#1 Hot Read Far Far Away By Tom McNeal

This Week #1 Hot Read is Far Far Away By Tom McNeal this  MAY CONTAIN A MINER SPOILER

A teenage boy shares an extraordinary relationship with a ghost and slowly develops a special friendship with a girl in his class. The two teens become one another's confidantes and partners-in-crime. When the bank threatens to evict the boy and his widower father for lack of payment, the girl and the boy try to figure out a way to save the house. What becomes a noble goal turns into a modern-day fairy tale in Tom McNeal's whimsical, charming Far Far Away aimed at middle-grade readers.

Jeremy Johnson Johnson and his father live in Never Better, a place representing typical American small-town life. Everyone knows everything about everyone, and everyone takes a keen interest in the business of others. So the fact that Jeremy can keep a big secret represents an amazing feat. No one knows that Jeremy can hear the voice of long-dead Jacob Grimm of the Brothers Grimm.

Jacob narrates the story in first person and slowly reveals how he traversed the world from Germany after his death looking for his brother's spirit. Jacob travels for decades asking other spirits about Wilhelm, and eventually he meets one that says he has heard of a special boy. A boy who believes in fairy tales and who lives in a small town--a village--that "can be seen only from the corner of the eye." A boy who can hear those who exist in the spirit world. But the Finder of Occasions also lives in this town and will eventually harm the boy if no one can stop him. Jacob decides to help this boy; maybe helping the boy will somehow lead him to other spirits that can lead him to Wilhelm.

He becomes Jeremy's friend and tutor but when Ginger Boultinghouse starts showing an interest in Jeremy, Jacob becomes skeptical. An innocent prank turns into big news, solidifying Jacob's suspicion. Ginger, he surmises, can't bring anything positive to Jeremy's life. Despite Jacob's misgivings, however, Ginger proves herself as a true friend to Jeremy and even tries to help him raise enough money to pay the bank for his home.

Their friendship doesn't come without its challenges, however. Given Jeremy's status as somewhat of an outcast, people begin taunting Ginger too--all except the town baker, Swedish immigrant Sten Blix. Jeremy and Ginger begin helping Sten in his bakery to pay off a debt. But when the work at the bakery turns into something beyond their imaginations, Jeremy and Ginger--and Jacob--learn the true value and endurance of friendship.

Given that he has cast as one of his protagonists a master of fairy tales, author McNeal has paid due homage to the Brothers Grimm. Readers get cues that the story occurs in the present day by mention of things like Grape Nuts, and yet McNeal has dispensed with modern conveniences like cell phones and the Internet to add to the fanciful quality of the book. Experts say that Disney's adaptations of the fairy tales for its films show audiences a highly sanitized version of the stories the Brothers Grimm wrote, and McNeal follows suit. The tension and drama in Far Far Away will keep readers up late into the night by matching the pace of any thriller currently on the bestseller lists, and yet McNeal never forgets that he is sharing with his readers a fairy tale in its own right.

I highly recommend Far Far Away for anyone in its intended age group and older. Younger readers might get scared at certain points in the book, but readers in the middle grade audience and adults will definitely enjoy it.Click here to read more: barnesandnoble.com/w/far-far-away-tom-mcneal

#1 Hot Read An Abundance of Katherines By John Green

This week #1 Hot Read Is a nerd fighter book but you don't have to be a nerd fighter to read the book because this book dose not have anything to do with nerdy stuff and these review is of curtsey of Jene.These MAY  
CONTAIN A MINER SPOILER.If you had the opportunity to devise a theorem that could correctly predict the outcome of a romantic relationship, would you do it? If it worked, would you use it? Can it even be done? This is the problem plaguing Colin Singleton, recent high school graduate, nearly-former child prodigy, hopeful genius. Colin, you see, has a significant problem. 

 He falls in love quite easily, which in and of itself isn't such a bad thing. The fact that all of his loves, nineteen of them to be exact, have been named Katherine can even be explained away by some form of twisted scientific method. What can't be explained, though, is why Colin has been dumped by all nineteen of those Katherines. When he's dumped by the love of his life, Katherine XIX, he finds himself in a bad place. 

 He can no longer call himself a child prodigy, since he's graduated from high school. He's not a genius, because he's never come up with anything that will change the world. There's an empty place inside of him where his latest Katherine's love used to live, and he doesn't know what to do with himself. Until Hassan Harbish (Muslim, but not a terrorist) devises a way to get Colin out of his funk--a road trip. 

