Magical

This is another installment in Kendra's story. Kendra is an immortal witch who has a tendency to get involved in everything. This book is the story of her and her beloved weaved in with classic stories that have new twists.
Alex Flinn has an amazing talent. I love how she changes stories and gives them new life. In this book Kendra's story is important, but it's not always the main focus. She never outshines the other characters. Overall this was just a really great book.

Okay, don't get me wrong. I can see what people see in this series. I don't know what I thought I'd expect considering I generally don't like fantasy, and I definitely don't like Harry Potter. It's just not my jam. In many ways, Akata Witch is very HP, just in Nigeria. In other ways, it's so steeped in African mythology, it's a true breath of fresh air from the normally very European folklore that fantasy so often draws from. It's definitely a book I'd recommend.

I actually didnt think id like this movie and had put off watching it for a bit.but just like the first one was plesently suprised .mix match cast worked well together action and effects good and jokes witch are usually pretty corny in movies like this i thought were funny.except for one monster they all looked real .they didnt need to do it so kinda ruined that part for me but pretty good real special effects other than that.

Lee (2222 KP) rated A Ghost Story (2017) in Movies

Jul 21, 2018

Recently added to Netflix is 2017 movie A Ghost Story, starring Casey Affleck. From A24, the studio responsible for The Witch and Heteditary, so I was very dubious about watching this! A poignantly beautiful tale of life, death, time and grief. With minimal dialogue, it is definitely a very weird film (a 5 minute scene of someone literally just eating pie in silence?!), and many people will just hate it. For me, there was just enough thought provoking and beautifully shot scenes to keep me happy.

David McK (3752 KP) rated I Shall Wear Midnight: (Discworld Novel 38) in Books

Jan 28, 2019

Terry Pratchett's latest Discworld book, this time aimed at a younger audience than his previous "Unseen Academicals", with the return of teen witch Tiffnay Aching and the Nac Mac Feegle (both introduced in "Wee Free Men" and expanded on in "A Hat Full of Sky" and "Wintersmith")

The Nac Mac Feegle seem to have somewhat of a lesser role than previous and, in a departure from his norm, Pratchett re-introduces us to some of the characters from his earlier novels - one in particular.
