I went into this with high hopes, but was ultimately disappointed. While I did finish The Mark of Ran, I have no desire to jump into book two.
Tolkien meets Harry Potter in the first of this three book series. Reiffen's Choice harkens back to the traditional fantasy tales of old. Fun and entertaining, it's a good read, albeit not entirely original.
Vick's Vultures barely qualifies for two rockets. Confusing writing, flat characters, and marginal storytelling couldn't salvage an otherwise promising premise.
Flat characters never instilled in me a desire to see or care if the crimes were solved. Lord Darcy is a fail for me.
Scalzi has the success and the genre cred to write a real book on writing. This is not that book.
Led me down such a herky-jerky path that the only thing clear to me was that I was not going to continue with the series.
Robin Hobb is one of my favorite authors. So of course I went into Ship of Magic expecting the usual greatness. Unfortunately, Hobb let me down on this one.
Bright starring Will Smith as LAPD officer Daryl Ward is one big, hot mess.
The third time is not the charm for this final movie in the franchise reboot. War for the Planet of the Apes was, unfortunately, a serious letdown in many ways.
