Maggie Hoskie is a Native American in an apocalyptic world where monsters are real, and only magical strength can kill them. Most of the world is underwater, but one of the safe places is the Navajo Reservation, otherwise known as Dinétah. And magic has returned. Not just magic though, but also the gods and heroes.

It would seem that Maggie is something of a reluctant hero, and doesn’t take any nonsense form anyone. She likes to be alone, seeking out company when she wants it - not the other way round. I liked her, and I’ll be interested to see how her character develops further in subsequent books.

I liked the world-building, the peripheral characters, but to be honest, I would have loved a bit more background, both in how the world flooded and the gods. But then again, it was a good way of hooking me, because I WILL be reading the next in the series!

Bound ( Destine Academy book 6)
By Sara Snow
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As Caroline embarks on year eleven at magical Destine Academy, she’s more determined than ever to find out what has happened to her mother and brother

...even if it means taking down her aunt, headmistress for the academy, Marguerite Destine.

Her feelings towards Aldrick and Corbin are more complicated than ever, as both gentlemen keep their distance, leaving Caroline confused.

While the headmistress denies that Tempeste and The Entiere pose any imminent threat, Caroline is still haunted by her encounter and is determined to master the POWERS of the four factions; Magicks, Surnaturals, Metamorphes and Voyantes.

With the help of her friends, Caroline’s strength grows as she learns what it means to harness her destiny—but will it be too late?

I love this little series I look forward to each book. They are quick read that always packs a punch!

Three Thousand Years of Longing is a film that manages to be compelling, magical, and very human all at one. It's a film that deals with a mystical concept but at its core, is about the basic need to feel loved and wanted, and the sacrifices that come with it.
It's also a huge love letter to story telling. A big chunk of the narrative structure is made up of the two leads regailing tales to eachother, and it's relentlessly engaging and wholesome. Tilda Swinton is fantastic, as she tends to be. Idris Elba has always been a bit hit and miss for me, but he also excels here, and the chemistry between the two of them is strong and sweet.
Throw in a heart wrenching score from Junkie XL and the unique visionary work of George Miller, and you're left with a piece that is built to bury itself into your mind and stay there for a while. A truly wonderful experience.
