And if his dangerous secret gets revealed, he has a lot more to worry about than a stolen airship.įile Under: Fantasy Did Detan accidentally walk into a revolution and a crusade? He has to be careful-there’s a reason most people think he’s dead. But the doppel isn’t working for Thratia and has her own intentions. ![]() And with this sudden power vacuum, Thratia can solidify her power and wreak havoc against the Empire. The sudden paranoia makes Detan’s plans of stealing Thratia’s ship that much harder. They set their sights on their biggest heist yet-the gorgeous airship of the exiled commodore Thratia.īut in the middle of his scheme, a face changer known as a doppel starts murdering key members of Aransa’s government.

If we are to win, we must fight under one dream, not many. ![]() Scott’s vision is authoritative, rich and never slackens its dramatic grip. Two days ago, when I still had two hundred pages left to read, I ordered the next two books, eager to find out how the story would unfold. For the past week I’ve been drawn deep into a world of mist and forests, warriors, dreamers and fragile tribal alliances. And it’s stunning.Įpic in both size and scope, it recreates not only the physical world of the remote British past, but also its customs and its ritual world. When I recently found the first book in a second-hand sale, I decided to see what I made of it. I think I shamefully leapt to the conclusion, without any evidence whatsoever, that Boudica was just another identikit sword-and-shield historical series. Although Manda Scott’s Boudica novels were mentioned several times, I didn’t follow them up. Three years ago, just after finishing the last novel in Dorothy Dunnett’s Niccolòseries, I asked for recommendations of similar books to fill the gap. ![]() ![]() ![]() I imagine adapting the memoir into Fun Home the musical was difficult. ![]() In particular, this is a hard review to write because I can only explain events individually, but the musical audience can see all three timelines interacting together: Alison Bechdel as a child (Marissa Simeqi), college student (Ellie Van Amerongen), and adult. It’s the circles drawn through and around it that we walk in this musical. ![]() We know Bruce dies - it’s revealed early on in the musical - but that’s not the point. As adult Alison Bechdel (Amy Jo Jackson) illustrates her childhood and college years in her graphic memoir Fun Home, she recalls her newfound acceptance after coming out as lesbian in college just as her closeted gay father dies from getting hit by a truck. The funeral home - affectionately named Fun Home by the children - is the stage set, with painted white eaves hanging from the ceiling and antique furniture and ornamental rugs on the floor. ![]() The child, adult, and college-age Allisons all sing together at the end of the musical 'Fun Home.'Ĭalderwood Pavilion at the Boston Center for the Artsĭeath and history loom over the Bechdel funeral home, the historical museum lovingly crafted by its director, Alison’s father Bruce Bechdel (Todd Yard), and cared for by her mother, Helen Bechdel (Laura Marie Duncan). ![]() ![]() "Readers will come for the adventure, stay for the romantic tension.Replete with historical details, this novel is a worthy addition to the growing list of time-travel adventure/romance novels and high-stakes cross-continent treasure hunts."- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books ![]() I can't wait to voyage through the next volume."- Victoria Aveyard, New York Times #1 best-selling author of Red Queen Fans of Outlander will see so much of Claire in Etta, who holds a smart and headstrong lens to history. "I was truly transported through this novel, a willing passenger pulled through its pages alongside riveting, romantic characters and an immense world with no end in sight. ![]() "Bracken keeps pages turning."- Kirkus Reviews Maas, New York Times #1 best-selling author of the A Court of Thorns and Roses ser Passenger grabs you by the heart from its opening notes and doesn't let go until its knockout, blockbuster finale."- Sarah J.

