Books: My Thoughts on Dark Prince (Dark 1)

Dark Prince

Dark Prince by Christine Feehan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

While I really enjoyed the latter half of this book, the first part had a lot of content I believe could've been excluded. I have to believe that the extra 100 pages that were removed when this book was first published had to have come from the first half of the book. If that is the case, I probably would've enjoyed reading the original published edition more than this edition.

I believe where I initially started to enjoy this one was when we started meeting more of our characters who remain with us through the end of the book. It looks like this series will focus on each of these characters individually, at least for the next few books. While I do feel like we got a lot of information on one other character in this story, we don't know a lot about the others so I'm looking forward to learning more about them.

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
