DMcQ (4 KP) rated Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980) in Movies
Dec 13, 2017
I like Darth Vader before seeing this one, but isn't he AMAZING! I know you're not supposed to like the villain, but we know pretty much everybody just loves Vader. The atmosphere of this movie is definitely more ominous, as it should be. The story is darker, it draws you into this building conflict that you're just waiting for someone to make the first strike (even when you've seen it umpteen times!). Many fans claim this as their favorite of the films, but I can't separate any of the original titles. I truly enjoy them as a full presentation, just with breaks in between each story segment. Empire Strikes Back is of course darker, but no less enjoyable for the whole family.

It wasn't quite what i was expecting, being a massive fan of the musical. It's definitely not as light and fun as the musical - it's a lot darker and deeper. However I did enjoy it as a standalone novel. The twists from the original story are so clever and its much more emotional and also quite political.

Darker Still
This 2nd book is where the Game picks up. Characters start to grow. Tyrion, Jamie even, Sansa and Arya all begin to show signs of major growth. With the realm awash in choas the plot thickens in a delightfully dark way. It was a book I simply didnt put down till it was done!

Life gets darker in the sixth in the series. The pace was better then the last book, but I really didn't care for the cliffhanger ending. I have little patience for books that don't give some resolution.

Dualing mysteries about the missing months of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his missing diary from that time. Both were interesting, but I thought the ending was darker in tone than the rest of the novel had been.

I love how quickly I can read these books. I start at page one and next thing I know it's two hours later and I'm 100 pages in. Harry's sarcasm and slight self deprivation helps lighten some if the darker aspects of the book. we see more people and feel the fallout from the last book.

GUYS. GUYS. GUYSSS. Fair warning.
This book. Is dark. Like really dark. It is not disturbing. It is just plain and downright darker than the pits of Hell and it can only get darker by the time the third book comes out.
Strangely, though, I really liked the sequel to The Young Elites – much better than the first one, though now I’m wondering if I would have liked it a lot more if I read the book rather than listening to the audio version. (I’ve always had a fondness for Adelina because helloooo. She is a villain. Villains are up my alley. The librarian spoke the truth.)