With no destination in mind, the two set off in The Hearse, Colin's car, and go where the road leads them. Where it leads them is a small town called Gutshot, Tennessee, where Colin gets the urge to see the supposed grave of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. It's also where the two meet Lindsey Lee Wells and her mother, Hollis. Not to mention where they get to live in a giant Pepto Bismol-pink house on a hill, interview employees of a factory that makes tampon strings, and eat Monster Thickburgers at the local Hardees. 

 It's also the place where Colin decides to finish the Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability. Assign numerical value to different variables, plot it on a graph, and you'll be able to predict how long a relationship will last--and who will be the dumper, and who will be the dumpee. Except Colin forgot some pertinent information, like chance, and distorted memories, and the fact that love is never predictable. 

As Colin and Hassan learn a few things about life in the small town of Gutshot, we get to follow their journey of learning to grow up, to make a name for yourself, and how to matter as a person. I loved AN ABUNDANCE OF KATHERINES, even more than Mr. Green's previous book, LOOKING FOR ALASKA. That book won the prestigious Michael L. Printz award, and I won't be surprised if this book is nominated, as well. This story is funny, poignant, and informative. 

For example, if I hadn't read AN ABUNDANCE OF KATHERINES I would never have known that: 1) Fetor hepaticus is a symptom of late-stage liver failure where your breath literally smells like a rotting corpse. 2) The junior senator from New Hampshire in 1873 was Bainbridge Wadleigh. 3) There is absolutely no scientific proof that drinking eight glasses of water a day will improve your health. 4) Dingleberries can be anagrammed into see inbred girl lie breeds grin leering debris greed be nil, sir be idle re. rings ringside rebel and residing rebel. 5) Nikola Tesla did a lot for electricity before Thomas Edison came along and stole some of his ideas, and he also loved pigeons. 6) I still suck at math. Order this book today. It's great, you'll love it, and you'll actually learn stuff. Three for the price of one!You can check it out here: Amazon.com/An Abundance of Katherines

#1 Hot Reads The Book of Blood and Shadow By Robin Wasserman

I am going to admit right from the start that I am never going to be able to give this book enough justice in this review, because it was just that spectacular. The Book of Blood and Shadow BLEW me away from start to finish. It had so many good things going for it: descriptive settings, fully developed characters, a mystery that ceaselessly twisted and turned, and smart, talented writing that puts nearly any other book to shame.

WARNING THIS MAY CONTAIN A MINER SPIOLER.One of the things I loved about this book was how it was slow building. Normally, when a book is slow to start, I become a little put off, but Robin Wasserman made it work perfectly with the story, because not only did she take that time to truly build the characters up, but also even in the beginning the mystery was being strung together, the reader nor the characters just didn't realize it yet. This leads me to the plot.

The plot in this was kick-a##, no lie. It contained so many twists and turns and surprises that I had no idea where the book was going to end, which made me love it even more. I especially enjoyed how well developed everything was. From the mystery behind the book to the letters Nora translated to the romance she had with Max to the friendship she had with Eli, everything was just perfect to the point where I do not even want to talk about any specific point; because this is one you book you just need to experience on your own. Trust me.

The characters in this were another high point. Nora managed to win me over from the start. She was smart and quiet, yet she was daring and relentless. I loved how dedicated she was to her work with the letters as well as to her friends. Best of all, I loved how seemingly ordinary she appeared throughout, because it truly allowed me to sink even more into the story. In addition, to her character a variety of other ones were introduced a well: Chris, Eli, Max, and Adriane. The former two of the four I loved to pieces. 

Chris was oblivious in ways that I will not mention, and while they made me angry at times, I still adored his character. Eli was wild to tell the truth. I never knew where his character was going, but I did know one thing: he adored Nora. In addition, it did not hurt that him and Nora had great chemistry as well as tension. Max and Adriane, however, where characters I wavered between liking and not liking. They were secretive and always manipulative, but they still managed to bring a lot to the book.

Lastly, I have to say: Robin Wasserman is an INCREDIBLE author! Prior to this, I have never had the chance of reading anything by her, but boy, if her other books are anything like this one, I need to read them ASAP. I loved how descriptive her writing as, and how it managed to pull me into the settings as well as the characters heads. I especially adored how everything in this book was necessary. They were no fill even with the 400 plus pages, which was just awesome, in my opinion.

