Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Broken Blade (Colbana Files #3) in Books
Jan 7, 2021
I was glad to see Kit getting back to normal in this one, or as normal as she could be after the horror of what happened to her in the last book.
I like a lot of things about this series but there's still something that's not quite there, and I'm hoping it makes an appearance in the next couple of books.
Off to start book 4!

Dean (6927 KP) rated Vacation (2015) in Movies

Better than expected
Carrying on from the old National Lampoon's Vacation series of films. I didn't expect much from this to be honest but found it a lot funnier than I expected. Some good cameos as well. Although it's not as funny as the original, which is hilarious, this does a good enough job of re-creating the fun of the Vacation films.

I'd been interested in this for a while but steampunk isn't really one of my favourite genre's--unless it's by Lindsay Buroker and they have romance in them.
I liked this but it's not my usual read. I guess I could be tempted to read more of the series at some point but I think I'd have to be in the right mood/head space for it.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Killing Eve - Season 2 in TV
Jun 15, 2019 (Updated Jun 7, 2020)
Good quirky drama
The first series was a bit of a surprise hit. A quirky English drama about a MI6 agent tracking a flamboyant female assassin across Europe. It is very funny at times, in a typical English kinda way. Whilst also being quite violent as well.
The 2nd series picks up 30 seconds after the end of the first series. It's very similar to the first in terms of style, humor. This time a second assassin seems to be in play and Eve makes connections to a bigger plot. It's still just as fun as the first series. It's quite short with 8 episodes around 40 minutes each. I just preferred the cat and mouse storyline of the first series. Fans will love it just as much.

RavenclawPrincess913 (253 KP) rated Finale (Hush, Hush, #4) in Books

Hush Hush Series by Becca Fitzpatrick
Finished: April 24th, 2019
This series was amazing and has a very emotional ending. I chose to read this series because it's about Fallen Angels. I love Patch's and Nora's relationship and all they went through I'm happy they got the happy ending they deserved. I cried when Patch was able to feel in the end but wish Scott's ending was better though and wished he had survived the war. I was not expecting Vee to be Nephil as well. Marcie's end was sad as well but I'm really glad it worked out for Patch, Nora and her mom in the end.
Do I recommend? Yes

Michelle (114 KP) rated A Court of Wings and Ruin in Books

This is the third book in the series about Freya and her sisters who have been turned into Frae by the cauldron as Freya and her mate and some friends continue their battle against the courts Lords to stop them destroying the human lands and being humans and Fae together. Freya discovers that destroying the cauldron doesn't stop the deaths and destruction happening and ends up forging the pieces back together. They lose their father in this part of the series though they find out that their father loves them even though they are now Fae. Not sure if there is going to be any more in the series. Very enjoyable YA book.

Carries on from the Mandalorian series 2
Only 7 episodes (1 more)
First half is pretty slow
Return of the Fett
Well this continues on from the Mandalorian series 2, there is a teaser at the end of the last episode of that. So make sure you watch the 2 series of that or a lot won't make much sense.
Good to see a back story of how he escaped the Sarlacc pit in Return of the Jedi and up to appearing in The Mandalorian. It does continue the story of The Mandalorian quite a bit rather than being totally separate.
So if you liked that then this is pretty similar of not the best plot story.

The lyrical writing style: an occasional overblown misstep but overall very good (1 more)
The obvious research and detail
The intertwined story device: not my favorite (1 more)
Some weak story devices and characterization
This book draws obvious parallels with Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series, so I was initially skeptical and expected to put it down almost immediately. But beyond the basic framework of the story, everything else about The Winter Sea stands very well on its own. It's not without its weak points, but overall this was a very enjoyable read.

I finally got around to jumping on this bandwagon, and I can say I am very glad I did. The writing may not be as pretty or elaborate as some authors have been tending towards lately, but that doesn't in any way detract from this epic tale. The characters are all engaging (if not always particularly likable), the settings always imaginative, the histories well thought out, and the plotting twisty and exciting. An excellent book that has definitely got me hooked on the series.

This didn't end, the story didn't conclude, which makes me think it's some sort of serial...which has annoyed me a little.
Not enough really happened in this for me to really like it, though i wish Ayden had just gone for it with Lyric a lot sooner than the last 50 pages or so. I'm not sure if I'm interested enough in the characters and the storyline to continue the series but it was nice to see Ethan, Lila, Ella and Micha again.
