Finished this one yesterday evening.

I'm very glad that Alex didn't full on go darkside and that everyone I cared about survived.

I'm a bit dissatisfied with the ending. I would have loved to hear more about Vari and how everything is in general but all in all I'm ok with how it ended.

Finished this one yesterday evening. :)

Hmmm. I don't know. I don't know. It's hard to watch Alex change to a Dark Mage who doesn't care about killing and who gets killed. :( I get some of his reasoning but still. I still have hope that there is a major plottwist in the last book but it's tiny. :(

I like it. The friendships. The found family. The thought that cats are part magic. ;)

Love Tao and her accepting her friends and her magic and that she does not have to be alone anymore.

I like this.

It's a nice overview of the movies pre- and from Studio Ghibli with short descriptions and explanations about plot, source material, animation style and other things.

Love it. The story is more intriguing than ever and the art? Wow. So, so, so gorgeous! There have been several pages where I just had to stop and stare because the art was so good and powerful.

Finished this one today. :)

As always - I love, love, love the art and the imagination of this. 

Was a bit confused at first because it's been too long since I read part 7 but the story managed to catch me again. :)

I'm very curious how the cats factor into this.

I really like it. It's a silly, quirky, funny Christmas Rom-Com with the Holidays as royal families.

There is some akward phrasing ("Pulses his eyebrows". I, just, what does he do?) but overall it was fun to read.

Loved the little magic things and I need Wren in my life!

I love, love, love it.

The world. The characters. The story. Love it.

I'm happy that the romance didn't take over the plot but I also love that there was romance.

I want a sentient spider plant too!
