It is well-written and fast-paced, typically what is expected of a short story or novella. Look at it as a chance to dip your toe into the Sweetblood world and take it from there. As for me, I really liked what I read so I will definitely be reading more.
Definitely recommended.

David McK (3673 KP) rated Star Wars, volume 3: War of the Bounty Hunters in Books
Feb 16, 2023
It also crosses-over with the 'War of the Bounty Hunters' collection of comics.
That much is obvious.
What was not so obvious, however - and I had no idea prior to reading this - is that it must cross over with some of the other Star Wars properties: I'm guessing Darth Vader for one. The reason I say that? I found it a bit jarring jumping from 'Vader's arrived!' in one issue to seeing rebels flee in the next, without any context of why or what had happened except for a few speech bubbles referencing events that I hadn't read!

Author: Jennifer Dugan, Kit Seaton
Read Dates: August 17th
Rating: 4/5
I chose to read Coven by Jennifer Dugan and Kit Seaton because it seemed interesting and was sent to me by Bookishfirst. I love the cover it's very pretty. The title and rest of the cover is what caught my attention. This Graphic Novel takes place in Upstate New York. One thing I loved was the illustrations in this Novel. Graphic Novels are something out of my comfort zone to their a little harder to get into because I prefer to leave it up to the imagination. But I really liked the story. It's sad what happened to Ben's parents and I understand Emsy's frustration with moving and being the new girl as that was me a lot. I loved the ending it was very unexpected.
David McK (3673 KP) rated The Secret of Secrets (Robert Langdon #6) in Books
Dec 21, 2025
By coincidence, that was also the prior book in his Robert Langdon series that consists of , in order: Angels & Demons, The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol, Inferno, Origin and now this, all following Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon who seems to have an amazing and uncanny knack for finding himself caught up in the throes of various mysteries!
This time, the main setting is Prague (been there), with the novel - in particular - focusing heavily on the legend of the Golem of said city, and with it positing the question "where does the conscious mind reside? In the body, or somewhere outside?"
If you've read any of the previous novels, you'll know what to expect of this!
Sarah (7800 KP) rated Sleeping Beauties in Books
Nov 7, 2017
The plot itself is an intriguing one, and very similar to stories Stephen has written in the past (The Stand, Under the Dome etc). I always love these stories and the fact that they're told from the perspective of multiple characters, and Sleeping Beauties really works like this. I could barely put the book and couldn't wait to get it finished. There are a lot of themes running through this that are very similar to King's other stories and as a King fan, I loved it.
The ending itself was maybe slightly disappointing, it seems to have been wrapped up very quickly despite having spent 600+ pages leading up to it. In short, it's a very enthralling read, even if it isn't quite up the standards of King's usual epic novels.
