Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Sin & Magic (Demigod of San Francisco #2) in Books

4.25 stars
This one didn't drag me in like the first but I did enjoy it.
The camaraderie is still there in spades between pretty much all of them now. Alexis and Kierans relationship progressed quite nicely and we solved a few mysteries from the first book.
I will be reading the next book just to see what's going to happen next with this gang of amazing people.

Every time you think you have something figured out in this book, the author throws you a curveball. I never knew what to expect when reading this book but enjoyed it overall. The world building was good, but I hope it is developed more in subsequent books. It could be so rich and immersive if that happens. Some of the scenes were weak and made the pacing drag. The main character is relatable despite her unexpected change in station and dramatic odyssey. As seems typical in recent YA fiction there is an element of a love triangle. I don't find it entirely believable, so it pulls me out of the narrative at times. Some of the scenes were weak and made the pacing drag. Overall, it's an enjoyable read and I will be reading the subsequent books in the series. Definitely recommend reading this book if you like YA fiction about space, technology, bad guys, adventure or romance.

Some new characters. (1 more)
A few good moments.
This was the fourth Star Wars movie, but the first in the storyline and you can see why they didn't bother starting off with this one as it's dull generally and a drag to watch. The story fails to encapsulate you and it falls way short in entertainment. (1 more)
I watched this when it first came out and I never wanted to watch it since!
The fourth film.......erm!

I absolutely loved this book. I’m usually not a fan of period pieces as they tend to drag on and be boring but the way this book was written I was sucked in from the first page. The attention to detail and the way the author described each character really brought the book alive. This is a great coming of age/witchcraft novel and it’s part of a series that makes it even better!

World Expansion
WOW
There are parts of this book that do drag a bit, but if you can get through those small pieces, this is an amazing read. The last 20 pages or so of the book make the entire read an epic journey. Without any spoilers, it's safe to say that this book brings about pieces of the story every Drizzt fan has been waiting for since day one.

This was interesting. it was fast paced and at times i had to wrack my brain to remember what character was who. It had a lot of love to hate villans though and that was so much fun. I enjoyed the characters. I didn't think it needed to be quite as long as it was only because some places seemed to drag for me.. But overall the storyline was good and the characters were good :)

Rumors of Yeshua and His healing power have reached a leper colony. Some of them venture outside to find Him and bring Him back. Will He come heal the rest? Will it be in time? The characters are rich and deep, which makes the climax powerful, but the story does drag at times.
