![]() Plus, any fans who had watched Star Wars Rebels already had an idea of what was in store for Rex and Ahsoka in the Star Wars timeline, so it wasn’t the end of their story even if it was the end of The Clone Wars. The finale wasn’t an altogether happy ending, as it took place after Order 66 with Ahsoka on the run and the Empire in control, but it ended on a sense of hope for the future. The deliberate timing of The Clone Wars’ seventh and final season meant that the finale released on Star Wars Day in 2020, but the coincidental timing meant that the final season of Clone Wars was releasing in early months of the COVID pandemic lockdown. To me and to so many fans, Star Wars means hope, Ahsoka means hope, and leave it to Star Wars: The Clone Wars to provide that hope in the middle of honestly some of the darkest times. Everyone needed some light in the darkness. ![]() ![]() Everyone needed something to look forward to. At first it was really disappointing, but then I realized the timing was perfect, because this was right in the beginning of COVID, and everyone needed hope. We had planned fan screenings and press events and premieres and none of it got to happen because of COVID. It's funny because we had planned so many things for the final season of Clone Wars. And it only gets better, honestly, in my mind, the more times I watch it, and the more I get to talk with fans about it and interact about it. I think the Siege of Mandalore – the finale of Clone Wars – is just incredible. ![]()

Luke Pearson's Hilda series is such a joy to follow. I can't wait to pick up another one in the series. I felt like all the panels were super easy to read and understand, and I really enjoyed the whole thing. I loved all the pops of colour (particularly the blue hair of Hilda) and the layouts are brilliantly done. Hilda is unsure about the city at first, but as she goes out and explores she meets some strange friends and has a new adventure with them. This story follows young Hilda as she and her mother move to a city rather than the great mountainous outdoors she is used to. I have to say this really was a fun little read! ![]() I didn't even know this was a series of graphic novels, but I am so glad that there are others out, becuase I definitely want to get them! This one is the third on in the series, but you can definitely start by reading this one as it seems like one entire adventure and each book is focused on another adventure. This book is fabulous and it's my first experience reading a book in the Hilda series. * I was sent this for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review * ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Among many vignettes, there are the RAF's legendary raid on the Ruhr dams, the horrors of Arctic convoys, desert tank combat, jungle clashes. ![]() The book ranges across a vast canvas, from the agony of Poland amid the September 1939 Nazi invasion, to the 1943 Bengal famine, in which at least a million people died under British rule- and British neglect. He suggests that the Royal Navy and US Navy were their countries' outstanding fighting services, while the industrial contribution of the United States was much more important to allied victory than that of the US Army. He argues that, while Hitler's army often fought its battles brilliantly well, the Nazis conducted their war effort with 'stunning incompetence'. The author emphasises the Russian front, where more than 90% of all German soldiers who perished met their fate. Reflecting Max Hastings's thirty-five years of research on World War II, All Hell Let Loose describes the course of events, but focuses chiefly upon human experience, which varied immensely from campaign to campaign, continent to continent. A book which shows the impact of war upon hundreds of millions of people around the world- soldiers, sailors and airmen housewives, farm workers and children. A magisterial history of the greatest and most terrible event in history, from one of the finest historians of the Second World War. ![]() |
