Charlotte (184 KP) rated An Eye for a Lie (Inspector Richter #1) in Books
Jun 17, 2019
An Eye for a Lie is a brilliant, gripping story that hooks you from the start.
I love a good crime mystery and this definitely falls into that category for me.
Richter is a well written, multi-layered character, although I didn't warm to him straight away but he totally grew on me.
Vessa is pretty cool, admittedly she falls for men like I fall for chocolate, but she's very insightful and has an intelligence that seems to have skipped a few members of the SFPD.
I'm impressed with how well Cy Wyss has managed to keep me entertained and engaged throughout, details are well balanced so I wasn't overwhelmed or bored. It was fab as it brought out the detective in me.

The story itself isn't bad and the characters are well developed as you'd always expect from King, and of course it's a well written story. I enjoyed reading it to a point and it was vagurly entertaining, but there's just something about this book that didn't wow me. It's a good read but it's by no means exceptional or stand out like a number of King's other stories.

KyleQ (267 KP) rated Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Among Thieves (2023) in Movies
Apr 13, 2023
Honor Among Thieves moves along at a brisk pace, using plenty of humor, which is well delivered by its humorous cast.
I was particularly worried from the trailer that this would be too focused on action and humor. Thankfully it wasn't.
Characters all have different backstories, though they are all quite predictable.
The main villain is very interesting and intense.
Action sequences are spaced out, well-choreographed, and quite clever.
Overall, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves doesn't really do anything new or different for the fantasy adventure genre. But what it does, it does well.
Very enjoyable, and a good introduction for D&D into the world of cinema.
