My review of The Cruel Prince is up and ready to be read! If you don't have the time I'll summarise, if you like YA fantasy but it, don't look at the price just hand over your money and your soul.
     
Army of Darkness (1992)
Army of Darkness (1992)
1992 | Action, Comedy, Horror
Third in the Evil Dead series, even more comedy is introduced and a fantasy element implemented. More fun than a bag of puppies that crap 100 dollar bills and solidified Bruce Campbell as the master of camp with geniius proportions

Fantasy at it's best
This is a highly addictive read that draws you in from the first page. You immediately care about the characters and what happens to them, and for me, that is the core of a successful book

I wasn't sure what to expect from this novel but i was pleasantly surprised as it was a beautiful story told from a fantasy version of early Russia, bringing myths to life in a wobderful way that grabbed my attention.

One of my faves!

I Am Not Okay With This
I Am Not Okay With This
2020 | Fantasy
I watched the entire first season in one sitting. The humor is amazing but I also like the realistic emotions tied in with fantasy. Really enjoyed it (and have already watched it a second time through in less than a week).
