Ross (3284 KP) rated Dragonfly Falling in Books
Sep 13, 2017
The action continues from the first book, and the Wasp Empire is on the march, first to the Ant city of Tark and then to Collegium itself.
With his warnings still not being heeded, Stenwold Maker takes matters into his own hands.
My favourite character here is Felise Mienn, the eponymous dragnonfly. She is hunting down Wasp Thalric whom she believes killed her children. The conflict between them, and how the other characters become embroiled becomes one of the best themes of the series, especially with its conclusion and what that means for the series as a whole.

To really appreciate I believe this must be read or reread, as an adult. Not to or for a child, but to yourself. The descriptions of the garden are beautiful, the change in the children can be felt as well as seen. It really is quite remarkable and I'm sad I never knew how good it really was until now.
If I had a criticism it would be that I would have preferred a fraction longer at the end to really complete the story, even if just a page or two more.
A classic to be owned.

An imaginative story of dragons and a poor, plain girl named Creel. This is an excellent read for not only school age children but also adults. I loved the new take on dragons and what they all hoard instead of gold and jewels. The descriptions of dragons as well as Creel's dress work was vivid and believable. I could really place myself there with Creel and go through what she was going through, even down to her itchy feet while wearing her blue dragon slippers. Recommended! I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series.
A great first volume! Saga is definitely NOT for children. The story hooked me from the first pages. The characters are interesting and different. Adding the innocence of a baby into the story pushes the story in a direction that demands strength, courage, and emotion right next to the vulgarity of war. I look forward to reading about what happens next. There is a lot going on in the story with different characters' places in the war, but it's still easy to follow. If you're on the fence about giving this story a try, read it!!
Cori June (3033 KP) rated Raven's Shadow (Raven, #1) in Books

Tier and Seraph are older and have grown/growing children. When Tier disappears and the worst is assumed it is up to her and her sons to hold the family together and discover the truth behind Tier's disappearance. And in the process finding a much greater danger.
An amazing book, I love the relationship between Tier and Seraph. I enjoyed that it was a group effort to deal with the threats that not only effect their family but maybe even the rest of the empire.
Once you finish you'll be reaching for the next book.

Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated The Boss Baby (2017) in Movies
Sep 25, 2019
I decided that after seeing Table 19 I'd go home and watch Rogue One as I'd picked up the DVD as they were putting them out on the shelved this morning... but then I noticed that Boss Baby had a showing in a few minutes, and it would have been rude not to see that too. There were some funny bits, and I quite enjoyed it, although I thought the "demon" children through Tim's glasses were a bit scary for a kids film. Probably that's just me associating it with horror films I've seen though. Where do I get a forever puppy?

Serviceable action flick with an all star cast before they each BLEW up and came into their own as lead actors and actresses.
Decent, if not completely predictable, story that follows an elite military unit that is essentially blackballed (and noted as deceased) by the unit for defying direct orders in an effort to protect a group of innocent children being used as pawns.
As you can imagine, they're pretty upset about that. The movie follows their pursuit of revenge on those who've wronged them and clearing their names. A few twists later, we arrive at the assumed foregone conclusion.
