Flynn (6 KP) rated The Wise Man's Fear in Books
Sep 10, 2018
It's certainly not a small book by any means, but surprisingly none of those 992 pages really felt like they drew on longer than they needed to. I will say Felurian's bit made me mildly uncomfortable from time to time though, but Kvothe's time in Adem made up for it. I will say if you're not looking for 992 pages of quality fantasy, it may not be the book for you, but if you're up for adventure with a splash of drama and pain then it'll be a fun, but long, read.

Although this book is aimed towards children of 9 years plus, I believe it's still a great read for adults. It really is a lot of fun! It's an adventure story filled with magic and mild horror, which in my opinion is a great mix. I knocked a star off as I thought the ending was quite abrupt. A massive build up which lead to a bit of an anticlimax.
I liked all of the characters and would like to see if they return in the second installment.

My favourite
This is by far my favourite of the Harry potter books. Different from the others because of the time turner.
Harry, Ron and Hermione start their third year at Hogwarts and as usual end up in trouble and an adventure. Not only has it got all the amazing things that make every Harry potter book great but with the addition of buckbeak, the new classes, the dementors and other amazing creatures. It is a book that I can read over and over again and still enjoy.

Jules Verne's classic which, I have to say, I could not help but think of the 80's cartoon while reading.
In case you've been living in a cave: late 19th century (1870s, I think) adventure, in which Phileas (or Willie, in the cartoon) Fogg makes a bet that he can travel around the world in 80 days - it's all there in the title! - accompanied by his valet Passepartout.
Set aside the colonialism of the time, the (sometimes) cringe-worthy racial stereotypes, and just enjoy the travel! Mind, there's no hot-air balloons involved ...

It’s all over!!
I didn’t actually realise that this was the last one in the series until I got to the last page. I had an inkling, but there was always the hope that it was just a pause: but it’s THE END!! And what an end! Everything has been wrapped up nicely, with a good dose of adventure in the lead up to the finale. I’ve really enjoyed this series and I’m rather sad to see it end, but I’m glad that it ended on a high.

Ready For Book Two
Can I start by asking, "When does the second book come out?! This retelling of King Midas surpassed all my wildest expectations and then some. This spin was written rather creatively and I found myself enjoying this adventure full of pirates, first loves and curses. I will tell you that I was shocked and caught off guard by some startling revelations and I eagerly await with anticipation for the next book. Kudos to this author's storytelling and spell weaving as I fell in love with the web she spun!

Contains spoilers, click to show
One of the most easy to watch and all out entertaining of Marvel movies. Plenty of action and humour it’s also very accessible as a solo adventure and you don’t need to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Avengers back stories in order to enjoy it. I think Paul Rudd was also a fantastic bit of casting and he’s as well suited to the role as Robert Downey JR was to Tony Stark/Iron Man. Scott Lang is likeable, funny and charismatic company and fast becoming one of my favourite Avengers.
