"Beautiful and full of monsters, all the best stories are"

boy oh boy oh boy was this book beautiful (and full of monsters) and magical I was so captivated by the story and the land that I can completely understand how Lazlo got so caught up in the city of Weep.

If you're looking for an epic high fantasy I highkey recommend this one. It will touch your soul in new and exciting ways. Laini Taylor is a genius!!!

"This was one of the earliest tapes I ever had. It had The Four Seasons, oldies, doo wop and stuff. When I finally had a radio in my room when I was 9 or 10, I’d listen to this station in New York called 101.1 which just played oldies. I’d listen all night, waiting to hear “Dream Lover” or “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”. These epic songs of the ’50s and ’60s were the first songs I got obsessed with."

Peter Weir's 2003 Napoleonic naval epic, based on the Aubrey/Maturin books by Patrick O'brien and starring a post-Gladiator Russel Crowe alongside a PRE-MCU Paul Bettany.

And, like the books, I found this to be quite slow and heavy going: nice visuals, definitely, and some tense moments, but the connective 'tissue' very drawn out and just, well, boring.

Hornblower this isn't.

Your mileage may vary on whether that is a good thing or not.

I can't lie - I felt a thrill when I realized Tarryn had written from Leah's point of view, after I freaked out, of course! As much as I hate Leah, I loved reading from the villain's perspective. All the twists and turns, all the lies, it was all in epic proportions and there was no way I could predict what was next. Despite that tiny thrill, I was happy to get away from her evil thoughts and endless plots.