On Mystic Lake is an honest and reflective account of what can happen to a person when they get lost within their own lives.Īnnie, the main character, was such a lovely woman and I enjoyed watching her evolve into a stronger person who, by the end of the novel, had a much truer sense of her own self-worth. But just when Annie believes she’s been given a second chance at happiness, her world is turned upside down again, and she is forced to make a choice that no woman in love should ever have to make.Īnother enjoyable novel by Kristin Hannah. Together, the three of them begin to heal. There, she is reunited with her first love, Nick Delacroix, a recent widower who is unable to cope with his silent, emotionally scarred young daughter. Devastated, Annie retreats to the small town where she grew up. Annie Colwater’s husband has just confessed that he’s in love with a younger woman. ![]() ![]() ![]() OHHH."Īfterward, she was almost shy, or as shy as Ygritte ever got. "If you love me all so much, why are you still dressed?" she whispered. "I love your skinny legs, and what's between them." He knelt to kiss her there, lightly on her mound at first, but Ygritte moved her legs apart a little, and he saw the pink inside and kissed that as well, and tasted her. I love your teats." He kissed them, one and then the other. I love your mouth, and the way you kiss me. Does that make it even luckier? He pulled her close. Her legs were skinny and well muscled, the hair at the juncture of her thighs a brighter red than that on her head. He had never seeen how beautiful she was. He had been in her half a hundred times by now, but always beneath furs, with others all around them. She stood before him naked as her name day, and he was as hard as the rock around them. “I know I want you," he heard himself say, all his vows and his honor all forgotten. ![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe it's time to accept who she really is, even if it means becoming an exile herself. She knows what the Catherine side of her would do, but she also knows what her heart is telling her. ![]() When Caleb reveals a secret about his long-lost father, one band's past becomes another's present, and Summer finds it harder and harder to be both band manager and girlfriend. ![]() She also finds herself at the center of a mystery she never saw coming. Over tacos on lunch dates to far-off outlet-mall planets and during practices at the Hive with their new band, Dangerheart, Catherine - no, Summer - falls in love with Caleb. That thing when someone sings a song and it inhabits you, possesses you, and moves you like a marionette to its will. But Caleb Daniels isn't an ordinary band boy - he's a hot, dreamy, sweet-singing, exiled-from-his-old-band, possibly-with-a-deep-dark-side band boy. The never-skipping-class Catherine part of her knows, though, that falling for the lead singer of her latest band is the least-professional thing a manager can do. Catherine Summer Carlson knows how to manage bands like a professional - she's a student at the PopArts Academy at Mount Hope High, where rock legends Allegiance to North got their start. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the bones of the play itself, which is to say, in the events and themes he dramatizes, Shakespeare establishes a parallel with the first half of the Book of Joshua in fact, the events in Jos. Shakespeare, however, deigns to leave us with some resource in discerning his own judgment of this enigmatic king. The perplexity set before us in the play is no doubt appropriate, being rooted in the perplexity of Henry V himself. Walter presents the argument? Or, is he one of the craftiest of Machiavels, which is the more popular opinion of scholars such as Steven Marx and Roy Battenhouse? And yet others, such as Norman Rabkin, argue that Shakespeare wishes to encounter Henry as an enigma, forever impenetrable. ![]() Is Henry a paragon of Christian kings, as J.M. Indeed, for all of the learning, piety, nobility, and wisdom for which he has become renowned since ascending the throne, is he truly pious, truly just? This puzzle has divided critics of the play. "Never," the Bishops declare, "came reformation in a flood / With such a heady currance, scouring faults." Yet the man who donned the wolf's clothing so well is hard to trust in his new, seeming goodness, and thus Henry's virtue remains a difficulty. However, judging Henry's true character has proven frustratingly difficult to readers and critics because Henry possesses a singular talent for appearing other than he really is. To discern the character and virtues of Henry Monmouth, the titular character of Shakespeare's Henry the Fifth, we must look at what he says and does. ![]() ![]() ![]() "I have lived in repentance for the past several years - repenting of my self-righteousness, my fear-based approach to life, the teaching of my books, my views of women in the church, and my approach to parenting to name a few," he said. ![]() In a follow-up post, he elaborated that he was what could be described as "falling away" from the Christian faith and that he now believed in marriage equality.Īt the same time, he issued an apology to members of the LGBT community. The evangelical community has been shocked by the former pastor's about-turns in recent weeks, the first of which was an announcement on Instagram that he was separating from his wife of 21 years, Shannon. ![]() Joshua Harris at the Vancouver Pride Parade (Photo: Instagram/Joshua Harris)Īfter announcing last month that he no longer considers himself a Christian and has changed his views on homosexuality, I Kissed Dating Goodbye author Joshua Harris has joined the annual Pride Parade in Vancouver. ![]() |
