Cori June (3033 KP) rated Searching for Dragons (Enchanted Forest Chronicles, #2) in Books
Dec 3, 2018
In the sequel, you get Mendanbar's pov. Again there is no dumbing down characters and common sense that most fairy tales lack. There is more magic in this book and is a little different paced. I think the plural of dragons is a slight misnomer and one of the characters can get a little too technical with his 50 cent words. & I don't mean the rapper. Although, it does get translated. This is a story that doesn't take itself to seriously and because of that it is enjoyable.

X-Men 2- Wolverines Revenge (available on ps2 & GC since 2003)
In this hit sequel, wolverine and the X-Men (pun intended) are being hunted following an assault on X mansion/school for gifted youngsters. During this, Logan/wolverine comes into contact with the leader of the assault, an unknown figure from his past, the past he doesn't remember.
Featuring some of the best Graphics and stunt work, gritty story telling & a returning cast, X-Men2 is one of the best action/sci-fi/fantasy movies of the early 2000's.

Surprising
Amazing! Good to see M Night back on track.
It's good to see M Night (not butchering his last name here!) back on track with the dark and suspense filled Split. I couldn't keep my eyes off of it and I'm usually the sort of person doing 40 things at once while "watching" a movie or tv series.
It lacked the massive twist expected from M Night but it was better this way and I was pleased to discover the sequel coming out this year.

Nice!
This one is a couple years old, but turned out to be more entertaining than most "horror" movies of today. The acting wasn't the greatest, but it was good. The cinematography was done well and the story played out interestingly. Not what I expected from the description. This film has plenty of creep factor and intensity. Not big budget, but definitely done right. Only thing I didn't like was the typical Hollywood "leave-it-open-for-a-sequel" ending. However, that doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the film overall. Worth a watch!

Direct sequel to [b:Post-Human|7105194|Post-Human (Post-Human, #2)|David Simpson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1400409353s/7105194.jpg|7363719], picking up roughly a year and a half after the events of that previous novel.
The entire Human Race has been returned to life (don't ask - read the previous novel), but they are about to come under threat again, this time from extra-terrestrial rather than terrestrial enemies.
As before, however, things are not always what they seem ...
Once again, this was an OK read, but nothing spectacular.

Jan 30, 2019
Direct sequel to "Raven: Blood Eye", "Raven: Sons of Thunder" picks up directly where that previous novel left off.
As appears to be becoming more common, the novel is 'bookended' by the protaganist remembering the events of his youth: in this case, the old Raven retelling the story of what happened after they were betrayed by the Saxon lord Ealdred (at the end of Blood Eye). These events will lead to the Viking fellowship travelling to the centre of Charlemagne's Frankish empire, where their cheiftan Sigurd 'the Lucky' luck may have run out ...

David McK (3540 KP) rated The Crow Goddess (Lugh Mac Romain, #2) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
The sequel to "A Shadow of Gulls", the Crow Goddess continues the story of Lugh the Harper and Cuchullain, although reading the former is not a pre-requisite to reading this.
Whereas the previous novel revolved mainly around the Ulster series of Legends (most particularly the Cattle Raid of Cooley), this novel takes place in both Roman Britain (the first half, and prior to the building of Hadrians Wall) and Ireland. The second part of the novel - the part in Ireland itself - concerns Cuchullains legendary death more than his legendary life.
Well worth a read!

Game is fun

Casual
Simple. Great for kids & casual gamers
Build your kingdom using tiles in a domino-style game. Score by matching zone types with crowns on your tiles. This game is a lot of fun & great for casual players. Heavy-duty players may find it too simplistic. The "sequel" Queendomino kicks it up a notch. But if you're gonna play with your kids or your wife, who may not be the biggest board game geek, this one is okay.

Well done
Im not a big Vin Diesel fan(you won't catch me watching any sequels to Fast and Furious) but I enjoyed his performance in this movie. This movie was very well done. Great cinematography, good acting and a cool, dark, fantastical story. Very entertaining with good characters, cool magic and a few interesting twists. I'm not sure how, but I think I'd enjoy a good sequel to this one. Fun and entertaining this one fits the criteria for a good movie. Watch it with thre family! Really worth a watch!
