Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Seeker (Keeper Duology #2) in Books

Dec 31, 2019

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This but book was a lot of fun and a breeze to read.

I hadn't read the first one and it jumps straight into the action but there's some pretty decent exposition to help along.

I really liked the fact that it was told from three points of view.

I think Ty's story was my favorite but I adored Maggie's comic book love.

And hooray for strong friendships between women!

Solo was amazing! I loved it! Aside from a few cheesy Empire lines, which what do you expect from those Empire folks, I thought it was a great story with an outstanding cast and put together wonderfully. One aspect that really made it great to watch was a lot of the make-up and effects felt more practical and less cheap cgi, which is why out of the newer Star Wars movies I love Rogue One and Solo. A really fun and great movie I definitely suggest seeing.

With another 4th of July in the books, I can't help but think about people in today's world still having to fight for different freedoms and rights. One fight, or charette rather, to end school segregation took place in North Carolina in 1971 that brought together the best of enemies and the unlikeliest of friends, a black activist Ann Atwater and a KKK leader C.P. Ellis. Best of Enemies is a really good movie with a wonderful cast that tells this particular story beautifully. Here's to love always triumphing over ignorant hate.

Gripping and dry

What I love about Jane Harper's books is the biggest character is always the landscape the story takes place in. Force of nature is set in one of Australia's cold and dark national parks, rugged and unforgiving and so the atmosphere is set. Take office politics up a notch to a brutal level and add intriguing and constant suspense and you will find it difficult to not read just another chapter. If you like crime novels Harper's and human and most importantly believable. Won't get a better thriller/crime novel this year

When Rick Moranis was a force

My daughter asked to watch this as we watched it together when she was younger. A simple and enjoyable tale of sibling rivalry and the classic underdog story. The misfits and their tomboy leader take on the slick and polished team. Some classic stereotypes and geek tropes make for some fun viewing. The films climax shows the unlikely victory for the underdogs and a lesson learned by everyone.

Kids will love it and grown up can also find some entertaining parts. A good rainy day film from the 1990s

I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, I love horrors and most of the time their cliche but this was epic, the music creating a dramatic atmosphere. The story of loss and life, the risks they took every day to survive.

The way to defeat the creatures was realised by the daughter and it was a truly mesmerising moment between mother and daughter.

I bet the second one they become one hell of a team to remove the rest of the alien creatures from earth.
