Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindlewald

This is the second Fantastic Beasts film.

      This installment goes as well at the first. It immerses you once again in a darker world with magic, but has beautiful creatures in it. It also has some surprising revelations, and twists that make the story even more engrossing, and by the end, their are some big character changes, and for once, I can't wait for the next installment of this film.
     I want to follow Newt and the others in his life to the end of this journey.

Fury Rising by Yasmine Galenorn

I am reading Galernorn's  Sisters of the Moon, or The Otherworld Series, and when I found out about this series, I decided to check it out.

     Galenorn once again creates a world of magic and the mundane beautifully blend into a new world where not only the Fae roam, werewolves and other shifters exist, but Gods and Goddesses from many myths are alive and well.

     And like her Otherworld, the world Kay inhabited came about with its own magical bang. Of course, every good series needs a heroine or hero, and of course a villain of some sort.

     Kay is a Theosian, specifically a Fury. So her life is complicated. She serves the Goddess Hecate, but has a semblance of a normal life, side jobs to keep the rent paid and food on the table.

     As the story progresses, the rollercoaster rides begins, between Kay's past, the world changing threat that looms over them all, and its all balanced with the characters lives as they intersect and life itself throws its own curve balls, good and bad, as the ride continues and by the end, you realize you want to follow these characters and see where life takes them.

     I book that's worth the time to read and a promise of a good series.