The only aspect I did not like about the book was the ending, but it was selfish on my part, because I only didn't like it because I wanted more. However, from the ending, I have a small feeling there will be more. Hopefully book #2 is on its way.

Brilliant as well as well written, The Book of Blood and Shadow was truly magnificent. It's one book I can't suggest highly enough, and come its release, I'll definitely be talking it up at every chance I get.Click here to now more :Book-Blood-Shadow-Robin-Wasserman/

Huawei Ascend P6: Huawei's new, super-skinny smartphone

Earlier this year, Huawei impressed us with its super-skinny Ascend P2, but now the up-and-coming Chinese firm is looking to wow us a second time with the Ascend P6, a similar Android smartphone with a few hardware tweaks. 

Huawei is fond of crafting creepily thin phones, and the P6 is no exception, measuring a slender 6.18 millimeters (0.24-inch) thick. The aluminium edges are very reminiscent of the iPhone, but the bottom of the phone is rounded, giving the P6 a tiny bit of original flair. 

Like the P2, the P6 sports a 4.7-inch 720p display, and plays host to a quad-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz. There's an 8-megapixel camera glued to its rump, while unusually, the front-facing snapper is a 5-megapixel affair, making the P6 ideal for Skype calls or carefully-posed sexy selfies.
Inside you'll find a 1.5GHz quad-core chip powering the P6, backed up by a hearty 2GB of RAM. There's 8GB of on-board storage, which you can beef up using a microSD card if you need more capacity.
The battery is a 2,000mAh unit, which is smaller than the P2's 2,420mAh battery. Fingers crossed that doesn't see the P6 running out of juice halfway through the day.

Hands-on with the Ascend P6

I've already wrapped my mitts around the P6's aluminium frame, and can report that the phone makes a good first impression, especially in terms of build quality -- I didn't notice any creaking when manhandling the phone, and it feels very sturdy. 

The 720p display looks sharp, and I was impressed at the clarity and colour when playing back some HD video. Similarly crisp is that front-facing 5-megapixel camera, an unusual feature that will satisfy the few of you out there who regularly make video calls from your smart phone.

Such a stud

Bizarrely, the P6's headphone socket is obscured by a metal stud. When you remove the cap you'll find it conceals a tiny metal spike, which looks a lot like a concealed poison dart, but in fact is used to pop out the SIM and microSD cards on the other side of the phone's chassis. 


The placement of the headphone socket itself is odd, too, nestled onto the left side of the phone, instead of the top or bottom. That means your headphone cable will poke out the side, potentially taking up more room in your pocket or handbag, and getting in the way of your hands while you're trying to use the phone.

It's been Emotional

The P6 is powered by Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, though Huawei has liberally slathered its own Emotion interface over the top. The Emotion UI brings a host of quirky, optional visual themes that help to keep the interface feeling fresh, though unusually there's no app tray, so all your apps live on the phone's homescreen a la iPhone.

That's no disaster, but you will need to keep your apps carefully organised or they could become hard to track down in a hurry.
Unlike the P2, the P6 doesn't have any 4G capability, so you'll need to make do with boring old 3G for your downloads and Web browsing. That could save you a bit of battery life, but is unlikely to satisfy speed freaks who crave lightning-fast downloads. 

All in all, the Ascend P6 feels like a decent Android smartphone that appears to offer equally decent hardware and a snazzy design. The Emotion UI, and precisely how annoying that headphone socket placement proves to be will be critical, and we'll examine them closely in our full review. Stay tuned, and let me know what you think in the comments below.

A familiar MacBook Air, but with an all-day battery

The good: New Intel fourth-gen CPUs help the updated MacBook Air achieve amazing battery life. The multitouch touch pad is still the industry's best, and even better, the 13-inch MacBook Air now starts at $100 less than the previous model.

The bad: Newer features such as touch screens or higher-resolution displays are still missing. The ultrabook competition is catching up, design-wise.

The bottom line: Apple keeps the latest MacBook Air updates on the inside, but greatly improved battery life and a less-expensive starting price make up for a lack of flashy design changes.

It may be a case of "the more things change, the more they stay the same."

