Edge of your seat let down

I had to watch this movie twice to make sure I read not missing something. It has a lot of twists and turns but in the end you are left with questions. I hope there is a prequel and a sequel.....I feel it would take both to answer all my questions.

Cool 90's vibe (1 more)

Great Soundtrack

Autobots roll out!

Another Transformers Film but this time it's more of a prequel set in '94. As with Bumblebee that had a great 80's vibe this somes up the era well. Especially with a cool RnB soundtrack to boot. Some cool SFX as always and good Action scenes make this more fun than the last outing.

Ivana A. | Diary of Difference (1171 KP) rated The Bone Knife (Dauntless Path, #1.5) in Books

Oct 2, 2020

The Bone Knife by Intisar Khanani is a prequel to a new series, The Theft of Sunlight that is hopefully coming out in 2021. This prequel was included in my copy of Thorn, which I loved, and I thought I would also share what I think of The Bone Knife.

Synopsis
Rae knows how to look out for her family. Born with a deformed foot, she feigns indifference to the pity and insults that come her way. Wary of all things beautiful, Rae instantly distrusts their latest visitor: an appallingly attractive faerie. Further, his presence imperils the secret her sister guards. But when the local townspeople show up demanding his blood, Rae must find a way to protect both her sister’s secret and their guest. Even if that means risking herself.

My Thoughts:
Even though this prequel is only 35 pages long, I felt incredibly invested in this story. Rae is such a sweet soul, and it's no surprise that she attracted the attention of the faerie. I also loved how Rae's relationship with her sister is so strong. She will do anything to prevent people from knowing that her sister possesses magical powers.

Beautifully written with very descriptive characters, this was a lovely nice short read that made me so excited about book one - The Theft of Sunlight.

David McK (3425 KP) rated Lesser Evil (Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendency, #3) in Books

Sep 25, 2022

Final part in Timothy Zahn's newest Thrawn trilogy, which itself acts as a sort of a prequel to his earlier prequel Thrawn trilogy (in which Thrawn joins the Empire), which itself is a prequel - of sorts - to his appearance in the tv show 'Star Wars: Rebels', with the latter most likely a result of his immense popularity since he was first introduced in Zahn's own (now defunct) 'Heir to the Empire' trilogy from the early 1990s.

Anyway - and, as before for this trilogy - this is set 'A long time ago, beyond a galaxy far, far away ...' and finally completes the arc/narrative started in Chaos Rising (and continued on in Greater Good) with the Chiss Ascendency under attack from a shadowy figure who has been pulling the strings all along (now that I type that, sounding a bit like Palpatine (it's not) ) turning the Ascendency against itself and their neighbours also against them at the same time. It's actually only really in the epilogue, where Thrawn and another character discuss the Fall of the Republic and the Rise of the Empire that you really only get a sense of where and when these events happen, which is both the novels greatest strength (it's fresh! it's not beholden to what-has-come-before) and weakness (the setting may be too 'new' for more casual Star Wars fans).

Anethor movie based off of a board game

Contains spoilers, click to show

So im not sure why this movie happened, but it happened. This movies prequel is better than this. Thats how bad this movie is.

DescriptionFollowing the sudden death of her best friend, Debbie, Laine finds an antique Ouija board in Debbie's room and tries to use it to say goodbye. Instead, she makes contact with a spirit that calls itself DZ. As strange events begin to occur, Laine enlists others to help her determine DZ's identity and what it wants. As the friends delve deeper, they find that Debbie's mysterious death was not unique, and that they will suffer the same fate unless they learn how to close the portal they've opened.

So this movie makes no sense at all. Also micheal bay produced this movie so thats why its bad.

Dont bother watching this film, i would reccomend the prequel.
