Rebecca Billcliff (2409 KP) rated The Dragon Prince - Season 1 in TV
Nov 24, 2019
Amazing Series
Humans have killed the Lord of Dragons with their Dark Magic, and a war between them and the Elves has resulted in fear, bitterness, and prejudice on both sides.
The young princes of the human kingdom discover that the only egg of the Lord of Dragons was not destroyed, but kept hidden, now embark on a quest, together with an elf, to return the egg to its mother, and hopefully, put an end to the fighting that has claimed so many lives.
Cute, witty and heartfelt, the creators of Avatar, the Last Airbender, have made another absolute gem! This one is suitable for kids, as well as animation loving adults. It explores themes of ignorance, loyalty, open mindedness and loss, in a deep and also funny way.
The third series has just come onto Netflix, and I can not wait to het started!!!!

No Sins Deadlier - 8/10
The Seven Deadly Sins anime was created by A-1 Pictures and directed by Tensai Okamura. It was written by Shotaro Suga with Keigo Sasaki providing character designs and music by Hiroyuki Sawano. (Season1) The second season which is actually 4 television specials or episodes featured a story by Nakaba Suzuki. It was produced by A-1 Pictures and directed by Tomokazu Tokoro, Season 2 was also written by Yuniko Ayana and Yuichiro Kido, with character designs by Keigo Sasaki and music by Hiroyuki Sawano and Takafumi Wada. (Season2) Season 3 was an actual 24 episode season again with some changes to the creative team as well. Takeshi Furuta and Takao Yoshioka replaced Tensai Okamura and Shotaro Suga as director and series composer while most first season staff members to reprise their roles.
Once an active group of knights in the region of Britannia, "The Seven Deadly Sins" disbanded after supposedly plotting to overthrow the Liones Kingdom. Their defeat was believed to have been at the hands of the Holy Knights of Liones however persistent rumors continued that they were alive. Ten years later, the third princess, Elizabeth, begins her journey to find the "Seven Deadly Sins". She must get their help to save the Kingdom of Liones from the corrupt Holy Knights and those who plan to take over the kingdom.
This is a really great anime series. I can't believe it took me so long to get around to finishing it. They really left us hanging, waiting for season 2, and when Netflix released those 4 episodes as a whole season I was really confused. I was told by other fans of the series not to even watch them but to also not worry. A real season 2, or in this case season 3 was in the works and on the way. And not only were they right but a full length anime film released not long after. Anyways, sorry for getting off topic. The first thing I have to say when talking about this series is that there is a lot of "fan service". If you are not familiar with the term, in general fan service refers to scenes designed to excite or entice the viewer, usually of a racy or sexual nature. If that bothers you, this series is not for you. But if you can get past that there is a fantastical land of magic and knights with an epic tale of adventure waiting. At first I didn't like the character designs because to me the faces were very different from what I was use to at the time but then they grew on me and didn't seem to bother me as much. There are a lot of different looking characters, which I really enjoy seeing in anime, which was a plus to me. They also had a very interesting group dynamic since they were all based off of the seven deadly sins. There was good chemistry between the characters and a lot of camaraderie. I really enjoyed the enemies that they encountered in antagonist as well. Overall I give this series a 8/10.
If you liked this anime, after watching the entire series then watch the movie The Seven Deadly Sins Movie: Prisoners of the Sky.

H20 All over again (1 more)
Awakened.
A Decent season but not one of the best
I liked this season of charmed but in comparison to season one and three its my least favorite of the original trio of sisters I did however really enjoy H20 all over again this is a great episode on many levels it tackles the girls losing there mom and also introduces Sam the fallen white lighter who is a great character throughout the series. It also made it possible for us to know whitelighter's can break the rules which happens a couple of episodes later in Awakened when Leo breaks them for Piper which is another great episode of this season
Leah (: (569 KP) rated Queen of Tomorrow (Stolen Empire, #2) in Books
Feb 4, 2019
This is the second book in the series and picks up just after the last one finished.
By now Sophie has grown up and is becoming Catherine, you start to see more of the leader she could be as she goes about establishing herself within the court.
Sophie has a more clear idea of who she can trust, pretty much no one, and that she must go to extreme lengths if she is going succeed and one day be queen.
Unfortunately this book did not have the bonus content videos like the last one did. I found this a real shame as I really enjoyed the extra insight in he previous book. I did still enjoy the story though.

David McK (3921 KP) rated Making Money (Discworld #36; Moist Von Lipwig #2) in Books
May 26, 2019 (Updated Oct 4, 2020)
The second - and, following his untimely death in 2015, last - of the late, great Sir Terry Pratchett's Moist von Lipwig sub-series of Discworld novels (after 'Going Postal'), that see's Moist himself put in charge of the ailing Ankh-Morpork central bank, and introducing - shock! gasp! - a new form of paper currency.
To my recollection, this also is one of the few Discworld novels (41 in total, of which this was number 36) in which the Patrician plays a central role - he's in more than a few, yes, but not always to this extent - and in which he is fleshed out as a character. I would loved to have seen where his plans for Moist would have taken him ...

Fright Train by Majanka Verstraete
Reviewed by Kaila for CBR
I read this to my 8 and 7 yr old girls and they loved it. We didnt have to read the first two to understand this one. They loved how scary and yet not scary it was. They are asking me to read the rest of the series with them. The characters didn't scare them enough to cause issues with them but scared them enough to talk about how books aren't real. lol They also loved the adventure in the story and the characters were very fun. We will recommend this author to our friends with kids. So glad the author allowed us to read it for review.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Shadow Game (GhostWalkers, #1) in Books

It's taken me forever to read this. I struggled with it from the start. I've drifted from my love of Paranormal Romances into Contemporary Romance and Urban Fantasy Romances so this just seemed too focused on the romance side of things. Sounds strange, I know, considering that's all I read but...I just couldn't get into it.
The writing seemed so old fashioned in the chemistry/romance parts. It was written back in 2003, when I was 12 and I would probably have loved it back then, but I'm now 28 and I prefer a more modern wording to my romances.
I have a few more paperbacks from this series but I'm not in any hurry to read them.
