ok guys i dont wanna be a hater but im gonna be 100% honest i didnt rlly like the nimona movie 😭 I MEAN IT WAS FUN. it was nice. but i feel like it was missing everything that made me like the original graphic novel and honestly by the last like 30 minutes i was kind of just waiting for it to be over so i could read the book again 😭 NO HATE TO ANYONE WHO RLLY LIKED IT believe me when i say i dont think it is bad or anything. but i feel like just sooooo much was changed that it didnt feel like nimona at all to me. idk how to explain it, im sure once i reread the book i’ll be able to put it into words since the original will be more fresh in my mind. i think it was good but as someone who was literally obsessed w the og graphic novel it was honestly kinda disappointing. but i dont rlly care honestly its still rlly cool it got a movie!!
but in my mind at least it proves that some things dont need to be made into a movie. ppl act like movies are the best form a piece of media can take and if something gets made into a movie then that’d be the peak form of it. but i honestly think nimona works wayyyyyy better in its original graphic novel form. most of the early stuff is way more slice of life lowkey stuff that lets you get attached to ballister and nimona as characters and get invested in their relationship w each other, BEFORE all the angsty final act stuff happens. also there honestly was just a ton of stuff that felt to me like it worked better in the original, like jousting tournament thing instead of the knighting ceremony, nimona being captured and being forced to turn into her “true” form rather than this new version with it just sort of happening bcuz of Emotions, etc. also the movie suffered from a lot of pacing and tone issues imo but the former i think is just from that lack of the slow buildup of their friendship, and the latter is something that i think just worked better in the book. idk again I’LL BE ABLE TO SAY THIS STUFF MORE CONCRETELY WHEN I ACTUALLY REREAD THE BOOK but i dont remember there being so much jokes and goofy shit DURING serious scenes. like iirc in the original during serious scenes it was SERIOUS. but in the movie theres so many unnecessary unfunny jokes and stuff. idk IDK i probably just had too high expectations idk. anyways

Stupidest fucking shit is teaching yourself the value of art and then having to suffer the consequences (recognise that sometimes assigned reading is actually good books)

It's been a couple of hours since I finished Final Offer and DAMN, this book had me in a chokehold 😭😭😭😭😭 Cal's struggles with his addiction, with being there for those he loves and he goes through a whole lot in his healing process 😭😭😭😭 Lana taking care of Cami, being there for her and doing everything she can to be a good mom, and being broken because of her past with Cal and his struggles 😭😭😭😭 Lauren Asher indeed made me cry with this one 😭😭😭😭 That ending, Cal's healing process and how he put up with the fight of getting better because of himself, Cal, Lana, and Cami getting together with his brothers and their girls and all of them being so welcoming, THAT ENDING 😭😭😭😭😭
It's so hard saying goodbye to a book series, especially when it's as good as this one!! Rowan and Zahra, Declan and Iris, Cal, Lana, and Cami all grew SO MUCH!! I can now say that I was there when Declan showed his inner human for the first time and started loving others around him, when Rowan forgave himself and started doing the things he loved, and when Cal got better and decided to focus on his future 😭😭😭😭😭💖💖💘💘💝💝
I'm keeping this series with me forever and ever 💖💖💘💘💝💝 Thank you for this amazing series, Lauren Asher!! I cried, laughed a lot, and started believing more that I can do whatever I set my mind to, and nothing will ever be better than the moments I spend reading this series 😭😭😭😭😭💖💖💘💘💝💝
