Auburn (57 KP) rated The Darkest Star (Origin, #1) in Books
Apr 10, 2019
A new book in the ever magnificent Lux universe. The Darkest Star brings new light to the world while standing on its own as a magnificent book. The plot focuses on both tragic love but equally on just what are Luxon and are they truly the most dangerous aliens out there.
Evie and Luc bring banter, tension, and laughs as they spend more time together and learn exactly who they could be together.
I absolutely adore this book and am excited that it can be read as a standalone and not as a continuation of the orignial series. If you haven't read Lux it is ok, you will still enjoy this book!

Three shorts taped together
When an animated film does well, there is usually a follow-on of some short films, or a TV series. I mean like the Shrek Halloween shorts, or the Boss Baby series on Netflix.
I think this is what was planned here - three short films for distribution some how, but they weren't sure what to do with them. So they seem to have decided to stitch them together and pad them out into a film.
The film as a whole is enjoyable but jumps around all over the place. Each of the stories in isolation are very enjoyable, with enough humour and charm to keep the audience entertained.

I loved it all. So much fun to see another side to this author. I loved the musician aspect as well. The love, the hardships, the conflicts and the amazing bond between sisters and even through everything they are together. I loved how it ended and the end brought everything together perfectly. The lyrics are amazing.. and I loved Saul. He brought more into this story. The betrayal involved was perfect for the story and made me feel. As always when reading I felt like I was brought into the story. I love that Alexia can make me feel like I transported to the story and I have to finish reading it as soon as possible. Amazing!

This is a beautiful game! It is very well done, thematically. The directions were only slightly difficult to follow. My friends and I had to restart the first move a few times because we kept doing something wrong. I would suggest a "practice round" for the first go to make sure that you are doing everything right. The pieces are very well made, however, some of the trees were falling apart after only one play. This is partially due to the way they are all stored in the box. The company did a good job of creating the pieces so they went together snugly and would stay together but not every piece could be perfect.

This is the third book in the series about Freya and her sisters who have been turned into Frae by the cauldron as Freya and her mate and some friends continue their battle against the courts Lords to stop them destroying the human lands and being humans and Fae together. Freya discovers that destroying the cauldron doesn't stop the deaths and destruction happening and ends up forging the pieces back together. They lose their father in this part of the series though they find out that their father loves them even though they are now Fae. Not sure if there is going to be any more in the series. Very enjoyable YA book.

When it all comes together
One man's goal, to find out the truth when other specialsts can't... A woman who has remained silent, unable or unwilling to talk after being found over the dead body of her partner and sent to a hospital for mental health issues after being found guilty of his murder...
I read the second half of this book in one sitting after being gripped at one point mid way through and just couldn't put it down, wanting to know exactly what happened that fateful day.
The story does appear slightly fragmented at points BUT it all come together in the end and then you see why.

Kirk Bage (1775 KP) rated The Godfather (1972) in Movies

What is there left to say about the cream of this list, and the only one that would perhaps graduate to the title of greatest film ever made? For me, the package comes together, like tea and biscuits: one or the other is good, but both together and you really have something! Visually and emotionally one of the best stories ever shown on the silver screen. Told by an embarrassment of talent – Pacino, De Niro, Brando, Keaton, Caan, Duvall, Cazalle, and dozens of others. Not to mention the genius of Coppola in every shot, every frame, every patient, weighted and impactful moment. The bar that may never be surpassed! “I knew it was you, Fredo”. Goosebumps!
