Book Rating

Sequal as good as the original

Nazarian’s sequal to Qualify is a fascinating look at a journey through space for the teenagers who qualified to escape Earth and travel to Atlantis. The novel provides more character development for the mysterious prince of Atlantis. The writings ebbs and flows with the excitement of special events and the monotony of space, which is appropriate for the setting. The world of the spaceship the characters are in is well fleshed out and unique.

Alison is my favourite historical author - her characters are as close to their true stories as fiction can possibly allow them to be. She can get inside the time period and their heads to take the reader on an emotional and exciting journey. It is the plight of Tudor women she does this with best; and the two books about Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane Grey are my favourites. I have loved devouring her books - easy reads and original twists.

On my journey to read more science fiction books I stumbled upon this one. The story itself was interesting and had some cool twists to it that I was not expecting. It was definitely one of those stories where I kept guessing at the answers to the mystery as I was slowly fed more and more information about the situation. It was a fun read but I don’t know if I am intrigued enough by the characters to keep reading this series.

Great backstories

Mix of hilarity and all the feels

Only 8 episodes and not much chance of a second season (0 more)

Utter Work of Genius!

An absolutely brilliant show of epic proportions. I loved the characters, their histories, their journey, the feels, the laughter, the crying, the utter complexity of what makes Minchin and Alcock just so blumming fabulous. I loved their random friendship and how much they meant to each other. Just brilliant.

Romantic!

Everyone loves a romantic up-to-date film, this didn't fail! With the confusion of a young girl who finally has a boyfriend only to not understand her feelings towards an old flame, although if it was my choice it would have been Peter Kavinsky all along. But going through her confusing journey this amazing young actress drags you in to feel everything she is feeling, couldn't have played the role any better. As always a happy ending. Worth the watch!
