In Colin McRae Rally 04 is de actie intenser dan ooit met superieure wegligging, nieuwe kampioenschappen, custom rally varianten, nieuwe single- en multiplayer races en een uniek onderdeel waarbij de speler zelf nieuwe onderdelen kan testen tijdens uitdagingen (challenges) om geavanceerde technologie te bemachtigen. Speciaal voor het PC platform heeft Codemasters het spel uitgerust met volledig nieuwe online en LAN (netwerk) opties waarbij maximaal acht spelers tegelijkertijd met elkaar de strijd aanbinden in een kampioenschap of 'losse' stages. Het is ook mogelijk om in teamverband te spelen met de team challenges. In Colin McRae Rally 04 heeft de speler volledige controle - race in meer dan twintig verschillende rallywagens en neem deel aan de bijbehorende kampioenschappen. De verschillende speelvarianten bestaan uit de 4-wheel drive en 2-wheel drive kampioenschappen (beide kampioenschappen met normaal of gevorderd moeilijkheidsniveau), Rally's, Stages, een Group B kampioenschap met klassieke krachtige rallywagens en (voor de echte professional) een Expert kampioenschap. Dit laatste kampioenschap vergt het uiterste van zowel de wagens als de die-hard rallyfanaat. Colin McRae Rally wordt alom geprezen vanwege ondermeer de beste wegligging in een racegame. Deel 04 gaat nog een stapje verder met sublieme besturing. In vorige delen was de wegligging nog gekoppeld aan stuurhulp waarbij de wagen vanuit een centraal draaipunt reageerde op de stuurbewegingen van de speler. In deel 04 is deze stuurhulp niet meer aanwezig en kan de gamer zelf beleven hoe professionele rallyrijders een wagen besturen. De natuurlijke wegligging in het spel past zich zelfs aan het gevarieerde terrein aan - Colin McRae Rally 04 heeft in totaal 34 verschillende terreinsoorten en om het nog realistischer te maken, kan de speler met 19 verschillende bandentypes rijden! Colin McRae Rally 04 biedt de gamer acht internationale rally-lokaties (Groot Brittannië, Zweden, Amerika. Finland, Australië, Spanje, Griekenland en Japan). Elke lokatie bestaat uit zes rally-stages en een 'shakedown event' (afvalrace). Daarnaast zijn er ook vier 'Super Special stages' in het spel terug te vinden. In totaal kan de speler twintig verschillende wagens besturen, inclusief vierwiel aangedreven wagens zoals de Citroen Xsara, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 7 en de Subaru Impreza. Tweewiel aangedreven wagens zoals de Ford Puma en Fiat Punto zijn ook beschikbaar. Colin McRae Rally 04 introduceert (tijdens kampioenschappen) een nieuw element in het rally games genre: het testen van nieuwe auto-onderdelen om een team te voorzien van geavanceerde technologie. In het spel kan de speler tussentijds nieuwe technologie 'verdienen' in een reeks van individuele mini-games. De tests vinden plaats in verschillende landen en testcentra. Elke lokatie is speciaal gekozen voor het specifieke onderdeel dat de speler test. Dit kan bijvoorbeeld een motor zijn, maar ook banden of schokbrekers. Wanneer de speler een test goed afrond, dan wordt het geteste onderdeel als optie beschikbaar voor de eigen wagen. Hiermee kan de speler de kans op succes aanzienlijk vergroten tijdens een rally-seizoen. Het zijn vaak de kleine dingen die het verschil betekenen. Voor de die-hard racers is er het uitdagende Expert kampioenschap: neem deel aan de moeilijkste stages terwijl de speler alleen gebruik kan maken van het in-car camera-perspectief. Uiteraard schakelt de speler in deze modus handmatig en krijgt hij of zij te maken met de meest realistische schade-instellingen en de snelste tijden om te verslaan. Kenmerken: - Maak een keuze uit twintig verschillende rallywagens en race in acht verschillende game modes waaronder 4-wheel drive, 2-wheel drive, Group B en Expert Championships (zowel in single- als in multiplayer speelbaar). - Nieuwe snelle game engine met verbeterde textures, nieuwe geanimeerde omgevingen en extreem gedetailleerd terrein. Verbeterde replay camera's en nieuwe in-game "bumper camera". - Acht internationale rally locaties (Groot Britannië, Zweden, VS, Finland, Australië, Spanje, Griekenland en Japan), zes rally stages per locatie, Acht eliminatierondes en vier 'Superspeciale stages'. - Onderdelen testen - bemachtig nieuwe technologie door tussentijds verschillende onderdelen te testen. - Groot aantal multiplayer mogelijkheden en een optie om tegen een ghost car te racen. - Creëer een eigen Custom Rally met favoriete of thematische stages. - Volledige set-up en reparatie mogelijkheden en gedetailleerde pre-race stage briefings. - Variërende schade-instellingen: normaal, geavanceerd en expert. Nieuw is ook de 'schade-camera'. Zie na afloop van de race de beschadigingen aan je wagen. - Multiplayer ondersteuning: online en netwerk (LAN).Shipping Notes

