WOW! Simply wow
Wow. That's the first thing that comes to mind when I think of this book. From the earliest pages the reader becomes drawn into the smallest pieces of the characters lives. When the world falls into absolute chaos upon the release of a deadly virus that wipes out the majority of the world, it becomes vital to bring together the survivors. With some of the typical "King" flair and some help from the super natural folks are drawn to good or evil. This is easily one of the best books ever written.

Unexpectedly good
Ok I wasn't sure I was going to like it. The beginning didn't endear me to the characters, and seemed a bit too far fetched even for a fantasy novel. However I kept reading and found myself not wanting to put it down. The author writes in a rich descriptive poetic style, very beautiful at times and when it's not, it's mildly funny and a little crude.
It certainly does not lack depth in any of the characters, which was what concerned me at the beginning. The plot is skilfully woven together and left me wanting more.

Great two player game
My wife and I love this game. The rulebook is simple, the options on you turn arent overwhelming, and the theme seems appropriate to the mechanics.
Play time per session is about 30 minutes including setup and tear down. We also upgraded this game with real buttons from the boardgamegeek.com marketplace, which adds better aesthetics over cardboard.
My wife has no complaints about the game, but I dont like that some pieces dont perfectly interlock with eachother.

I have been binge watching this with my mom and we both love the show. I'd heard from a few friends that the pacing is too slow and while I can see what they're talking about, I don't agree. I find the flashbacks and the ghost easter eggs as well as the ways the storylines are being brought together to be very satisfying. I really like that while it has them, it doesn't rely on jumpscares. The acting is hit or miss, but the main cast are all very talented. I would definitely recommend watching it, especially if you prefer old school horror.
  
This three box set series is exciting, thrilling, and one epic fantasy.
The series follows Dana a reluctant princess and Will a man who can see more in Dana than just the facade on the outside. Together they must save the empire and maybe each other along the way.

This is an epic fantasy that brings you in and makes you want to read all three books in a row. It is wonderful to have a box set that let's you do that. If you enjoy epic romance and an adventure to save a kingdom you will enjoy this.
  
The final in a wonderfully written trilogy this story brings together some of my favorite things. Reliance on someone that you barely know and fighting for what you believe in while conquering yourself. While I did get a tad bored through some of it most of the book follows the same format and writing style as the first two. This makes it an easy read that can be done all in one sitting. You will find yourself swept into the world and enjoying the main characters while rooting for them.
Perfect for fans of the Chronicles of Narnia.

OMG, what a read, this book had me smiling, laughing then crying all at the same time. This book just sucks you in from the first page, keeping you hooked till the very last page. two amazing characters which were perfect together. The male character is definitely swoon worthy. This story is told in dual points of view by both main characters, I love this cause you get to understand both characters. I can't wait to read from this author in the future.