The new 2013 versions of both the 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air look very familiar indeed, as these slim systems have hardly changed at all physically over the past few generations.
The Air was the only Apple laptop line to get a June 2013 update at Apple's WWDC conference. At first glance, it looks like a relatively minor set of changes, with the primary selling point being a move to Intel's new fourth-generation Core i-series CPUs, also known by the code-name Haswell. There is, however, one very important difference in the new models, and one that's especially noteworthy if you spend a lot of time on the road and away from your power adapter.
We've previously tested Haswell chips in a few laptops and been impressed with both the performance and battery life gains (to be realistic, the latter is much more important for consumers). If you add Haswell to Apple's already-stellar battery life reputation, you get a system, in the 13-inch Air, that Apple claims will run for up to 12 hours, and in our tests (spoiler alert) ran even longer. 

Having a Haswell-generation CPU also gives you Intel's improved HD5000 graphics, which promises improved game performance over last year's HD4000 graphics (itself an improvement over the preceding HD3000, and so on). It's still not anything like having a discrete GPU, as in the 15-inch Retina Pro, but with game services such as Steam and EA's Origin now being Mac-compatible, it may make some small inroads for OS X gaming.
Also new is 802.11ac Wi-Fi, a new standard that will eventually be found in wireless routers, as well as Apple's new AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule hardware. If you have a 802.11n router, which is a much more likely scenario, this may not help you, but it's a nice piece of future-proofing. Apple also says the SSD storage included in the Air laptops is now faster, although I think bumping the base $999 11-inch model up to a full 128GB of SSD storage (from the paltry 64GB previously sold at that same price) is a much more important development. 

It's easy to say that this new version of the 13-inch MacBook Air is a modest step forward, with no physical changes to the exterior, and still no higher-res display, touch screen, or HDMI port. The battery life is a very big deal, however, and when you couple that with a $100 price cut on the base model, down to $1,099, the 13-inch MacBook Air is, despite not being the newest design on the block, still one of the most universally useful laptops you can buy.

	MacBook Air 13-inch (June 2013)	MacBook Air 11-inch (June 2013)	Sony Vaio Pro 13

Design and features
The MacBook Air keeps the same external look as the previous couple of generations, a look that still rivals the newest ultrabooks, although some new systems, such as Sony's Vaio Pro line, are getting thinner and lighter without sacrificing much in the way of productivity.
Both the 11-inch and 13-inch versions of the MacBook Air still have the same thickness, ranging from 0.11-inch to 0.68-inch. Spread over the larger footprint of the 13-inch chassis, the 13-inch version still feels satisfyingly thin.

As with the previous version, the rigid aluminum construction makes the Air feel sturdy enough to just throw it in a bag and carry along with you without a protective case or sleeve, and it's interesting to contrast the aluminum unibody construction here with the lighter carbon fiber in the aforementioned Vaio Pro. I'd still trust the Air and its unyielding lid more in a throw-in-your-luggage field test.
The backlit keyboard and trackpad are the same as on the previous models, and the trackpad especially remains the standard by which all others are judged. Many other laptop makers have moved to larger clickpad-style touch pads, but we have yet to find a touch pad that comes close to this for multitouch gestures. The pad is again hinged at the top, allowing the entire pad to click down, and we strongly suggest going into the Preferences menu and turning on all of the tapping options for further ease of use. 

It will be interesting to see how Apple's user interfaces develop in the face of both Windows 8, which tries (not terribly successfully) to reinvent the entire concept of working with a computer OS, and the upcoming OS X Mavericks update. For now, flicking around with three-and-four-finger gestures on the MacBook touch pad remains the most seamless way to swap between windows and applications, at least in my experience.
Unlike the 11-inch MacBook Air, the 13-inch screen is still not a 16:9 display. The screen area also lacks the edge-to-edge glass over a black bezel found in the MacBook Pro; instead the screen is, as in previous years, surrounded by a thick silver bezel.
On the positive side, the native resolution of the display is 1,440x900, which is a better than the 1,366x768 you find in many 13-inch laptops, although even midpriced models are quickly switching over to 1,600x900 or even 1,920x1,080. Of course the Retina Pro models, along with a handful of laptops from Toshiba, HP, and Dell, are experimenting with even higher-than-HD resolutions.
While the Air screen isn't flat matte, it's also not terribly reflective, which is a step up from the "mirror image" effect you get on some laptop screens.

