Blood of Elves (Mini-Review)

Blood of Elves is the first novel in Andrej Sapkowski's Witcher series. Without a ruler, there is a political struggle to decide who will rule Cintra. Whoever is crowned king must have Princess Cirilla as his bride or else no one will accept his rule. It isn't enough that Ciri is an important political figure, she is also of great interest among those who specialize in magic. It is Geralt of Rivia's duty to protect the princess, but that's easier said than done.

Dune (Mini-Review)

Dune Part 1 is the latest adaptation of Dune by Frank Herbert. A vast political conspiracy haunts House Atreides as they assume stewardship of Arrakis. House Harkonnen prepares to attack House Atreides so they can reclaim control of Arrakis and the Emperor doesn't interfere as he wants both Houses to weaken each other.

It was directed by Denis Villeneuve. It stars Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, and Josh Brolin.

The Visitor (Mini-Review)

The Visitor by Chris Grine is an adaptation of the second Animorphs book by K.A.Applegate. The Animorphs continue to fight against the Yeerks while knowing hardly anything about the invading aliens. Their idea to learn more is to observe Chapman to see if he can give them any more leads. But to do that Rachel must face the true horror of what the Yeerks are doing.

I tend to have Mini-Reviews be spoiler free. But as this is an adaptation, I am not going to hold onto that rule like usual. So if you don't want spoilers for the graphic novel adaptation or the original book, I suggest you read those first before continuing.

Everyone has wanted their favorite book to be real, if only for a moment. Everyone has wished to meet their favorite characters, if only for a day.
