Georgina DeBurca (2 KP) rated Hers to Choose (Verdantia, #2) in Books
Jan 29, 2018
This story was fantastic. While some parts of the story such as the clan names and locations took a while for me to get my head around due to the complexity of how they are spelt, therefore leading my mind to consider how they are pronounced. The plot was excellent. The characters were a wonder to get to know. I struggled putting the book down from the start. Very addictive. The hero and heroine were easy to relate to.
Only thing I marked down on its slight inconsistency on the name of the heroine Sophi. Sometimes it's Sophi, sometimes it was Sophie.
Otherwise a well written piece that I will likely read again.
Would definitely suggest to friends.

When Sophie discovers an alicorn - an extremely rare and valuable animal - she winds up with the job of training it. That would be hard enough, but she still hasn't recovered physically from being kidnapped, and more danger is coming to her new home.
It took a little bit to get back into this complex world, but once I did, I was once again immersed completely. The characters are great and the story is a page turner. Read the first one first, but definitely read these books. They are great for all ages.

Probably my favourite 7th doctor story it's got everything drama suspence good monsters and the makeup on the ancient one superb. Plus the doctor at his most darkest manipulative using people like a game of chess including ace who has to face her future in the baby girl Audrey who might be her mother. and special mention goes to Nicholas parsons whose not normally known for his acting but here pulls it off as the rev Wainwright overall good story one of the best I've seen as fan. As I reviewed the VHS version on blu ray it looks just as good as it 30 years ago

This pseudo-documentary is really hard to define. It utilizes science, and science-fiction to great these different worlds with their our different flora, fauna, animals and landscape. Each episode is a new planet. It was definitely thought provoking.
I'm torn on the VFXs, I felt like they helped, but in some ways, hurt the program. At some points, it was a little shoddy, but at other times, it was great and visually appealing. It was definitely worth watching, and I would be willing to watch another season.
Forgot to mention, I loved Sophie Okonedo as the narrator. I've been a fan of hers since Aeon Flux, and her voice was amazing for this program.
