Lore alexandra bracken book 25/30/2023 It’s been a while since I’ve read fantasy, and although I’m not super familiar with Greek mythology, I was fully immersed in Alexandr a Bracken’s Lore. But Lore’s decision to bind her fate to Athena’s and rejoin the hunt will come at a deadly cost–and still may not be enough to stop the rise of a new god with the power to bring humanity to its knees. The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and, at last, a way for Lore to leave the Agon behind forever. Yet as the next hunt dawns over New York City, two participants seek out her help: Castor, a childhood friend of Lore believed long dead, and a gravely wounded Athena, among the last of the original gods. For years she’s pushed away any thought of revenge against the man–now a god– responsible for their deaths. Long ago, Lore Perseous fled that brutal world in the wake of her family’s sadistic murder by a rival line, turning her back on the hunt’s promises of eternal glory. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals, hunted by the descendants of ancient bloodlines, all eager to kill a god and seize their divine power and immortality.

In fact, I bet a lot of people will DNF this one. “If you want to know the history of a town, read the gravestones in its cemetery.” And I for sure also recommend this to people who also love The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden and Uprooted by Naomi Novik! And I swear, I don’t remember consuming any fruit while reading this, yet I am still completely under this book’s spell. I never wanted to put this book down! And I knew that this was going to be heavy on the Russian folklore, but I had no idea that this was also a reimagining of Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti. It was also able to evoke such a visceral reading experience from me. This is one of the most atmospheric books I’ve ever read in my entire life. “Sometimes you know when you don’t belong, but you don’t know how to leave.” ARC provided by Orbit in exchange for an honest review.

The list siobhan vivian book review5/30/2023 Through a post-evacuation frame story and a seemingly endless collection of hinted-at mysteries, unreliable narrator Keeley escalates her increasingly bad behavior, alienating her best friend. Maybe the conspiracy is real, but in a town of boarded-up shopfronts and saturated homes, what options does anyone have? Keeley, a jokester who always takes every joke that one step too far, ramps up her high jinks to distract her glum friends. Keeley's dad thinks the governor (who plans a profitable dam) intentionally keeps the town in poor repair. As the worst of the floodwaters recede but the rains don't stop, the mayor and governor encourage the locals to abandon the town, offering hefty insurance payouts. Unfortunately, after a spring so cold and wet that kids are wearing thermals and winter coats in May, the river floods, destroying many homes and closing the high school for good. Keeley is completely psyched for her senior year in tiny, largely white Aberdeen. When disaster strikes a working-class town, the class clown learns her coping mechanisms don't help anyone.

Love Notes by Helen Hardt5/30/2023 The Steel Brothers Saga starts with Jade and Talon’s love story. They believe that Helen Hardt’s entire collection does her story justice by digging into all the nooks and crannies of the steel family. They think that the Steel Brothers Saga should have ended as a trilogy and that Helen was wrong to extend it beyond the third book.īut for many Hardt fans, the Steel Brothers saga had way too many stories left to tell for it to end after three of four books.

The old ways a journey on foot5/29/2023 But of all these, one, in particular, has shown how utterly beautiful a brilliantly written travel book can still be. For every piece predicting its demise, another is announcing the arrival of some new talent: in the past few years, writers as diverse as Pankaj Mishra, William Fiennes, Suketu Mehta, Rory Stewart, and Peter Hessler have all produced masterworks that show the continuing vitality of the travel book, as well as its ability to reinvent itself for each successive generation. And yet this ancient form stubbornly refuses to die. It has recently become almost cliche to predict the extinction of travel writing in the internet and Google Earth age. Like epic poetry, but unlike the novel, the travel book has appeared spontaneously in almost all the world’s classical and medieval cultures, from the journeys of Hsuan Tsang in India and Basho in Japan, through the topographies of Ibn Battuta and Marco Polo, to the Celtic monks venturing westwards on their immortal wonder-journeys. Tales of travel take us back to man’s deepest literary roots, to the Epic of Gilgamesh and the wanderings of the Pandava brothers in the Mahabharata. Travel writing – an individual telling a story about a journey through a landscape – is one of the world’s most primitive forms of literature. |
