Joe, should you love him or should you fear him? That is what Beck has to decide in this awesome thriller. Who know a trip into a local bookstore would change both of their lives forever? She is a writer, he is a book lover, what could go wrong? A lot! This book has a lot of twists and turns and you won't know who you love, who you fear, who you hate, or what you feel in general. I highly recommend this book to everyone!

A great entry to the Transformers franchise
I didn't check reviews before seeing this after the last 2 Transformers films got panned. So it was an even more pleasant surprise how much fun this was. A lot more in tune with the first Transformers film. I like the fact the Transformers looked a lot more like the animated and toy versions of the 80's. Another good performance from Hailee Steinfield and a great 80's soundtrack made this a blast!

Album Favorite

"At 40 I was pretending I was 21 again in the Pistols reunion. I was listening to a lot of things people were giving me at the time but I had to relearn Never Mind the Bollocks. I’d forgotten how bloody fast that record is—even though a lot of the punk crowd was saying how slow it was when it was released. That’s how we wanted it though, we didn’t want that incredibly fast manic stuff. That’s the stuff that killed punk off. "

Rolling Stone's 409th greatest album of all time
This album should have been far higher up the RS list in my view. It may be that I was made to listen to it a lot growing up, but I still listen to it a lot these days. So many cracking songs on here, from the title track to People Are Strange (which will always remind me of @The Lost Boys (1987) ) to Love Me Two Times to the epic closer When The Music's Over.

Having read the prequel to this book already, I can see why a lot of people complained about the lack of worldbuilding. Even though the prequel is based in a neighboring country, there's a lot in this book that I understood based on events in Inkmistress. I definitely recommend reading that one first.

That said, I enjoyed this book a lot. I think Inkmistress is better, but that happens often with new authors. I think the sequel, Of Ice and Shadows, due out this summer, will probably be even better, and should bring the events of the previous two books together.

Like Inkmistress, bisexuality seems to be absolutely normal in Denna's country, with Denna not expressing a preference, Mare having had male and female lovers, and one of Denna's ladies having a female lover. (There is a brief mention of a gay couple as well.) I do wish nonbinary people would make an appearance, but it's something, at least.

There are a lot of twists and turns to the plot in this book, so while Inkmistress was fairly straightforward, this one took me by surprise multiple times. It also makes it much harder to talk about the plot without giving anything away!

I wish we'd discovered more about the King's council - several members of it seemed to have ulterior motives but we never got to see what those were. If we knew their motivations, some things might make a lot more sense and be a lot more satisfying.

Read Inkmistress. If you like the world, go ahead and read this book, because the events of this will be necessary to understand the third book, which takes us back to the country featured in Inkmistress. And I want to know more about that country!

It was interesting to read about the Gypsy culture and the holocaust. It explains a lot about they behaviour since then. The name changes of the characters can make it a bit difficult to follow the story.

A very great show that has one of the best comedic actors around. I grew up watching this show and I remember a lot of little things about the show especially the hours of enjoyment.

It's not the first time Disney has made an animal movie but I liked this one A LOT especially because it was about problems among all animals instead of just a few separate. ones.