	Apple MacBook Air (13-inch, June 2013)
Video	DisplayPort/Thunderbolt
Audio	Stereo speakers, headphone jack
Data	2 USB 3.0, SD card reader
Networking	802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
Optical drive	None

 
Connections, performance, and battery
The ports and connections remain unchanged on this version of the MacBook Air. That gives you two USB 3.0 ports and a Thunderbolt port to play with, with the latter used for both external accessory and video connectivity. The faster 802.11ac Wi-Fi will play nice with Apple's own upcoming new AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule hardware, but I suspect you're still working off an 802.11n router. There's more on what 802.11ac means for you here. 

The base configuration for the 13-inch Air now costs $1,099, versus $1,199 previously. Most of the system is unchanged, with the main difference being the new Haswell-generation Intel processor and platform. Interestingly, last year's base model CPU was a 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5, while the newer Haswell version is a 1.3GHz Intel Core i5-4250U. The step-up $1,299 configuration keeps the same CPU as the $1,099 one, but doubles the SSD to 256GB.

Apple Looks Set To Launch A Larger iPhone, And Cheaper Multicoloured Models

The Internet is constantly buzzing with rumours regarding Apple and what they have coming out next. And here are some more of those rumours.

According to Reuters, and their knowledgable sources, the iPhones could see screen sizes of 4,7 inches (approximately 10 centimeters) and 5,7 inches (nearly 13 centimeters). There are also the persistent talks of a cheaper iPhone that would retail for R997 and also be availbale in an array of colours.


These rumours are supposedly “under discussion”, so at this point it is anybody’s guess as to whether they will make it to the market or not. The colour palette would certainly be a different move for Apple who are known to have limited colour options.

 The screen size ranges would also be a departure from the company’s current 3,5 inch (about 7,6 centimeters) screen for the iPhone 4S and 4 inche (a little over 10 centimeters) screen for the iPhone 5. But these changes have not been confirmed.

A source told Reuters, “The company is constantly changing product specifications almost to the final moment.” Until Apple launches their next iPhone, these changes are just guesses.

Lauren Conrad Launches Kohl's Bedding Collection!

It's no surprise that after many (many!) successful clothing lines with Kohl's that Lauren Conrad has officially decided to start expanding her empire outside of fashion--into interior design! This morning, she announced on her blog that she JUST launched her first-ever bedding collection with the brand, which includes everything from sheets to duvets to decorative pillows. 

The former Hills girls said, "Bedding is new territory for me as a designer, and I am so pleased with how my first collection turned out. I love decorating my home, so this was a very natural next step. Like my clothing line with Kohl’s, the collection is classic and feminine. 

I looked to details like ruffles, bows, and floral prints to make this collection a reflection of my ladylike aesthetic. My hope was to take 'beauty rest' to a 
 whole new level." Heh, we love a good ol' play on words, LC.

The pieces in her collection (which are fully shoppable on Kohls.com right this second!) range from $24.99 to $299.99, and feature incredibly girly bedroom staples like a floral comforter (above), dainty patterned sheets, pillows adorned with giant bows, and a ruffle knit throw. Honestly, we kind of LOVE her whole line, especially because it reflects the same soft and feminine themes from her summer clothing collection.

MTV said "In fact, we could totally see her expanding her design knowledge into the kitchen, bathroom, and, well, EVERYWHERE, because dang, between the clothing, crafts series and bedding, we've got the next Martha Stewart on our hands"Do you agree.We think of what we've seen of the collection so far is great. But tell us, do you like Lauren Conrad's debut interior design collection? Let us know in the comments below!

Now after holding things together for just short of two weeks, the group has decided to split up. Their faithful leader Niko is taking part of the group and heading for Denver International Airport in hopes of finding family members and arriving in time to participate in the evacuation program. Dean, who has bravely written an account of their adventure so far, decides it is best to remain behind with Astrid, Chloe, and the McKinley twins. Since Dean, Astrid, and Chloe have blood type O which causes them to react violently if exposed to the compound, they hope by staying behind, the rest of the group will have a better chance of reaching the evacuation site safely.

Note to Self By Alina Simone Review

Note to Self
By: Alina Simone

A goofy, sweet coming-of-age story that captures life among all the strange trash in the modern world.

Reading Alina Simone’s novel Note to Self sometimes feels like browsing a catalog of the strange trash in this modern world. 

