Kingdom of Ash ( Throne of glass book 7)
By Sarah J Maas
Aelin Galathynius's journey from slave to assassin to queen reaches its heart-rending finale as war erupts across her world …
She has risked everything to save her people – but at a tremendous cost. Locked in an iron coffin by the Queen of the Fae, Aelin must draw upon her fiery will to endure the months of torture inflicted upon her. The knowledge that yielding to Maeve will doom those she loves keeps her from breaking, but her resolve is unravelling with each passing day…
With Aelin imprisoned, Aedion and Lysandra are the last line of defence keeping Terrasen from utter destruction. But even the many allies they've gathered to battle Erawan's hordes might not be enough to save the kingdom. Scattered throughout the continent and racing against time, Chaol, Manon, and Dorian must forge their own paths to meet their destinies. And across the sea Rowan hunts to find his captured wife and queen – before she is lost to him.
Some bonds will deepen and others be severed forever, but as the threads of fate weave together at last, all must fight if they are to find salvation – and a better world.
Wow!!!!
I don’t know where to start these books have gotten me through some tough times from the dirty assassin dragged from endovier to the queen riding a white stag into battle,I’ve walked every step with her! Everything single character has made me laugh,scream,shout,gasp and cry or any other available emotion. I almost can’t believe it’s over Sarah J Maas has a massive talent her world building is just amazing!
So we finally see them all come to the end of their journey’s end and this 1000 page book did not disappoint I’ve not cried at a book for a while but this one had me in tears a few times! They all have so much to contend with and still find strength in each other to keep fighting to keep the darkness out! I loved both Erawan and Maeves endings they were absolutely perfect. I really could rattle on for hours thank you Sarah for bringing such a beautiful series! What’s next??? Start again!!!!

Cheap (1 more)
Easy To Pickup
For Your Eyes Only.
Codenames: Deep Undercover is the NSFW Adult Only team game.
This game is simple, Split into teams, and try to guess the words.
Your Spymasters role is to give you a single word and a number (ie. Ball 4)
As the agents your team must try to work out the 4 cards on the table that link to the word 'Ball', without picking any of the other teams words, or god forbid, The Assassin.
This game is simple to pick up and easy to play, however this game does require some aspect of thought. It's just as fun while drunk however it does make this game considerably more difficult.
Honestly, no game room is complete without some variation of this game. It's easy to set up, and games take from between 10-30 minutes.
A good way to start a night in (or even pre drinks for a night out).
The print quality is high, and game pieces are substantial enough to last a long time.
TL;DR
-Quick Games
-Easy to Learn
-Easiest sober, but possible drunk
-A must have

Crystal (9 KP) rated Dualed (Dualed, #1) in Books
Jul 4, 2018
Dualed was better than I initially thought it would be. Even as I began reading, I wasn't very impressed. But somewhere along the way I began to care about the character, and be drawn into the story. To be honest, there are still parts that I feel could have been explained better, such as why she truly becomes a striker (aka assassin). But by the end I guess it mostly makes sense, just would have liked a more definitive reason to begin with. The story takes place in a dystopian future in one specific 'city', though it seems larger than just a city. But, it is in one of those worlds where we really don't know much of what is beyond her 'city'. It is briefly described, but it is one of those situations where you wonder if this will eventually come into play or if the entire story will only take place within the confines of the 'city'. This first book only takes place within the city, but there is a 2nd book recently released, so I plan on reading it to see if there is anything more revealed.
David McK (3425 KP) rated The King's Assassin (The Outlaw Chronicles, #7) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
This, I believe, is the penultimate entry in [a: Angus Donald|584064|Angus Donald|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]'s 'Outlaw' series of novels dealing with the legend of Robin Hood.
If I'm honest, I also have to say that I read the title as meaning 'an assassin belonging to a King' rather than what proves to be the actual meaning: a (failed) attempt to assassinate the King (who, at this stage, is John).
As before, this is presented as the elderly Alan a Dale (now in a monastery as he has been since the opening of [b: Outlaw|17333533|Outlaw|Ted Dekker|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1364009572s/17333533.jpg|24064806], and by this stage dictating rather than writing himself) recalling his earlier life in the company of Robin and his men.
The main 'hook' of this particular entry in the series is the events leading up to the signing of Magna Carta, with King John proving to be an unpopular and failing ruler, especially compared to his older brother Richard ('the Lionheart'), and with Robin instrumental in bringing about the famous document.

Superhero spy movie?
415. American Assassin. It was pretty brutal, I dug it. Once Michael Keaton enters the scene, I couldn't help but think it was 89' Bruce Wayne training Robin to be the next Batman! Anyways, on the day that Mitch decides to propose to his special lady friend, a terrorist organization decides to strike, opening fire in a crowded resort killing anyone that crosses their path. You may have guessed that Mitch's girl gets killed, Mitch himself is hit several times himself but survives. And now he wants revenge. Starts some intense training and some pretty decent covert ops stuff all by his lonesome, and this gets the attention of the CIA, and gets himself recruited by Sanaa Lathan, she knows a few things about warfare, she did fight side by side with a Predator against some Xenomorphs! She see's something special in Mitch and she sends him to Michael Keaton's character Batman and he trains Mitch to be an unstoppable killing machine. And when an old foe surfaces it's Batman and Robin to the rescue! Pretty action packed, fun to watch Mitch enjoying his new job to the fullest!! Do it!! Filmbufftim on FB!
