![]() ![]() He loves to use common sayings, but he can never get them right. Oh, I really liked Chris and Marigold, but Ed made me laugh. But there were still several surprises along the way that kept the story fresh.Įd the troll might have been my favorite character. You can probably guess the general outline of the story, beginning to end, just from that. He wants to be her friend, and he wants to know why she frequently looks unhappy. As he grows older, he starts to notice Princess Marigold, who he can watch as she reads on her terrace in the castle. ![]() We first meet Chris when he’s a six-year-old runaway living in the woods. Looks really didn’t come into play at all. She even asks commoners’ opinions on the qualities that a good ruler should have! Even the minor characters are generally defined by their personalities, good or bad. Princess Marigold is a reader, also intelligent and kind, and very concerned with making sure that she becomes a good strong ruler of her kingdom. He’s the first in the kingdom to use p-mail (pigeon mail). I loved that the defining characteristics of the characters weren’t their beauty or lack thereof. My seven-year-old cousin and fellow lover-of-all-things-fairy, Natalie, convinced me to read this by reciting the cover blurb to me: “Part comedy, part love story, part everything-but-the-kitchen-sink.” What fairy tale fan could resist that? Not this one! ![]()

He loves Kate but doesn’t know how to tell her. Tyler Wright has spent the last four years emailing and occasionally "dating" Major Kate Cummings. He loves Reagan with all his heart but fear of failing her and himself keeps him traveling and away from her. But Noah is riding the rodeo circuit and has no reason to return to Harmony except for one.

The relatively narrow legal issue is whether the lawsuits should be heard in state court instead of federal court. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The ‘gimmick’ to the book, as it were, is that Cook writes from the perspective of the bad guy. The Black Company is about, well, The Black Company, a band of cutthroat mercenaries in a generic fantasy land. I’d heard mention of the Black Company series in passing a couple of times, however– and when Tor.com gave the first one away in ebook form (to promote the newest release, natch), I figured I’d give it a go. I’ve read Cook before– namely, a couple of his Garrett: PI books (detective noir in fantasyland, pretty much), way back before I started this blog. Instead, I’m gonna hammer out a couple of reviews of the books I read during the trip! So, uh, that’s good, right?Īnd to start, we have Glen Cook’s The Black Company. But don’t worry, I’m not going to bore you with vacation pictures (that’s what facebook is for). ![]() Not that you probably noticed, but I’ve been incommunicado for the last week and a half– that’s because I’ve been on vacation!

Once they sink their teeth into Clove, they don’t let go. However, these Alphas are heavy on the worship vibes. There are also Omegaverse vibes in this novel, which means there may be some scenes of dubious consent that can make a reader uncomfortable. I love their brutality, fierceness, and that underlying animalistic passion that burns the pages. And she’ll claim them back just as fiercely. There will be biting and violence because these Alphas will stop at nothing to protect their mate. ![]() ![]() Hide and seek is now a game of life and death.Īuthor’s Note: This is a dark shifter story with omegaverse undertones. One step toward my fate, and all the males turn their heads. I’m something distinctly other an Omega trapped in an Alpha’s skin. So I’ve just been given a new pack assignment. To Matt, this dream wouldn’t be possible without you. ![]() ![]() ![]() Perennially popular with readers, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has also been the continued object of study by literary critics since its publication. Set in a Southern antebellum society that had ceased to exist over 20 years before the work was published, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an often scathing satire on entrenched attitudes, particularly racism and freedom. It is also known for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. ![]() The book is noted for "changing the course of children's literature" in the United States for the "deeply felt portrayal of boyhood". ![]() It is a direct sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. It is told in the first person by Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, the narrator of two other Twain novels ( Tom Sawyer Abroad and Tom Sawyer, Detective) and a friend of Tom Sawyer. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn at WikisourceĪdventures of Huckleberry Finn is a novel by American author Mark Twain, which was first published in the United Kingdom in December 1884 and in the United States in February 1885.Ĭommonly named among the Great American Novels, the work is among the first in major American literature to be written throughout in vernacular English, characterized by local color regionalism. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The next night a bigger creature demands revenge for his fellow kin’s death, the wolf turned out to be fae.

Plotįeyre Archeron was hunting in the woods near the wall that separates the human world from the fae when she spotted a doe. those two basic plots might be the foundation of it all but the book is so much richer. I WAS SO WRONG BECAUSE IT WAS SO MUCH MORE! Yes, the book sort of starts that way, but anyone who says this is simply just a retelling of Beauty and the Beast is wrong. So I avoided this because the plot seems similar. I was looking for romance but I was just cringing. Plus, I have DNF-ed a couple of high fantasy series with a strong-woman-protagonist-falling-in-love-with-her-savior-prince plot no matter how much I tried to endure because they just didn’t sit right with me anymore. MONTHS! The trending books I’ve read lately have been so disappointing that I just expected this book would be too. This series has been trending so much lately in the book group that I avoided it like the plague for several months.