Simone’s funny protagonist, Anna, is suspicious, jumpy, and self-critical. She thinks she’ll get fired from her office job for time theft, fixates on Craigslist ads for fetish parties, and parrots life-coach jargon about goals and wishes. A period of unemployment throws her into a tailspin, so she jumps into a cultish art collective under the impression that it will give meaning to her life. 

Simone is a talented chronicler of all the crap that narcissists think is precious metal. 
She notices the absurdity in spam emails with lines like “tiny bubbles of discontent surround me because I feel as lonely as a shark in the deep blue ocean.” Anna is a case study in focus—how we lose it, how we regain it, how we lose it again—and through her, Simone explores 20-something narcissism. 

Note to Self is goofy, sweet, and all the things you want in a coming-of-age story. There’s redemption in all this quotidian depravity.

Blind Spot by Laura Ellen Review

Release Date: October 23, 2012
Publisher: Harcourt Children's Books

There’s none so blind as they that won’t see.  Seventeen-year-old Tricia Farni’s body floated to the surface of Alaska’s Birch River six months after the night she disappeared. The night Roz Hart had a fight with her. The night Roz can’t remember. Roz, who struggles with macular degeneration, is used to assembling fragments to make sense of the world around her. But this time it’s her memory that needs piecing together—to clear her name . . . to find a murderer.  - Goodreads.com


This review may contain a "mild" spoiler.  Roz was, to me, a likeable character, because I felt she was pretty three dimensional.  She's got flaws, she makes bad choices, exhibits some bad attitudes, but that's life, people.  That's the nature of being a person, and a teen person besides.  All of that just made her more real to me.  I actually kind of admired how well she has been able to move through life, coping with her eye issue, and maintaining the fact that she does not have a disability.  Did anyone else just want to strangle that teacher for the way he treated her???

There are two guys in this book, and I have to admit I knew from the start that she was NOT going to end up with the obvious choice.  I didn't like him from the outset.  He came across, at the very beginning, as a bit too perfect, and it didn't take long before my skepticism just became too much to ignore.  I just had a feeling htere was more to it than that.

I loved the suspense in this story, and really loved the "whodunit" aspect.  I love mysteries like that, and I have to hand it to the author...  she tricked me twice!  I am almost always able to figure out who the killer is in books, and I thought I knew who it was and found out otherwise.  Then I found a new target and just KNEW I knew who it was, and then I was wrong again.  So bravo to the author there.  She took me for a complete ride and I was really impressed with how she was able to keep me from figuring it out.  The mystery was my favorite part to the story.

The romance was nothing earth-shaking for me.  To be honest, it was the last thing I was thinking about.  I was more interested in the suspense and mystery.  The ending left a little to be desired for me, as I really like stories to be wrapped up a little neater than this one was, but on the whole, I enjoyed the book and thought the author did a really good job with it.

Cartoon Network's Fusion Fall Heroes Game Review - Tech & Games

So I suppose most of you have heard about Cartoon Network's newest FusionFall game "FusionFall Heroes". Well I've been playing the game with my little brother and I've realized some flaws and some perks to the game, so I've decided to list them below.

Perks:

#1. Faster Loading

While it isn't the fastest loading game in the world it loads much faster than the original FusionFall game which is good for people with slower computers or who don't have that much time to wait.

#2. Easier Ways To Earn

   

Although some might not agree with this, personally I find it easier and faster to earn spending money in the game. There are lots of ways to find money, like bonus levels, and treasure chests, though these bonus levels usually appear during the team version of the game which means more sharing.

Gameplay  

Flaws:

#1. Game Freezing

Game freezing appears less often than the original game I have noticed what I guess you could a glitch. During levels, sometimes  the green arrow that tells you the new level has begun and leads you to the "monsters", its points to somewhere you can't go forcing you to restart the game. Even if you start the game again it will sometimes repeat making you reload the game.

#2. Characters

Another thing I've noticed is that you have a limited selection of characters, and you can't personalize the characters as much as I would personally like to.

Character Selection

#3. Groups

When you join a party it means you're joining a group. The flaw to this is sometimes when you start the game with your group some of them or all might leave, forcing you to leave also or continue the party version all by yourself.

Overall:

I think it's a game worth playing. It has very good graphics, lots of adventure, and overall is really fun to play. If you want to try out this game CLICK HERE.