Enchanting
Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle.
One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed.
However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience.
Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

An action-packed dark romantasy
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! Queen of Roses is an Arthurian-inspired dark romantasy that is the first book in the Blood of Fae series. The story follows Morgan, the princess of Camelot who is rumored to be part fae. Fueled by prejudiced hatred and a mistrust of fae blood, Morgan’s abusive father strips her of her birthright and hands it to her half-brother, Arthur. Instead of becoming queen, Morgan is commanded to join the temple of the goddesses when she comes of age.
However, Arthur turns into a psychopathic, power-hungry, fae-hating king as he ages. He develops malevolent plans and commands Morgan to find an ancient weapon with legendary power. Although Morgan is wary of Arthur’s intentions, she embraces the opportunity to go on a journey and potentially change her fate.
The story picks up from there and we follow Morgan on her quest to find the ancient relic. It’s full of high stakes adventure, mystery, tension, banter, forced proximity, hidden magic, self discovery, and betrayal. This first installment of the series intricately develops the world building and character development. There’s little romance in this book, but it is evident that it is a slow burn that will continue to develop throughout the remainder of the series.
Overall, I loved the world building, the epic fantasy, Morgan’s journey of self discovery, and all of the twists and turns that set the stage for the future installments. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Arthurian Fae Quest…say less.
Format: Kindle
A fae centered Arthurian tale unlike any I’ve read so far. The author did a great job at descriptive world building, with scenes easily playing out in my minds eye. There was plenty of action, suspense, and even a touch of horror. An enemies to lovers, slow burn romance, a quest, with plot twist and turns aplenty. There was a love triangle, which I’m not usually a fan of but, it played out well in this story line. The FMC, Morgan Pendragon, was so blatantly naïve, yet I typically expect as much in a ‘book one’ of a series, especially one that features a fairly sheltered princess. I was happy to read that in spite of this, she still showed a strong sense of morals, fire, and spine. Now our MMC? Kairos Draven, aka Void’s Edge. Oh, how I’m a sucker for a smoking’ hot grumpy warrior alpha with a witty mouth, and a strong sense of “touch her and die” attitude, so you know who held all my cards. That ending? Just made me swoon all the harder. Now add a battlecat that rivals the size of a horse…and well Ms. Briar Boleyn you have well and truly stolen my heart. I’m excited to see where the story goes from here, and follow along to see more of the characters growth. I went into this story fairly blind, and I think I enjoyed it all the more because of it.
Once the story got going, it had me in an absolute chokehold and it was difficult to put down.

Thank you Netgalley and Briar Boleyn for the ARC!
A camelot/king Arthur retelling with fae. I was hooked by the idea of this book immediately and was eager to jump into this world.
• slow burn
• enemies to lovers
• who did this to you
Morgan Pendragon watched her mother die by her father's hand when she was just eight years old, hiding under the bed. Morgan is believed to have the tainted blood of the fae in her veins and is cast aside so that her fathers illegitimate son, Arthur, can become the king. She's seen his cruel treatment of the fae firsthand, so when he sends her on a journey to find a fae weapon she seizes the opportunity to do more with her life. Along the way, she finds more than she could have imagined.
I don't know a whole lot about King Arthur and Camelot but I had a lot of fun with this story! The plot has some similar tropes to popular romantasy books (From blood and ash) but there's enough originality here that it doesn't feel like I'm reading a copy. I liked how the fae were different in appearance than what is typical in most fantasy books I've read. In this book they have blue hair, violet skin and a wide range of other characteristics. I thought that the world building was easy to follow and I could easily immerse myself into this world. After reading the blurb I kept wondering when she was going to go on the journey to find Excalibur and it doesn't happen until around the 45% mark.
The story is a bit slow at times but starts to pick up once they begin their journey to find Excalibur. The John Wick style Inn was a fun concept that I enjoyed reading about.
There are a lot of similarities to this and FBAA and I would have liked to have it be a little more different, but I'm hoping book two will have the story turn into something of its own. Overall I enjoyed reading this story and I'm looking forward to reading book two especially after that ending.

Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf
•
I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆
We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger!
