The Golden Compass (2007)
2007 | Action, Drama, Sci-Fi
A good film with some great special effects and a great cast. Maybe a bit more child orientated than some others films of this type that have come out recently. Similar to The Chronicles of Narnia. If you like a good fantasy film you'll enjoy this, just hope the next part is a bit better.

"A riveting art film that chronicles the dramatic life and death of the great twentieth-century Japanese novelist Yukio Mishima, and also brings to life three of his fictional works. The real-life story is as dark and surprising as any of the novels. Philip Glass’s original score works perfectly with the striking imagery."

"The most memorable book present in my life has to be Rosemary Sutcliffe’s marvelous The Chronicles of Robin Hood. My parents bought it for my seventh birthday to wean me off James Bond, gunfighters and martial arts. It didn’t succeed, but it was the first book that moved be enough to make me cry."

Excellent short story (read in under an hour) telling some of the background to the full Chronicles of the Black Gate series.
While the short story doesn't go into much detail on the world, races, geography etc this doesn't hinder enjoyment as a standalone work, as well as being a nice opener for the series as a whole.

This is the second book in the Veil Chronicles and it has a different perspective from the first although I feel the events run fairly parallel. You learn more about the society and even one of the characters from Wild Magic. It is all like pieces of a puzzle and I can't wait to fit them all together.

The second book in the Keatyn Chronicles is just as good as the first. Keatyn tries to continue with her life and adjust now she is at boarding school.

The continuation of the writing style as a diary really helps you to become invested in Keatyn’s daily life and struggles.

Definitely recommend this series if you enjoy YA romances.
