![]() ![]() ![]() It’s no coincidence that Aly, the accused, is black and belongs to an oppressed refugee group Rhee has the tan skin of the ruling group. In another thread, in breathlessly alternating chapters, Aly finds himself tossed from his life in the military (and reluctant star of a reality program) into a desperate quest to absolve himself from the charge of assassinating Rhee. She’s bent on revenge on the man who assassinated her family years ago, which left her the last Ta’an of 12 generations of warrior emperors-but he may not be who she thought. An assassination attempt from a shocking source has Rhee running from planet to planet, disguised, untangling threads of deception and betrayal. ![]() A galaxy perches on the edge of war when word goes out that the crown princess has been assassinated.Įxcept she hasn’t been. ![]() ![]() ![]() While Van Dusen's version of Daphne draws eyes wherever she goes, Quinn's protagonist prefers to stand in the periphery of events, where she can remain unnoticed. She remains unmarried two years after she entered society, and the men in town view her as more of a friend than a romantic partner.

This helps in relating to the characters, being able to imagine their faces, their pain, and their feeling. ![]() It is not hard to vision this scene in the novel Rushdie’s words are full of meaning, symbols, and visions. Rai’s last picture of Vina is something that he will cherish forever, while she is the one that is in focus, the one that he loves, everything else is just exploding all around her, how Rai really feels inside whenever he sees her. There is a sense of eruptions all around her lurching body: great releases of water, terror, fire, tequila, dust”(466). Her arms are spread wide, her hair is flying, the expression on her face is halfway between anger and fear. “In my last photograph of Vina the ground beneath her feet is cracked like crazy paving and there’s liquid everywhere. ![]() ![]() The one comprehensive, reliable study of motorcycle crashes in this country is the well known "Hurt Report," which is now nearly 40 years old. The next time you hear one coming, notice that it’s louder when it’s coming toward you than when it’s going away. The siren is pointed forward because the purpose is to warn driver’s the truck is approaching from behind. If that concept is confusing, think of the sound of a fire truck passing you with its siren blaring. Your exhaust is pointed backwards and by the nature of you traveling forward, you're actually leaving the sound behind you as you move forward. Let's start with some basic physics and a little rationality.

It's usually coming from some guy on a Harley or retro Triumph, though the sportbike guys are jumping on as of late. The "loud pipes save lives" argument is one I see or hear on almost a weekly basis. "I can't tell you how many times a driver has noticed me because of my loud exhaust." ![]() ![]() ![]() I was really intrigued by the main character Ana. The story is told in an interesting way with a mix of flashbacks, courtroom scenes and post trial interviews. I’m always on the lookout for mystery books with a twist or a combination of genres like this. I really enjoyed The Kingdom! Part mystery, part science fiction, the two genres are blended nicely together to make a really entertaining story. Sinister things start happening around the park culminating in a murder. ![]() On the surface the kingdom and it’s princesses (or fantasist as they’re called) are perfect but it soon becomes clear all is not well. Told through court testimony, interrogation records and fragmented flashbacks, The Kingdom has the futuristic appeal of Westworld and the twists and turns of a true-crime thriller. It’s a fairytale which ends in murder as the one of the ‘Fantasists’ goes renegade… Ana, a half-human, half-android princess, is tasked with entertaining visitors and making wishes come true but now she’s on trial, after finding herself experiencing emotions and romantic feelings against all her programming.

It’s these elements that blend fantasy (a world that feels a little bit like The Mortal Instruments) with a strong fairytale “voice.” This series doesn’t fall prey to the same-old, same-old mantra so many of its peers do. In conclusion, Unraveling is a solid, intriguing and breathtaking adventure that follows up its predecessor in a memorable fashion. This helps the reader learn more about these characters and helps “ground” us in their version of reality. ![]() Sometimes it’s nice to read something that’s about character rather than events driving everything. What I love most about this series ( one of the things I love best) is that this is more about the emotional cliffhangers than edge-of-your-seat thrills. “Because true beauty comes from within, from the person you are.” – Sara Ella Book two picks up where its prequel leaves off, and delves into more emotionally intriguing and complex mind-bending queries. Booktuber Sara Ella wrote an emotionally complex YA novel with her debut and her sequel keeps that same powerful storytelling. Same as is the story with Unblemished, this follow up novel is a kind of magical experience. ![]() |
