Mel (490 KP) rated Snow, Glass, Apples in Books
Oct 9, 2019
I'm a huge Neil Gaiman fan so I'd read the short story 'Snow Glass Apples' previously and enjoyed it. Although I've read most of his graphic novels with some of the recent adaptations of short stories I've not been sure if having a graphic novel version was really adding value. So when I saw there was a new adaptation of this one I had a look through before deciding to buy. All I can say is that the artwork is beautiful, Colleen Doran has done an excellent job bringing this to life, with sensitive handling of the more graphic details. I'd definitely recommend this, it's a lovely addition to any collection.

Bob Mann (459 KP) rated The Story of 90 Coins (2015) in Movies
Sep 28, 2021
It’s a lovely little short film, that’s very sweet and beautifully filmed. One for hopeless romantics everywhere.
Positives:
For a short film, this has impressive production values. The cinematography and, lighting is all beautifully done, giving the production a glossy and professional feel.
Who doesn’t love a sloppy love story once in a while? Yes, the leads perhaps have a few rough edges, but they give it lots of heart.
Negatives:
As a film that’s less than 10 minutes long, it doesn’t give much of a chance to develop a great story arc. The end of the piece in particular feels rather rushed. It could almost be a template for a longer 90 minute feature.

Merissa (12330 KP) rated Hunter Sacrificed (Wild Hunt, #0.5) in Books
Jun 2, 2023
If you know anything about Gods and Goddesses of any pantheon, then you will know that things are never smooth and simple. Instead, confusion abounds until such time as it makes sense. This is how I would describe Hunter Sacrificed. It is a short prequel that nevertheless manages to impart a huge amount of information. You learn about Minerva and Arawn, the Triad, and how the Wild Hunt comes to be.
Although this was short, it was very well written, with no editing or grammatical errors that I found. This is enough to whet your appetite and definitely leave you wanting more. Definitely recommended.
