Changes ( Destine Academy book 5)
By Sara Snow
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
While Caroline comes to terms with the academy’s latest revelations, she’s quickly coming to realize the only people she can TRUST are her friends.
As they start to unravel the extent to which the headmistress—Caroline’s aunt—will go to cover up the truth, they band together to try and figure out why. With Caroline’s powers growing by the day, she struggles with her sense of self
...while also feeling torn between her complicated feelings for both Corbin and Aldrick.
As Caroline refuses to give up on the hope she will see her brother and mother again, she must listen to her friends if she’s to get to the bottom of what’s happened to them
I really like this little series it packs so much into a short space! Leaving you wanting a bit more every instalment.

The pacing is fast but the story is all there. We're also talking about a HUGE case of instalust, although Jake does do his best to fight it at the beginning. His sarcasm was spot on. And Zahn's reaction to it was brilliant.
I would have liked a little more to the story, but I'm always greedy with novellas and end up wanting more. And it was nice to see Jake's sister get her HEA too.
A great start to the series and I look forward to reading more.

My only frame of reference is the 2021 movie.
Oh, I knew the basics prior to that: Spice, the giant worms, space politics, but beyond that ... ?
Released in the wake of that movie, this is - apparently (or so the authors say) - a straight visual retelling (as much as is possible) of Frank Herbert 1965 epic, rather than putting their own stamp on it.
Never having read that original, I'm in no position to say whether it is or not.
What I will say, however (if it is) then so is the 2021 movie, although there are distinct visual differences between the two mediums.
This also ends in a different place, slightly earlier than the movie, with Paul and Jessica alone in the desert and before their run-in with the Fremen.
So, yes, engaging if dragging slightly in parts and well set-up for the release of Part 2 in Autumn 2022 ...
