Beautifully written fantasy

I absolutely love Erin Morgensterns writing, I just don't know how she comes up with these wonderful concepts. I loved the Night Circus but I must say this was even better. The concept was so clever and I really fell in love with the characters even the bad guys. I didn't see the ending coming and finished the book feeling numb.

I do enjoy this series. It may only be the second book but it feels like I've known the characters for a while now and I like them all, crazy as they are sometimes. I also love how Tori manages to get herself in trouble half the time and the guys come to her rescue and then end up saving each other in the end. Equal opportunities and all that.

I'm looking forward to book 3!

I loved Dex, his humour and general way of living was very fun reading. He loved to wind people up and do crazy things...LOVED him! Sloane, you certainly grew on me, especially after that little scene around half way through!

I look forward to reading more of you two! And figuring out what this new group of bad guys are after.

P.S. This also made a nice change from the usual M/M Shapeshifter Romances!

Movie Favorite

"I used to tell Mel Brooks stories about the guys I knew hanging around a diner, and he mentioned Fellini’s I vitelloni as something I should see. Back in those days, it was very hard to find a film like that. So I wrote Diner and eventually saw I vitelloni. In retrospect, I’m glad I didn’t see it before making Diner. If I did, I think it might have made me too intimidated to write about my own friends."

Huh...i thought I'd enjoy this more. It dragged in places and I definitely felt like I was reading something that was written in the nineties. It wasn't modern enough for me romance wise. I like my rough and ready, dirty talking guys and my kick arse gals but other than the occasional scene, it wasn't there.

It had a good premise but it fell short for me. It was too long, too. I get bored by long books.

Plot

Poor sequel

After the last air bender I had high hopes for this series but it just doesn't flow like it. The characters are unlikable and often down right annoying. There is no consistent purpose for the series and what she is trying to do and the bad guys don't ever seen to pose genuine threat. There are are also too many WTF moments wondering why characters do what they do.

Podcast Rating

The guys of At The Flicks have a wide interest in films and I've picked up lots of interesting and varied things for my watchlist. There's always something interesting to listen to including interviews, reviews and regular features. A particularly entertaining episode is number 80 on Ten Disappointing Films, the debates range from interesting to dubious accompanied by some laughs. It's a great podcast to listen to if you want to pick up on things that aren't just mainstream.
