The characters in this children’s book also build on the previous two books. Yet the children’s book is written so deftly that we feel like we are hearing about the habits of a dear friend, rather than some dry scientific information. Frightful is a peregrine falcon, and the main character of the story, so we learn more and more about how falcons breed, raise their young ones, find food, and migrate.

They go searching and meet up with a great number of surprises.Īlthough I’m dying to dig further into the meat of things, it’s really difficult to say much about Alive without spoiling the constant little (and occasionally huge) secrets. There’s another problem, however, beyond the fact that they don’t know who or where or what they are: there’s no food or water in their room.

Cons: Overly reliant on secrets and surprises The entire Red Queen book series is currently available to purchase wherever books are sold, including Amazon (opens in new tab). We could meet the screen versions of Mare, Cal, and Maven very soon. It also has some twists and turns that give it some Game of Thrones elements, so it basically fulfills all your fantasy series needs.ĭespite the Red Queen TV Show only being in the development stage at Peacock, we will likely get a little more news about the series in the upcoming months, especially since Peacock Premium seems to be increasing its original programming, especially in the teen show department, to draw in more paid subscribers. It has its own unique identity that makes it not feel like a repeat of these popular books and movies. However, Red Queen is not a Harry Potter or Hunger Games copy. It’s set in a dystopian world where one group rules over another, there are arena battles, a poor girl who seems like the only hope for her people, a rebellion, a love triangle that involves a friend from childhood, and many other similarities. However, the Red Queen book series is most similar to The Hunger Games movies and books.

I liked that the clues were all available to the reader, and the pacing was satisfying (there is nothing I hate more than when a mystery is unsolvable because the author withholds information). I didn’t remember who the murderer was, and I did figure it out before the end. I hadn’t actually read this one before, although I think I had watched one of the shows I talk about below. The vicarage happens to be kitty corner from Miss Marple’s house, and she uses her observations of the comings and goings as well as information that is reported to her to deduce the murderer and surrounding circumstances. Murder At The Vicarage was published in 1930 and is the story of a local Colonel who is murdered in the vicar’s study.
