The protagonist in this story would be Elsie, a girl, who can do a few magical spells. She is only beginning to learn how to do magic, with the help of a great witch Magenta. I really liked Elsie, she is smart but kind little witch, that is not afraid of adventures. I really liked all the characters chosen for the book, they are all different and interesting to read about. They all have their moods, that make them special and memorable.

The narrative of this novel was easy, adventurous and entertaining. This book is not very long, and it is filled with beautiful illustrations. The narrative is quite surprising, and it has interesting turns and unexpected surprises. I absolutely loved the magical larder, that makes any dish/food you wish for. (I need this in my life!!!

Amazing story about an owner of the hotel and his many adventures, poured through time as the story gets told by many characters through the years.

Very interesting storytelling, something I haven't encountered before, but loved it. If you know any movies that follow the same concept, I would love your suggestions.

We enter the life of a hotel management, a hotel that has a life of its own. We follow the owner and the lobby boy, as they try to solve a mystery regarding a rich and powerful woman, that gets murdered but has an interesting will.

These people embark on an adventure for truth, in times where everything seems to be against them.

I loved the cameos from so many popular actors, and also loved the dry humour. A very beautiful, intriguing and unique movie.

Meh

A bit disappointed in this one. The action sequences were fun and the cinematography was pretty good. Where it disappoints is there story. It should have been called "Harley's Adventures" as she is the main and only constant throughout the film. Margot Robbie, once again, played Hatley very well, but the rest of the cast were just ok. The story was all over the place and, being that it takes place in Gotham- with Sionis and Victor Zsaz involved- it would've been cool to see an appearance from at least one of the caped crusaders. But, I get it, it was a movie made to showcase a bunch of women kicking ass. Anyway, it's an ok movie of you just want some mindless action with a few humorous moments thrown in for good measure. Worth a watch.
