Merissa (12051 KP) rated The Healer: Tales of Pern Coen (Bloodlines #0.5) in Books

Jul 28, 2024

THE HEALER is a prequel novella to Conor and Rhiannon's story in the Bloodlines series. It features Conor's sister, Brynn, as one of the main characters, plus Macsen, who works with the blacksmith and bowyer. It tells how Kelnore first arrives on Pern Coen and what happens when they do.

What a fantastic prequel this was! Brynn was a fascinating supporting character in Conor's books, and I'm so happy to have this one from her perspective. It explains so much about the following books that you won't even be aware of - unless you've already read them, as I have. What it did for me was to make me want to read Bloodlines all over again!

I loved returning to Pern Coen and can't wait to see what happens next. I would love more from this timeline as I'm very greedy!

Absolutely unputdownable and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by me.

Starwars prequel

I really loved this movie as far as starwars goes .it s beautiful futureistic settings.strong characters who arnt made for just verry young kids .its verry teen to adult storyline.lots of action beliveable and even the smartmouth empire robot is funny yet not too over powering.ive watched this movie 3 times and could watch again.id have ranked it ahead of the first two made starwars movies but they were the first two and still hold a huge place in my heart...well worth the watch.

Bad Camera

This third-person shooter game was one of my favorite GameCube games of all time. Lucasarts put out a few great Star Wars games in the 1990s and 2000s, and this was one of them.

Original actor Temuera Morrison again supplied the voice of Jango who is probably one of the coolest prequel characters.

The adventure and shooting enemies was great fun and kept me engaged for hours and hours. Unfortunately, rotating the camera, especially in tight spaces was a big negative.

Basically, Star Wars 'what-if's'.

What if Lukes attack run on the original Death Star had failed?
What if Luke had frozen to death on Hoth?
What if the attempt to free the frozen-in-Carbonitite Han from Jabba the Hutt had failed?

And, most intriguingly, what had George Lucas's original vision looked like?

As in any compilation, some of these stories are better than others - it's also quite easy to spot the similarities between Lucas's original vision and the Prequel trilogy (most noticeably in how Leia is portrayed)!

Better

This prequel turned out much better than the original. The acting and cinematography were spot on and the story unfolded much cleaner. There's plenty of "creep" factor in this one. Not heavy on jump scares but the creatures and effects were pretty cool. Watching the other one will make it so you kind of know what will happen but it doesn't take away from the entertainment value at all. The good news is you don't have to see the original to enjoy this one. It's a good stand alone film. Worth a watch!
