Alice (12 KP) rated Godblind (The Godblind Trilogy #1) in Books
Jul 3, 2018
Well well well I'm mightily impressed Mrs Stephens. Mightily impressed. Easily up there on top as one of the best debuts I've read this year. Easily.
Great characters and plot work. A even balance between omg how cute (<i>that</i> chapter and holy shit how EVIL!
Evil being the overruling theme of this book with a great set of bad guys and an even greater set of good guys - let the Dancer's Light be upon you s'all I'm sayin'
Godblind had it's own flair for the dramatic and the quick switching between points of view gave the book it's own edge.
Can I have book 2 now?

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Smokejumper: A Memoir by One of America's Most Select Airborne Firefighters in Books
Jan 12, 2018
Being a smokejumper is a dream of mine like being a storm chaser. At 43 I don't think I will ever jump into a fire so I will have to be satisfied reading about it. This is a well told story that not only tells what it is like to be a smokejumper but also the history of this elite group. I now need to research the Triple Nickels. This book, like any good book, has led to more reading exploration. I highly recommend this book so you too may live another life.

Excellent short story (read in under an hour) telling some of the background to the full Chronicles of the Black Gate series.
While the short story doesn't go into much detail on the world, races, geography etc this doesn't hinder enjoyment as a standalone work, as well as being a nice opener for the series as a whole.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Cursed (2005) in Movies
Feb 21, 2018
This looked to be a sure winner. With a young popular cast, directed by Wes Craven and about werewolves what more could you want. Well quite a bit, it has some good moments but overall the plot is very weak and the SFX not as great as you would expect. It ends up being predictable and a bit camp.

This book is an enlightening read, making you think about subjects or feelings that you might normally find uncomfortable. The general theme is around depression and suicide, but it is handled well. The 4 different character perspectives made the story feel a little thinly spread and may have benefited from being from just one or two perspectives.

A decent quite funny and entertaining rom-com. It's not too rude, raunchy and thankfully not that cheesy either. I wasn't expecting much, and while not being laugh out loud from start to finish it's funny enough to keep you interested to the end. The characters make this film and raise it well above most rom-coms.
