This was a really cute novel. I really enjoyed reading it. It was predictable but that is to be expected when a novel is based off of a fairy tale. I found myself engrossed in this novel. It was a nice escape from reality. I will definitely look into reading more novels by this author. The writing was spectacular, and it was very imaginative.

It's A Book!
If read on it's own without ever watching or knowing about the series, it's a beautiful tale of teen anguish, truth, and reality surrounding a topic that deserves more attention.
  
I do have some issues with the story line -in both this and the first book, most especially with the rather poor fleshing of the villains. However, these books are really well-written and have a great flow which kept me turning the pages. They make for an enjoyable, easy read and provided a much appreciated break from reality. Thumbs up and on the next one.

Blackbird doesn't tend to be my normal type of story that I like, but I'm glad I gave it a try. I did like it. It has to do with wizardry and otherworld type of things, but it was explained well. The art is also beautiful and colorful. It's a fun escape from reality, but it's not for younger readers because of the language and some situations.

Unique, loved it.
I absolutely loved this movie. The movie kept me engaged because I just couldn't figure out what was going on. I was left with so many questions by the end which I personally enjoyed since the mystery gave it a much more eerie reality.

Hay. With the country on lockdown to beat the virus, are people being drawn to, or avoiding any virus/ zombie/ pandemic shows and movies?

Can not get enough, bring on the 28 Days Later, The Walking Dead, anything apocalyptic!
No thanks, reality is scary enough, let me at some easy watching full of healthy people.
Not fussed either way, could take or leave the pandemic based tv.
