This is the second book in the Veil Chronicles and it has a different perspective from the first although I feel the events run fairly parallel. You learn more about the society and even one of the characters from Wild Magic. It is all like pieces of a puzzle and I can't wait to fit them all together.

Another enjoyable ride through the almost-end-of-the-world. Each time I listen i realize how much more I like the rebuilding process, rather than the parts that follow the great coming together of each side. Seeing how the different people handle the major change in their lives is always my favorite part of this book.

Good, but complicated
The cast is great and work well together, but the DM is a little railroad-y. Three plot is complicated, and it gets even more so when the party is split. It's also really produced, with lots of discussion and play cut. It's not my favorite D&D podcast, but it's still good.

This book has perhaps the best ending ever as it looks like a character I hate is about to dealt with.

Things are starting to come together in this book, however you are left a bit wary as there is still another book to go so you know that it will not be a happy ending just yet.

really smart well written political action story
really great page and panel layout very creative
even thought i liked the punisher war machine run this was a great return to form to the traditonal version of the punisher while still building upon the story beats put together in that previous run

Didn’t flow
Watchable but disjointed
While being a watchable movie the story seemed like a mash of disjointed scenes.
Hugh Jackman pretty much carries the film on his charm & surprisingly good singing. The cast give a great performance but it just doesn’t pull together.
Miss the Adamantium Claws though!

Great end to a great series! Su Yi gets very sick, and relatives come in from everywhere to be with her...and try to get in her good graces for a good inheritance. The stories of all the characters weave together and make for a wonderful conclusion. Definitely enjoyed this series and I definitely recommend it!

I love the marvel franchise and I think the combination of all the characters was well put together with some astonishing cinematography (0 more)
I felt that it was a tad violence heavy, whilst I understand all fights were seemingly necessary to the plot I just felt there were one too many scenes that ended in a fight. (0 more)

The film lingers with you after watching it, leaving you questioning what exactly you just watched and attempting to piece together a clear understanding of the total film, which is an exercise that may prove impossible.

Man, this was REALLY intense and scary for me.

I wish it was a little shorter and that the book moved along at a quicker pace (story-wise) but it was a suspenseful and intriguing read. Add that together + a lackluster ending and you get an exciting book that falls short of something a little more thought out.
