Wild Country Wild Country by Anne Bishop
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

More like a 4.5

Still really enjoying this series. This book takes place during Etched in Bone, which I thought was interesting. I think this would've been better had it been the first book in the spin off series because of that though.

While I am still really enjoying this series and we do still get to spend time with characters we were introduced to in The Others series, there is still a little something missing for me. I think it is because we aren't spending dedicated time with the characters in the World of the Others series as we did with the characters in the Lakeside Courtyard. Each book has focused on a different main character so far. While the mysteries are still very interesting and the relationships between how the humans and terra indigene are tested, these feel more like standalone novels set in the same world than a series to me. I'm really not complaining because I'm so glad we get more in this world and seeing the different areas of the land is really interesting. I just think that because these books do not follow a main character throughout like the The Others did, that is what is missing for me in this series.

I listened to a good portion of this on audio again. I highly recommend the audiobooks! The narrator is excellent and really brings these characters to life for me.

Once again the wait for the next installment will be hard, but it is always worth it!

Movies: Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan) Live Action Movie Parts 1 & 2

My daughter and I were fortunate enough to be able to catch local showings of the live action movies Shingeki no Kyojin ( Attack on Titan) Part 1 and Part 2 . Having watched and loved the anime, we thought it would be great to see the characters come to life. I was pre-warned by friends however, to not have high expectations going into it. Part 1 was pretty similar to the anime, though there were changes that confused me. Not having read the manga, I'm not sure if those changes were in the manga but I kept an open mind. At the end of Part 1, I was pretty satisfied with how the movie was done. The visual gore was a little over the top for me, but I expected it going in, seeing as I knew what to expect from the story. The action scenes were great, I thought The Colossal was amazing and the casting for Hange was spot on, in my opinion. I think that her performance was probably my favorite of both movies. Then a couple weeks later, we were able to see Part 2. This part, though i

Books: My Thoughts on The Last Battle (Chronicles of Narnia #7)

The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis My rating: 3 of 5 stars I can finally say that I've read this series. I do wish that I read it when I was younger as this series wasn't as enjoyable as I thought it would be for me, reading it as an adult. The twist at the end of this book didn't surprise me too much and I was disappointed to find out about how another character had grown up. I was happy to see past characters towards the end of this book, but that didn't push this book from a like to a love for me. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe will always be my favorite of this series, but I was happy to find The Horse and His Boy, as it is a second favorite of this series. I think overall, I'd give this series three stars and would still recommend people read it if they haven't. View all my reviews
