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!!

Bostonian916 (449 KP) rated Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019) in Movies

I feel like this movie was unapologetically thrashed by critics for things that it wasn't responsible for. That's not to say that the movie didn't have it's own issues, as all films do. But the vile hatred that it received for stories told decades ago was unwarranted and frankly disappointing.

Truthfully, there is enough going on in this movie that can be faulted that it didn't need to have old news rehashed (I'm talking to you weird Palpatine). But again, as a stand alone film it was quite good. And as the finale to the Skywalker saga, it did it's job.

Tom Turner (388 KP) rated Holy Sister (Book of the Ancestor, #3) in Books

Well, that's definitely going to stay with me for quite some time. There are definer some aspects of the ending of the Book of the Ancestors trilogy that my brain is still trying to compute, but the weird thing is, I don't see that as a negative as I might have done with another book or series. I think this is because everything in this series was so character driven I can't imagine it happening any other way. Mark Lawrence deftly skims not falling into clichés, which is so easy when it comes to ending a Saga. Absolutely brilliant! Bravo!
