Gorgeous Storyline
Adorable Characters
A Different Kind of Love Story
Just like Pan's Labrynth this is a gorgeous fairytale with a whole new twist. I enjoyed the magical layers and depth that went into this film. Although I know many found it slow in comparison to Pan's Labrynth, however this film was not meant to be an extension of his previous masterpiece, rather it's meant to be a masterpiece all on its own. Personally, I believe it's accomplished just this.

Well written
Characters were well built
One of the best reads I've read this year
Caraval was one of my favorite reads so far this year. It was very different from what I usually read, and I'm glad I found it. I love reading about whole new places that aren't part of our world. Stephanie Garber is excellent at descriptive passages of scenery. Her characters help the reader to immerse themselves in her book. Truly magical to read and imagine.

Epic Saga
Find yourself immediately transported to days of old filled with Norsemen and royalty as this author casts her magical world building web and encases you until the last page. Filled with prophecy and delight to tantalize every one of your senses. From a madman to a beautiful princess this book will captivate readers of all ages. The only drawback is that we have to wait until November 2018 to continue this epic saga that will ooh and ahh you.

Mar 9, 2018
When Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy find a magic wardrobe leads them to a new land, they also learn they hold the key to a prophecy that will end the eternal winter brought on by an evil witch. I first read this book in 3rd grade. I loved it then. I love it now. A magical story that captures the imagination.

Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Putting on the Witch (Retired Witches Mystery #3) in Books
Feb 21, 2018
Putting on the Witch is a part urban fantasy, and part cozy mystery. Ive read (and enjoyed) other paranormal cozies, but Putting on the Witch is in a class of its own. The fantasy element and magical world building was wonderfully done. The mystery is well-written, the characters are likable (at least most of them are!), and I loved every word of it.

An intricate new magical world (2 more)
Realistic characters
Fantastic heroine
The start of an amazing series
In a world where magic and power go hand in hand, what happens when the balance is shifted? The detail of the world, it's magic and the rules that govern the citizens is fantastic and totally engrossing. So glad that there are now several series all tying in to this one so that you can keep on reading and losing yourself in an alternative world.
AT (1676 KP) rated God Country in Books
Dec 21, 2018 (Updated Dec 21, 2018)
An elderly man suffering from Alzheimer's comes into possession of a magical sword called Valofax. With Valofax, he regains his memory in the sword's presence, and defends his family and world against an alien being that wants Valofax. It is a story of magic, fantasy, war, family, and love.
The only reason I gave God Country only an 8 is because I thought it ended abruptly. I think it could have been much more, even with the same overall point of the story.
