![]() ![]() Her fairy queen is regal or loving depending on the circumstance, and we know this through the power of language. Her gift is such that she knows when an abrupt, snappy sentence is the best option and, correspondingly, when a sentence is best fitted to roll along like a slow flowing river current. ![]() She has a gift of finding the right word and the right phrase, and the correct construction to sweep the reader along. I’m referring to the clear-cut freshness of the text. One aspect of Marillier’s writing appeals to me more than some other attributes that she handles well. Book One, The Harp of Kings, is equally well-written. I’ve not come across her books before now, but she boasts an impressive line-up under the Pan Macmillan label, and while I know nothing about her other books, I can say that A Dance with Fate, second volume of the Warrior Bards series, is a carefully crafted and interesting book.

Capitol on January 6, 2021, was a terrible day for American democracy, but many people dared to hope that at least it would break the fever that had overcome the Republican Party and banish Trump's relentless lies about the stealing of the 2020 election. That is not what happened. Instead, “the big steal” has become dogma among an ever-higher percentage of American Republicans. What happened to the Republican Party, and America, during the Trump presidency is a story we more or less think we know. What has happened to the party since, it turns out, is even more disquieting. ![]() The disturbing eyewitness account of how a new breed of Republicans-led by Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, and Madison Cawthorn-far from moving on from Trump, have taken the politics of hysteria to even greater extremes and brought American democracy to the edge ![]() One of The Washington Post's 10 Best Books of 2022 ![]() ![]() ![]() Stein attended the Parsons School of Design in Manhattan for college.

His answer was that he can run over to Barnes and Noble and grab it during the rest of his errands for the day. I normally like to read ebooks but my husband has been listening to the series (as I had done) and just got Stars Above and so I asked his opinion on whether we should get the print hardcover or the ebook. I already love the series and this is written in comic form so it's that much easier to do in just one sitting. My husband was surprised by this but I imagine that no bookish person would be. ![]() ![]() ![]() And the two come to an agreement that Kal will marry Elena. The book starts out with Kal (a volunteer doctor and hitman) confronting the don of the Ricci mafia in Boston about a sex tape someone took of himself with Ricci’s eldest daughter, Elena. Would recommend, but again, there is some major darkness and kink in there that if you aren’t interested in/okay with I would say steer clear. This book alternates between Elena’s and Kal’s POV. Hated her parents, loved her sisters, loved Elena, and quite liked Kallum. The story itself was a good connection between Hades and Persephone and the real world I think it made sense that they were both so damaged in order to fit together. There was definitely passion but a lot of darker kink things that I don’t personally find attractive (blood play)- but to each their own. ![]() I was worried when I started this book because I’d just finished the fourth book in a series I adored and I wasn’t sure if I was ready to fall into another world but I was instantly thrown into that world.
