Steph (468 KP) rated The Flight of the Silvers (Silvers, #1) in Books

Jul 9, 2018

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. The beginning starts with a mystery that leaves you excited to discover what it means. I was worried that I wouldn't be satisfied with the solution or that the ending would disappoint me enough that the book wouldn't be enjoyable. I was wrong on all counts. The book delightfully sets up an alternate universe with interesting parallels to our own. The magic system is creative, novel, and well-explained. Finally, the characters are well-rounded, three-dimensional, and fun. I enjoyed every minute of it- couldn't put it down!

The doctor getting shot and killed immediately after walking out the TARDIS into gang territory in America is just priceless (1 more)

All the ridiculous extra rooms in the TARDIS like why does the Tardis have a giant ancient dungeon in there

The cringy leftover Terminator 2 special effects (0 more)

It's a hell of a lot bigger on the inside

Overall the movie is very weak and does a poor job of capturing the magic of Doctor Who and why British audiences love it

But it has enough weirdness and ridiculousness that any Doctor Who fan should watch it

Charley (64 KP) rated Wyrd Sisters (Discworld, #6; Witches #2) in Books

Jan 27, 2019

Well I have always had a soft spot for Terry Pratchett book and his stories about the discworld transport you to this amazing place.
He has a dark sense of humour that you can see throughout his books.
Wyrd sisters is one of my favourites of his Books. This is the first in a series of his books about three witches. It's funny right from the start and the complexity of his characters always amaze me.
If you like a book with good characters, funny jokes and a touch of magic then this is the books for you.

Movie Rating Watch

In terms of the Disney live-action remakes, Aladdin falls somewhere in the middle. Not nearly as good as The Jungle Book or Christopher Robin, but not nearly as bad as an Alice In Wonderland. An updated story is just enough to not make it a carbon copy, but they did eliminate a lot of the magic from the original in the places that counted most, the music. Its saving grace is Naomi Scott and Will Smith, who jointly bring superb charisma and carry the film to the very last scene.

Superb animation

Great music

Amazing amazing film!!!! Not enough people have seen it. I watched it first as a kid and Alan Rickman's antagonist fish scared the life out of me. It wasn't until I was that bit older that I was able to watch the film all the way through. The music is very catchy and as the film progresses it's very easy to become invested in the characters. Love, family, loyalty, bravery, friendship and a touch of magic. 10/10 would recommend for everyone who likes films that are a bit different.

EmersonRose (320 KP) rated Briar's Book (Circle of Magic, #4) in Books

Nov 20, 2019

This is the final book in the Circle of Magic series and was a wonderful end. This was certainly the most emotional of the books in the series and continued the strength this series has in creating strong friendships. I am not going to lie, this book made me cry a little, but I enjoyed the emotional rollercoaster. I am so glad I picked up this series, even though it took me so long after starting the Tortall books eight years ago, but I loved these books and characters. I am definitely going to keep exploring this world.
