Mothergamer (1568 KP) rated Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds in Video Games
Dec 5, 2017
A fantastic DLC added to an already great game. New machines and a new area to explore add some fantastic depth to the story. There's new armor and weapons also. The story itself is good and you get 15 hours of amazing game play. The main character Aloy is as endearing as ever as well as smart. The new characters that are introduced are interesting as well. I enjoyed it a lot.

Amazing Story and Gameplay
Combines amazing storytelling with amazing gameplay. I loved everything about this game because they got it right. They created a great world with fantastic characters. Just running around doing side quests showed how beautiful the various areas in the game are. It is so much fun to play and I love that there was so much diversity in the game and that it showed strong, smart women in leading roles.

Alison Pink (7 KP) rated Son of a Witch in Books
Jan 15, 2018
The second installment of the Wicked series focuses on Elphaba's supposed son, Liir. Liir is never quite sure whether or not he really is the son of the Wicked Witch of the West. This book follows Liir on his journeys through Oz. I didnt find it quite as interesting as Wicked perhaps because I have a difficult time picturing the Wicked Witch as a mother, even if she is depicted as a bad one. Liir is interesting enough but I had a tough time connecting with him as the main character.

Fabulous acting (2 more)
Wonderful cinematography
Complexity of human relations
Another beautiful film from the master Almodovar
Pedro Almodovar has such a wonderful eye for understanding the human condition. Unlike his more outlandish colourful films, this is about the tragic relationships of estranged families and the breakdown in communications. Written in the perspective of a mother whose daughter left or went missing 12 years previously, the film shows her writing a letter to her daughter about all the mistakes she made in that relationship including erasing her from her life. Really very moving and poignant.

I read books 1 and 2 with an air of "hmmm, it's okay, but not really doing much for me.." I read it because Daemon amused me. Then I got to book 3.
At first, I felt pretty much the same.. it's an okay read, but nothing major.
Then I hit the final chapter
What the ever-loving fuck just happened?
For a heart-sinking moment I thought it was the last book of a trilogy... then I realised book 4 was waiting in the wings... holy mother of god... this series just got good.

Feb 9, 2018
This quickly became my favorite book before I ever finished it. I read more of the dark and twisted genres, but this was a beautiful story with just enough edge to keep me absorbed. It unfolds a relationship between a mother and daughter who can see into the future causing her to be an outcast when all she is trying to do is save the lives of the people she holds close to her heart.

MEH
The story of Emily Middleton who has just lost her boyfriend who she happens to have a vacation to south america with planned convinces her mother to go with her of the vacation cause it is non refundable. Of course these two get taken and escape only to be found but escape again. There only hope a mama's boy of a son at home who tries to convince the US state department even blackmailing them. All in all its a bad movie into really worth my time
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2357 KP) rated Mistletoe Murder (A Lucy Stone Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Lucy Stone is working nights at a mail order company. When the owner is killed in the parking lot, she begins to piece together gossip to find the killer. I like the characters, but the plot was slowed down so much in the first half by every day life (Lucy is a married mother of two), that I was bored. Things did pick up in the second half.
