Reid's amnesia: I didn't like it at all. We literally waited two whole books for him to finally get to the point where he accepted the witches, magic, and himself, after a lifetime of prejudice. It all falls apart in ONE single chapter 🤦‍♀️ There is always something happening in this book: fights, travels, parlay, thieving, scheming. The pace is great and so is the plot. I read this whole book in a day and a half and I just couldn't stop because there was ALWAYS something going on! The last 20% of the book is so intense that I had to take breaks to fully appreciate and understand everything that was happening. My heart was pounding and I think my hands were shaking at one point. The final confrontation between Lou and Morgane was epic, and everything that I hoped for. To elude the scores of witches and throngs of chasseurs at their heels, Lou and Reid need allies. Strong ones. But protection comes at a price, and the group is forced to embark on separate quests to build their forces. As Lou and Reid try to close the widening rift between them, the dastardly Morgane baits them in a lethal game of cat and mouse that threatens to destroy something worth more than any coven. In June 2022, Frake-Waterfield expressed interest in creating a sequel, and stated that he wants to "ramp it up even more and go even crazier and go even more extreme". [41] In November 2022, he announced that a sequel, currently titled Winnie-the-Pooh 2, was in development with him returning as director and writer, on a budget "five times" larger than the previous installment. The sequel is expected to begin filming in late 2023, [42] with an anticipated release date of February 2024. [2] In August 2023, Frake-Waterfield announced that Pooh will use a chainsaw as a weapon in the sequel. [43] [44] [45] That September, Pooh, and Piglet were confirmed to have new designs in teaser images, [46] with the new characters Owl and Tigger also confirmed to appear. [47] Shared universe and other projects [ edit ] I can't believe I'll be saying this looking at how the last book turns out and how the start of this book is heading, but I am actually sad the series has ended. In another world, where the original plan for Serpent and Dove to stay a duology became a reality, the series may easily become one of my favourites.

I’ve managed to survive 2021 without rating a book 1 star UNTIL NOW. So, thank you Shelby Mahurin for taking that away and ruining my year. There wasn’t anything that I enjoyed in this installment. And that’s saying something considering I had no expectation at all going into it. NONE, except that I was ready for the worst. Now, it’s verified. Not even the romance made me feel anything—because, CAN YOU EVEN TELL ME WHERE IT’S AT? I understand that characters needed to show some growth and the world building to expand, but why did the story have to be drawn out THIS much, THIS long. All it did was make me lose my care for everything altogether because I couldn’t find the things that made me fall in love with the first book; regardless that you finally get the ending you’ve been waiting for, and you find closure in this book. Ugh. I’m not disappointed. I’m unreservedly bitter. If there’s anything worse than Covid-19 in the last two years, it’s the last two books in this series. Yes, I said it. No further comment, but this: Serpent & Dove IS a standalone as far as I’m concerned. And may whoever responsible for turning this into a trilogy burn in hell! It’s been real, y’all.

Retrieved 15 August 2023.Though Lou and Reid's relationship issues did start to bother me after a while - even though it really did make sense and I get that they both have things to deal with - I just wanted them to be okay with each other. ((But maybe that's because I want them to be happy so badly.)) There were times I wanted to scream at them: COMMUNICATION IS KEYY GUYS

Speaking of hope, it was definitely a recurring theme in the book. Gods & Monsters is all about the importance of clinging to hope even when you feel like you have nothing to hold on to. How to push through grief and heartbreak to take another step forward, and then another. Lou's ragtag group is quite aware of the odds against them, and the fact that most of their plan ends up being completely ruined, sending everything to hell, does not help, but they hold onto each other and they help each other to continue the journey because they know that this is the right path. a b Ritman, Alex (4 November 2022).

Let me tell you my villain origin story, something that this book series did not even bother to have. I want to classify this series as plastic Fantasy Romance. Yes, plastic Fantasy Romance.They were definitely the stars, sorry. I love their relationship and I need a whole book on it. I never realized how much I needed a book about them until now. I needed more scenes with them in it, because that first kiss was EVERYTHING. I was mildly embarrassed because it was in front of everyone and was growing incredibly passionate, but honestly, I don't even care, because I'd waited since BOOK ONE for them to get together. I like to think I’m a calm reader in the sense that I don’t like, throw a book at the wall. There was a moment in this book where I absolutely threw the book at the wall (it was actually my e-reader and it hit a pillow thank God BUT STILL). There were a lot of moments in this where I just…AH. I screamed.

But the whole point of the film revolves around who the antagonists are. Up until now, Winnie the Pooh was known for his reassuring acceptance of the wider universe around him, so much so that latter-day revisionists had him pegged as a Taoist. He was a creature of the simple life; taking every new day as it came, just happy to be part of a beautiful world. There is, not that it needs to be spelled out, quite the gap between that mindset and the mindset of a hideous sentient pig-man who appears to be sexually aroused by graphic violence. Also, that epilogue killed me. It was so bittersweet and sad, yet so uplifting and hopeful. I almost started crying, partially because of the book and partially for other reasons, but still, it made me emotional. You cannot say that in French, whether dialect your are speaking, it does not work. «Voir» (to see) is the infinite form. For each pronoun, the conjugated form is different that the infinitive. In the third verb group, the singular first person's must end with an "s". The "r" for <> must be switched for an "s".

Now, those who read the first book – Serpent & Dove – know where things were left off with the characters. Well, none o
