So I'm currently working through my backlog of Kindle books. Ones that have been on my Kindle for 6 or 7 years and this one was the latest.

2.5 stars

It started quite good and I was enjoying the relationship between Hunter and our girl but my interest started to waver a little after the middle when Hunter kept getting annoyed at being unable to tell her the truth for the thousandth time. I was growling at my Kindle, saying, what are you hiding?!
Admittedly, it did take me a little by surprise but not enough.

And then in relation to a certain boy. I figured it was you from about half way through, probably about the time my interest started to wander, with all your glaring and huffing and general moodiness. A bit too obvious.

Kudos

In all honesty I'll admit I didn't really 'watch' this film, it was on in the background whilst I played some games.

*But* when I stick films on in the background they normally grab my attention a few times, and I can keep up with the plot easily enough.
I can say I kept up with the plot of this one, but from what I can tell the dialogue wasn't great, as there was nothing that particularly stood out, as it was a bit of the over tired tropes, and predictable from the outset.

There were a couple of good looking set pieces and action sequences, and the rest didn't look terrible.

If you are looking for an easy to watch sci-fi action film, that's not too heavy on plot, character development, or being overly sciencey, then this could be for you!

It's the last one, sadly--I'll admit it's grown on me a lot over the past two books, the pace picking up and everything coming together--and in my opinion, the best one.

The final showdown between Gwen and friends and Loki and the reapers has been a long time brewing and let me tell you that battle was edge of your seat stuff. I mean, I know they wouldn't lose because that would have been a crappy ending, but how the author wrote it. The tension of not knowing how Gwen was going to come out on top pushed it from the usual 4 star up to a 4.5/5 stars.

Seeing how all the characters we've come to know over the previous five books come together to fight the Reapers, well, I really liked this ending.
