Book Rating

I really struggled with the second age books. This, the first volume, takes some time getting used to, moving from a more traditional fantasy setting into something of a Western setting. The magic system has changed somewhat due to what happened in the first trilogy, so it is good to see how a character with access to only one metal's power compares.
A good book on its own, if you can handle the western setting, but nothing compared to the first age trilogy.

Honestly, who does not love this book. I, sadly, didn't even know about this book until I was in high school but I immediately went out and bought it for my daughter when I first learned I was pregnant. I have since carried on traditional and each of my kids have their own copy.
This book is an appropriate gift for baby showers, graduations, "milestone" birthdays, etc. And if you haven't read it yet then what are you waiting for?

Creative and Realistically Horrific

So many people can't get past the issue of race which is a key element in this movie. But looking at the bigger picture...this could be a reality for ANYONE regardless of race or religion. Forget traditional slavery. That's terrifying in it's own way. But this movie proposes a realistic idea of society that will keep you up at night to avoid bigger nightmares that Freddy, Jason, or Michael ever caused.

Erika (17788 KP) rated Ghosts of Sugar Land (2019) in Movies

I came across this short film on Netflix and decided to watch it because it was about Sugar Land. It featured a group of Muslim friends, and a dude that became Muslim and ended up radicalized.
My favorite part about the whole short film was that the guys being interview all wore hilarious Halloween masks to hide their identity because of the nature of the documentary. It also shows an interesting dichotomy between modern, 1st generation American Muslims and traditional Muslims.
