Stephanie (4 KP) rated Ticket to Ride: Europe in Tabletop Games

Ticket to Ride: Europe

2005 | Transportation, Travel

8.3

(20 Ratings)

Tabletop Game Rating

Ticket to ride is a very fun and strategic game for the whole family to play. This game takes a little bit of patience when first learning how to play as some aspects of the game can be a bit tricky to understand. Once you fully know the rules and understand how to play, then the game tends to run quite fast as you only have 4 options of things to do each time your turn comes round. This is a game that you can pick up and play a couple of times in a row. It is a great game and is especially good for all those competitive players out there.

Joelene Marie (28 KP) rated Akata Witch (Akata Witch, #1) in Books

Oct 1, 2018

Loved it! Not sure why I didn't pick it up sooner, it's absolutely wonderful! I really enjoyed the cultural details and mythology of Nigeria as well as how the author used physical abnormalities and learning disorders such as albinoism, scoliosis, and dyslexia as an indicator of strong magical abilities. I also thought the characters were well developed and relatable. My only issue was with the climax. There was such a strong buildup for an ultimately underwhelming ending. Overall, I found it to be a wonderful story that fans of Harry Potter will likely enjoy. I can't wait to read Akata Warrior to see what happens next!
*Thanks to First to Read for the arc!*

Short, sharp story

Hummingbird Creek is psychiatric hospital where vitamins and forced schedules are key.

A short sharp snappy novel with a fantastic idea and some good characters. The plot twists were interesting if a little obvious for me, although this is below my reading grade.

The teenagers have limited lives and it is quite sad in places. Often perked up by the happier characters in the book.

The book potentially misses a trick by not delving into the problems of the characters very deeply. Could be some learning points for the target audience. I suppose that may stop it from having the quick read feel and it may get darker
