Insanely good!

Words cannot describe how much I love this fantasy series by Anne Bishop, but I'm gonna try anyway. First, the characters are fully formed. From the cover one would think that Jaenelle is the main character, and in a way that is true, but in reality each of the players are equally important with rich backstories and thus become real people to the reader.
The world Bishop created in this series is intricate, deadly, wonderful, and beautiful. The books handle some pretty intense subjects, like child abuse, rape, and prostitution, which sounds bad as I write this, but Bishop handles it beautifully. They aren't extra things thrown into the story for attention--each horror is a catalyst for the characters to grow into their destinies. If you read these books, you will love them forever, I promise. These have a special place on the shelf.

Beautiful cinematography

I am a massive LOTR’s fan and I can honestly say that every time I watch this film and it’s sequels that I’m still in awe of its beauty. The time and skill that went into this film doesn’t have anything else on par (that’s just my opinion, don’t shoot me). I am yet to find a film that blows me away as much as this. The extended edition and theatrical cut are both as brilliant as each other, the extended provides more story but even without it, you don’t lose the heart and beauty of this film.
If you haven’t watched it, I highly recommend it to anyone who loves adventure, fantasy, twists and turns. You don’t have to have read the books to love them and you don’t need to watch the hobbit first to fall in love either.

Totally agree! I've watched all the movies first, now I'm listening to the free Audio book on YouTube. I actually think watching the movies first helped me picture things better. The books don't go into great detail about what Orcs and other creatures look like. I still suggest the audiobook, there is stuff in the book not in the movies.

Not Like The Book But Not Bad

Contains spoilers, click to show

First off I loved the actress and actor playing the roles both are incredibly and sexy to boot the sex scenes were better in my opinion the story line was a bit more on track with the book but so much was cut out I would love to see the movie made as in the book but take it a bit darker and more erotic only thing I had issue with was christian in the book based to the movie was a way darker person but it's a good movie I'd suggest it to all your friends it's a good date night movie to get you in the mood ?

If you are running out of zombie apocalyps options, watch this

I love an apocalyptic film or tv series, I love a good zombie one best. After the The Walking Dead, not much lives up to expectations, falling far short of what I now expect and want in a zombie apocalypse.
Z-nation doesn't fall short. It even adds a new take, humour. I like the way they have merged the zombie horror, end of the world scenario with humour. It's not a heavy sprikling of jokes either, it's interweaved into the whole story line. That way you can still have the drama of the apocalypse without the humour making it less real, less able for you to be drawn into.
This is for all The Walking Dead fans that are looking to fill the mid season gap and gaps between seasons. You won't be dissapointed.
