Book – ***+ Book Three of Cinda Williams Chima’s Seven Realms series had a strong beginning and middle, but failed to wrap up the series or complicate the plot for more adventures by the end which was filled with more pageantry than plot.

Movie – ***+ Passengers (2016)

Enjoyable interstellar adventure if you focus on the story, characters, and visuals and not on the science. Space is like the Pacific Ocean only bigger—you just don’t run into big things out there, but if you did you’d see them coming from a long way off and scoot around them.…
