I really enjoy this series, and the sequel series with Piper and Ash, although I would love to know what happens in those five years because I'm pretty sure Clio isn't mentioned in the earlier written but later set series.

I'll have to get the third book in this trilogy to see if it's explained.

A great YA novel
I read this over 10 years ago, remember enjoying it but for some reason never bothered with the other books in the trilogy. So I decided to try again.

This is a fantastic first novel in the trilogy, and a great fantasy story. I love the idea of people having daemons, and the plight of Lyra is intriguing and full of twists and turns. There are some great characters, all well developed and I really found myself caring for some and hating others, as intended. Pullman id a fantastic writer. My only criticisms would be the heavy emphasis on religion, and that the plot does seem a little bit over the top at times. Still can't wait to read the rest!

As good as expected
After growing up on the original trilogy, I was looking forward to returning to the franchise. Coming out of the film I found it a fun filled adventure back into the world of the Men in Black.

However after rewatching the original trilogy I found that the film didn't have the same weirdness that the originals had. I remember watching the first and being terrified (even for being a PG film) where as this new iteration focused more or the comedy between Hemsworth and Thompson than the aliens that made the originals so interesting.

Overall it was a fun filled film that would be worth a watch.

This film drove me to tears at some of the more notable deaths (Leia and Ben Solo) as well as when I thought Chewie was gone and when Han appeared to Kylo to help him throw away the dark side. I think it was a great way to end the trilogy with some twists that I did not see coming. The first 2 films in the latest trilogy made me feel that Rey was a Skywalker and discovering she was really a Palpatine threw me for a loop. Having Luke and Leia appear to her at the end when she was asked her name at the Moisture Farm was the ending that Rey truly deserved to have. Definitely will be watching this several more times.

As if this trilogy all happened within a year! There's so much stuff happened.

Admittedly it took me a while to get into this book since it's been more than a year since I read the second book in the series but once it really got going I devoured it, especially in the last two days.

One bit shocked me. One bit made me cry. One bit involving Jackal surprised me.

It was a really good ending to the trilogy and when I thought they'd killed the bad guy I had to agree with Allison's assessment of <b>"Why won't you die?"</b>. My heart was pounding for a good 80 pages as the showdown drew ever nearer.

A brilliant book.
