Merissa (14013 KP) rated Aeromancist: The Beginning (7 Forbidden Arts #2) in Books
May 20, 2023
The Beginning tells us the start (obviously) of Lann and Katherine's relationship - oops, sorry, I mean a 30-day contract. I'm not sure who Lann is trying to convince when he says it will only be for this amount of time, but I didn't believe him!
The relationship between Kat and Lann was instantly hot, but I loved that Kat was a strong female from the start, and wasn't just going to give in without at least a token resistance! There is plenty of steam within these pages, so be prepared for some heat.
This is only a novella, that just details the 30 days, however, it was absolutely brilliant and I loved every word. It gives a detailed account of the attraction between these two, how they are with each other, pushing boundaries whilst respecting the same.
Can't wait to read the continuation of their story. Highly recommended.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Marvel's Daredevil - Season 2 in TV

For me the first series of Daredevil dipped somewhat in the middle from an awesome beginning and an exciting climax. That is not the case in the second series. The appearance, and numerous reappearances of is-he-a-goody-or-a-baddy Frank Castle (the Punisher) keeps the episodes fresh, despite the somewhat tedious will they/won't they relationship between Matt and Foggy.
The development of Frank Castle's back story and the reason behind his crusade is a rich vein running through the whole series, coming to a satisfying conclusion.

I expected a story from the immigrant’s side of immigration but got so much more. Sure, you get that side of the story (although it feels somewhat sugar coated at times), but this is also a BEAUTIFUL portrayal of a couple in a relationship going through a hard time. For that aspect alone, I would recommend the book to everyone I know!! The book is written in third person, which usually takes the emotional aspect out of the game for me, but the author did an amazing job switching between each perspective, which definitely helped.

Storyline
Visuals
I gamed away whole afternoons playing this game. The immersion is wonderful, as well as the storyline. I really enjoyed sending out separate parties to do quests from the war table and then seeing their process/changes in the world as I was questing. There's quite a bit of re-play value, as you can choose what class your character can play as well as who you form a romantic relationship with and what classes your team members will be.

Wonderful cinematography
Complexity of human relations
Another beautiful film from the master Almodovar
Pedro Almodovar has such a wonderful eye for understanding the human condition. Unlike his more outlandish colourful films, this is about the tragic relationships of estranged families and the breakdown in communications. Written in the perspective of a mother whose daughter left or went missing 12 years previously, the film shows her writing a letter to her daughter about all the mistakes she made in that relationship including erasing her from her life. Really very moving and poignant.

I learned a lot about the Obama's from this book. I think the book is an inspiration to anyone who has big dreams...if you set your mind to it, you can do it. The author could have left out some things to focus more on the relationship. The story of their wedding was a page...I would have liked to know more about those days and the birth not their children as opposed to so much involving just the political aspect. Overall I enjoyed the book...although more informative than enjoyable.

Wow! I just finished this and don't really know what to say. The relationship between Julian and Grace was perfectly done and I loved every second of this book! The only reason I'm not giving it a ten is that there were some things I thought could have been written better or elongated. Other than that, I absolutely loved reading this and can't wait to get to the others! Maybe when it's not so fresh I'll be able to think of some other things to write, but not right now. :P

Goes Well With The Book
I would highly suggest seeing this movie if you enjoyed the book. It was a good adaptation, and even if you haven't read the book the movie is great. Stella and Will's relationship is a doomed romance, but you can't help cheering for them.
I see a lot of people comparing this to The Fault in Our Stars, but this is a very different story. It will probably appel to a similar audience, but you won't leave feeling as if you have seen this movie before.

fantastic read
This is the first book in this series by this author. Another amazing read by this author. This is a princess and the pauper mixed with forbidden love romance read. The characters were really well written and there relationship was beautifully written. The chemistry between the characters is so intense. This story is full of angst, romance, steam, suspense and loads of drama. I can't wait to continue this story in the next book "Harbor".
Highly recommended start to this series

Feb 9, 2018
This quickly became my favorite book before I ever finished it. I read more of the dark and twisted genres, but this was a beautiful story with just enough edge to keep me absorbed. It unfolds a relationship between a mother and daughter who can see into the future causing her to be an outcast when all she is trying to do is save the lives of the people she holds close to her heart.
