The characters in this book were very well developed and had a clear sense of purpose right from the beginning. Misty M. Beller gives us some great father-daughter interactions as well as giving us French, Spanish, Southern and Native Americans all together to make some great moments around the campfire. The main characters in this book have things to work through, some together and separately and Misty M. Beller makes them do it quite believably. One of my favorite things about the book is the way Misty M. Beller shares the gospel throughout this book. She even worked in underlying themes of grace, forgiveness, grief over loss, and perseverance.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars for the plotline, the cool adventures the characters go on (I mean who hasn’t imagine going along Lewis & Clark’s trip up the Mississippi river?), and for grabbing hold of my emotions right from the start.

For the most part? Literal human torture. Screening this to the public should be outlawed. The type of movie where the credits roll at barely an hour and fifteen minutes but halfway through it feels like centuries have passed since the last time you saw the light of day. Salma Hayek and Jennifer Coolidge are - naturally - perfect, but the rest of this cast flounders around non-starter jokes that'd be tired even in 2013 ("hey look a dick lol", "hey look weed lol") with no chemistry to even make it a passable diversion. Also it looks like pure cardboard ass, you'd think this guy has never directed a movie before in his life. I particularly admire Haddish's career path of being really good in one thing and then just repeating that shtick with no alterations ad nauseum in a bunch of shit films until it's six feet under and no longer tolerable, let alone enjoyable (everyone should be legally obligated to say sike right now for panning 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘒𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘯 where she gives her most optimized, feverishly fiery and nuanced work that no one saw). If you think the title is cringy and outdated (one: you're right) then I can assure you the movie itself is moreso.

You can take me at my word as I've not been kidnapped by Pat Healy and forced to say this, I'm writing this under my own free will, that Take Me is highly entertaining and is a fun ride of a movie. I'm talking a tied up in the back of a van with no seatbelt or stuffed in a trunk and taken up a mountain road kind of fun ride. Pat Healy is one of the best actors out there right now in my opinion, and I highly suggest you let him take you for a couple of hours with his feature directorial debut Take Me.

This is a beautiful show. It pulls you in with characters that have understandable flaws and tangible humanity, with just the right amount of time travel and nuclear power thrown in.
It's not Stranger Things, don't compare the two. The only similarity is missing kids, and it ends there.
Watch it, but be prepared to focus. The layers of story are artfully crafted, spanning three generations and each one is vital to the story. Also, be prepared to not understand everything. That's okay, let the story peel itself apart slowly and deliciously. Very excited to see where this show goes.
