Happily Ever After is a novel about many characters featured in The Selection Series. These characters are not the main characters in the main books. Some of these characters are Amberly, Marlee, and Celeste. I loved hearing these characters point of views! My personal favorite part is learning how Queen Amberly and King Clarkson met. There is a lot more behind their marriage than meets the eye.

The Sea of Monsters is a painful sequel to the lightning thief, it is again a bad adaptation of the book as it changes the plot of the story a lot and tries to fix the problems with the first movie. The whole movie feels rushed, and crammed with random details, even if I ignore the book, the movie is mediocre at best.
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief movie is a very bad adaptation to the book, it is actually decent if we ignore the books but even then I find a lot of flaws that ruin the movie. The story of the whole film is decent but the main plot points are drastically changed from the books. It also does not take advantage of all the unexpected twists the books had, they just reveal these twists in a casual way and do not build them up at all.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is a really good movie, it did a good job to adapt the book and the visual effects have improved dramatically. The whole movie had a dark theme and the dementors were executed perfectly, they were creepy and unnerving, the story and its characters are also executed perfectly the ending and the small details in this movie just make it even better.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a good adaptation movie, the visuals of the movie got better and the story of the book is nicely condensed in a way that I feel like I am not missing information from the book. I love the setting of the book, the Weasley house is good and the visuals of the magic in this movie is good too. The monsters look good, the acting is good and the whole movie is mostly loyal to the source material.
