Surprising
I was pleasantly surprised by this one. The acting was good with interesting characters. The cinematography, imagery, effects were all very well done. The story unfolded ok but had a lot of very predictable parts. This was a "Steam Punk" future world with a lot of cool stuff in it but had just a bit of a "Star Wars-esque" feel to it. Not in a bad way, though. But the story, simplified, was that someone opened Pandora's box and the heroes had to shut it down. Anyway, if you enjoy a good sci-fi/action/adventure tale with just a smidge of love story thrown in, you'll really enjoy this movie. Worth a watch!

Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated A Clue in the Stew (Soup Lover's Mystery, #5) in Books
Feb 21, 2018
What a great cozy even thought this book (#5) was the first I had read in this series, by chapter three the main characters all felt like old friends. The story is full of twists and turns that kept me guessing right up to the end, and the authors smooth writing style kept the story flowing. If youve read any of the Soup Lovers Mysteries, you should love this one. If not, nows as good a time as any to start you dont need to have read the previous books to enjoy this story, and I did enjoy it!

A heartwarming story
I’ll be honest, this story had me from the get go simply from being set in my home city Manchester. It's so enjoyable to read a book set in a familiar surrounding, and I’m not sure I’ve ever read one set here before, and it made this book even more entertaining.
Story wise, it’s a bit fluffy and cheesy in parts, but it’s still a heartwarming tale of love and friendship, with a bit of humour and even sadness thrown in. All 4 of the main characters are well developed and easily relatable, and it’s one of those quick and easy well written books that you can’t help but find enjoyable.

This book was very short - I read it in 1 day.
I prefer books to be a bit longer - it wasn't really long to even get into.
It's a crime genre which I love but it was too short to real be much of a crime book that I would normally read.
Giving a review on a short story is not easy as I didn't see the characters grow and story didn't really go anywhere.
I wouldn't read the second book in series.
I would recommend to someone who losses interest quickly or doesn't like reading a long book.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.

Fantastic world/concept
Beautiful
True story telling, beautifully written. I was led through the story like a dream, completely immersed. I couldn't put it down. The writing is fantastic, I don't remember the text ever really explaining the concepts of the books (e.g. by characters explaining them) but somehow I found myself truely understanding it.
Plus the concept and fantasy world being is beautifully captivating.
This us how you write LGBTQ+ literature, no tokenism just pure story. I love the romance and felt everything I think the author entailed.
I would highly recommend this to all fantasy lovers - so glad I picked this up randomly in the library. This NEEDS to be talked about more!

3.75 stars. 4 stars for the first half, 3.5 stars for the second.
The author came out with a lot of wise words/phrases/comments in this book and made Charlotte seem older than her years but I guess she'd been through a lot in those 19 years .
I have to say that I might have liked it a little more if the story had ended after the 'I love yous' were spoken but at the same time I liked how the author wrote the rest of the story too. How not everyone was as bad as they came across initially and how every little side story got an ending.
I liked it.
