There were some parts of this book where I unfortunately did not feel that. In fact, most of this book was war and action scenes which is cool but personally I thought I needed to breath a bit, to connect the characters more -Which was the case in TFATF series- so that their actions impact me more. The story takes place after the final events and war of book 2 and I don’t wanna spoil that ending but it means there was a huge final war taking place in this book. ![]() ![]() I usually don’t have to think very hard if a book deserves 5 stars like most of the books were in the original quartet and I think this series was close to that. ![]() I feel the whole series has been on the same level which stands somewhere between 4-4.5 stars for me. I also am not saying the first two books were better. I feel by giving it 4 stars I am doing something blasphemous so this is a disclaimer that 4 stars is still a very good rating. Literally all my friends gave this 5 friends aside from a friend who gave it a 4. And if we can be called friend, then we are lucky indeed.” It’s what we do while we are here that counts.

In this sparkling prequel we meet the Aunts from Practical Magic, sisters Frances and Jet and Vincent, their brother. ![]() The Rules of Magic is the long-awaited prequel to Practical Magic, and a New York Times bestseller and Reese Witherspoon's Book Club pick! ![]() Everyone needs a little magic in their lives. ![]() ![]() ![]() ACOTAR, that Feyre and Rhys’ story is over, but we’re getting more books in the series that center around other characters. It was shown in the United Kingdom on BBC Four and BBC Four HD on 4 January 2014, as with the first season, in two episode blocks at 21:00 and 22:00. ![]() ![]() ![]() And I want to ask, do the third and fourth books follow Lara and Aren too, or is there some kind of conclusion regarding them by the end of Traitor Queen (second book), and the other two books follow other characters? kinda like what happened with. So, I’m two thirds into the first book, and I went into goodreads to check something and realised that there are two other books listed after the second in this series, making it four books in total, but I thought the series was just a duology, so, clearly it isn’t anymore. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Fans of Colleen Coble and Susan Sleeman will savor this thrilling standalone.

Since we have such a long history of thinking about this threat and what to do about it, from scientific conferences to Hollywood blockbusters, you might expect that humanity would shift into high gear with a mission to steer AI in a safer direction than out-of-control superintelligence. ![]() A recent survey showed that half of AI researchers give AI at least 10% chance of causing human extinction.
