David McK (3880 KP) rated Valiant (The Lost Fleet, #4) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

The 4th entry in Jack Campbell's (the pen-name of John Hemry) Lost Fleet series, this picks up almost directly from the end of the precious novel (Courageous), where the Alliance fleet - caught far behind enemy lines - was almost trapped and destroyed by the Syndic forces in Lakota.

This novel further develops the relationships between 'Black Jack' Geary and the commander of his flagship, Tanya Desjani, as well as between Geary and co-president Victoria Rione. Starting and finishing with space battles, it also sees the news of the alien intelligence on the far side of Syndic space becoming surhter circulated among the fleet, as well as conspirators within his own fleet stepping up their attacks on Geary.

Excellent educational but still entertaining watch.

I really enjoyed Netflixes new offering of Sex Education it's something I can see appealing to a wide variety of ages, it gets across the issues in relationships and sex without making teenagers cringe and without making {this 30 year old) roll their eyes too. I laughed, I cried, I learnt new things and I would highly recommend it to young teenagers as it does come across very sensible with the world of sex without sort of turning them away as it puts it across in a very entertaining manner.

The only reason it got 9 out of 10 and not 10 is because the series finale upset and I'm stubborn.

My and my other half struggled with that too. It's very confusing. It's as if they couldn't make their mind up so just did a bit of everything haha.

Apparently the director was hugely influenced by John Hughes films like the breakfast club and wanted to get that feeling across hence the 80's feel. It was also designed to have appeal both here and in the USA but was set in the UK.

Pretty confusing though I do agree!

Lyndsey Gollogly (2893 KP) rated Instinctual (Rise of Iliri book 2) in Books

Jan 13, 2020

EVERY MAN WANTS HER. MANY WANT TO KILL HER.

Good luck to them….

In the second beautifully-crafted paranormal romance of this reverse harem epic fantasy series, author Auryn Hadley explores Sal’s gently-morphing relationship to the Black Blades—her comarades-in-arms and lovers ...

I'm just so in love with these books! We are back with Sal and her men. They are dealing with the backlash of coming out as all Iliri and finding the steel. Also figuring out where they stand in personal relationships. Balec brings in other elite teams to help with bringing home the steel but with it comes the race issues against Iliri. This was so good!

This is one of the very few of my top top favourite books! It is the kind that sucks you in and refuses to let you put it down. I love the spin off the traditional fairy tales with such clever changes to them i love figuring out how they link back to them. The relationships berween the characters are complicated and imaginative- i love it. The plot is well thought out and so descriptive,. If you love fantasy, romance, adventure and shouting at the book for the charcters to not do that... then you are in for a treat. You have to give this book i try (You will not regret it!)
