The Valkyries Calling (Half-blood Rising 2)
By Lucy Roy
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The conquest of Lindoroth seems all-but settled. The monarchs have fled the capital, the usurpers have taken over the thrones, and two foreign armies have descended on the five realms. Lindoroth's fate has fallen at the feet of a king and queen in exile and a spy for the Lindorothian crown.
While Freya and Aerelius hunt for allies in places they least expect to find them, Lea Calliwell takes matters into her own hands by infiltrating the lives of the people who murdered her family and stole her kingdom. Thrust into peril at opposite ends of the world, Freya and Lea must do whatever it takes to save their people, even if it means making the greatest sacrifice of all.
This world and its story are so intense. The characters are all worth investing in. This is part 2 and after escaping with their lives just about the new King and Queen have to find a way to win the war. It’s really really good!

Absolutely stunning
This book gave me a whole new appreciation for not only Alice in Wonderland but for the character of the Queen of Hearts. Follow Cath as she journeys through all the twists and turns of a young woman in a seemingly impossible situation. The ending absolutely blew me away, it was completely unexpected and it made me want to immediately turn back to page one and start reading Heartless all over again.

Codus (2 KP) rated Thank U, Next by Ariana Grande in Music
Mar 6, 2019
Obvious bangers like "thank u, next" and "7 Rings." (2 more)
There are plenty of remixes, and Mixes.
Very telling of style, while experimenting with new styles
A Fairly Balanced, but Far-reaching album
Being the proclaimed "Grounded-Pop-Queen", Ari brings a lot to the table for 2019; with the obvious bangers "thank u, next" and "7 Rings."There are plenty of remixes, and Mixes of several songs that will stimulate the club scenes for years to come, celebrating the young artist as the new Mariah Carey.

So, for the last few months, I haven't even been calling this film by it's proper title, I've just been calling it Rami's movie (he went to my Alma Mater).
I thought Rami did an amazing job. The music of Queen is, of course, great, so no complaints there. The recreation of Live Aid was really amazing. I did enjoy Mike Meyer's having a role, where he made a comment that no one would ever head bang to Bohemian Rhapsody. I thought it was well-paced and I was never bored during it.

"Mirror, mirror, on the wall … "
A reworking of the Snow White fairytale, with Kristen Stewart taking the lead role and Chris Hemsworth taking time out from his Thor duties to portray the part of the Huntsman ordered to capture her and bring her back to the evil Queen (here portrayed by Charlize Theron) before instead becoming her protector.
And, yes, there are seven dwarves in this, although Snow White does not live with them at any stage nor are they given names such as Sneezy, Dopey, Grumpy, etc ...

I mean... It's QUEEN! and they made an amazing job of the Film ... thumbs up from me
And....Rami Malek stepped into the role of Freddie AMAZINGLY! It would've taken one hell of an actor to fill such a personality and he did it FLAWLESSLY and i have always said doing a biopic would be difficult, as you have to get it right..... and BOY DID THEY!
I aim to remind everyone that these are MY opinions, which i am entitled to, you do no have to agree...
