Tabletop Game Rating

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.

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!
