graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Murder on the Iditarod Trail in Books
Feb 15, 2019
Smooth and easy reading. The mystery was interesting but there weren't many viable suspects so it was pretty obvious. However the information on the Iditarod was fascinating and plentiful. It seems very well researched in that regard, and I'd venture a guess that if there are any mistakes, they're minor. I really liked the author's writing style and I can see how she's been compared to Nevada Barr (who's fantastic in my opinion). While I'm not sold on the series as a whole yet, I will definitely pick up the next one to see how it develops.

I read the first four a while back and went straight out as I was sucked in by the writing and I just wanted more!!
I have just read the fifth about 1 month ago.
I love how she is a weird kid, with weird 'powers' but I also love how she becomes her own women and struggles through it and comes out on top. All five books are fantastic and I cant wait for the 6th final book to come out just to see if true love really can conquer all in the face of adversity.

David McK (3248 KP) rated Robin Hood (2018) in Movies

The most recent cinematic take (at the time of writing) of the Robin Hood legend, this is an extremely generic actioner - akin to the recent King Arthur, legend of the sword movie - that attempts to bring the tale to modern audiences.
As such, it touches all the key points - Robin of Locksley, the Crusades, Marian, the sheriff of Nottingham - while also attempting to be more inclusive (John is now a Moor, for example) than that legend.
I'm also not sure about some of the set design or costumes, and Ben Mendehlson (the sheriff) is no Alan Rickman!

Didn't Match Up
This book is about first love, and having a physical relationship for the first time. Normally I enjoy cute love stories, but this was a little flat. The topic and themes were solidly YA, but the writing style is more middle grade. This made the characters come across as younger than what they were. I think if the book had focused more on the emotional aspects of their relationship it would have been better. Unfortunately it was mostly about their sex life. The one up side is that the book did put a lot of emphasis on safe sex.

fantastic read
This is a teenage second chance romance read, which will keep you hooked till ten very last page. The author has a fab way of writing so it didn't seem immature. This is an emotional read, so have the tissues at the ready. The characters were really well written and the relationship between them will have you falling in love with them. The story ends on a cliff hanger ending. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended read

Auburn (57 KP) rated Winter War Awakening (Blood Rose Rebelion #3) in Books
Apr 10, 2019
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.

this is the first book I've read by this author and I really liked it. this book started a little slow but then quickly moved on, the added suspense element made the story move quickly. I really liked the characters and the story was good with lots of suspense parts. the author has a way of writing which will have you smiling at the characters and what they get up to, what a lovely read. I really enjoyed reading this book and will defiantly be looking out for more from this author.
