Once upon a time, Lena the Giant would never have imagined having an audience of her own kind as she fought her way through a patrol of Faceless, the Golden King’s mind-controlled army. Can she and her genie friend, Jin, save the human world that doesn’t trust them, or will they fall prey to shadow magic, and doom everything? Excerpt But only if she first proves herself worthy by completing three challenges.Īll Lena ever wanted was to prove she is really a giant. The fairy queens, the most magical beings in the kingdoms, say their sacred book, Tales of All Things, claims that there is one person who can defeat the Golden King and his dark spells: Lena. The power-hungry Golden King wants revenge and has begun spreading shadow magic out over the kingdoms, taking over the minds of anyone it touches, and instilling fear and hatred as it goes. Lena might finally be accepted by the other giants after helping to defeat the Golden King and his faceless army in the Cursed City, but that doesn’t mean life has become any easier for her. The second book in a new trilogy of twisted fairy tales from New York Times bestselling author James Riley, set in the world of his popular Half Upon a Time series, that’s perfect for fans of Fablehaven and Chris Colfer’s A Tale of Magic series! That may sound a bit stupid, like bootcamp in Full Metal Jacket, but for kids. Ender is destined to great things, but first he has to survive Battle School. Ender, as he is called, is of cause a special kid and even among all the gifted kids at Battle School, he is special. It isn’t that important, but one thing that I’m absolutely sure of, is that this isn’t fantasy.Įnder’s Games is a rather special book, first of all it’s a reworking of Scott Cards first published novel, and secondly the story is, to my knowledge one of the only Science Fiction novel, where the main character, and nearly every other character, is a kid. This copy of Ender’s Games, which I have for some strange reason never read, actually have a small sticker on it that says "Fant" (so that it easily can be returned to the correct department). Just the feeling of being surrounded by all those books, can bring a joy to my heart, that can’t even be totally thwarted by the fact that they had merged the (english-) fantasy and the science fiction departments, and just calls them "fantasy" now. Enders Game is the award winning first novel in the Ender Saga, by Orson Scott Card.Ī trip to the library, nearly always bring something good with it. Agent: Catherine Drayton, Inkwell Management. In the vein of Marcus Sedgwick’s Revolver, Fitzpatrick’s novel is rife with psychological twists exploring themes of revenge, misogyny, and familial duty. As Britt narrates the tale, she flits between naïve damsel in distress, desperately hoping her outdoorsy ex, Calvin, will come to her rescue and quick-witted young woman who shows resiliency after making the sickening discovery that her captors have killed before. Britt is smart and resourceful, untangling mixed signals from mysterious captor Mason (who helps her lie to his partner-in-crime, Shaun, to save her friend Korbie), plotting her escape, and navigating the brutal elements-blinding snowfalls, frigid temperatures, and grizzly bears. An abrupt and disturbingly graphic opener sets the tone for Fitzpatrick’s (the Hush, Hush Series) staccato storytelling and barrage of deadly complications. Forced to feign wilderness expertise, she promises to guide them to the highway so they’ll spare her life. High school senior Britt Pheiffer plans to spend spring break backpacking in the Grand Tetons before a blizzard strands her, and two strangers take her hostage. : Black Ice (9781442474260) by Fitzpatrick, Becca and a great selection of similar New, Used and Collectible Books available now at great prices. But as these victims’ hair starts falling out and they appear to die of natural causes, the question remains: what is the connection, and who is behind it? Further, though Mark tells Inspector Lejeune (Sean Pertwee) that there is no connection with other names on the list (save one nephew), we know otherwise. Game on! But it’s very quickly apparent that most of the people whose names on the list are already dead, and there are more deaths to come. The two-part miniseries takes place in 1960s London and focuses on the character of Mark Easterbrook (Rufus Sewell), who finds out his name is on a list discovered in a dead woman’s shoe. The Pale Horse, now available on Amazon Prime, is no different-but your mileage may vary on whether or not you think those changes are a positive. In each, Phelps has updated the material (if not the setting) to often land on a different killer from Christie’s source material, or to come about the revelation in a new way. The Pale Horse is the latest in a quintet of Agatha Christie adaptations by Sarah Phelps, including The Witness for the Prosecution, And Then There Were None, and Ordeal by Innocence. And it also shows how feminism evolves and changes from each decade. Female mentorshipįaith’s rise to become a figure in the feminist movement is intriguing. Something I did like was that while there are heavy topics, there’s plenty of comedic moments. And in fact, as the story goes on, I became more interested in Cory’s story - his arc could be its own book, which is odd since this novel’s promotion was so focused on female mentorship. While there is a connection between those narratives, it wasn’t enough to feel earned. This narrative style felt uneven to me and too much backstory about those characters without moving the plot along. While the beginning is heavy on Greer’s point of view, it eventually switches to Greer’s boyfriend Cory, her college roommate Zee to even at one point Faith’s perspective. But it slowly becomes apparent not all is what it seems when it comes to Faith. And Faith grants Greer this by hiring her after she graduates from college. Greer desperately wants to find a sense of purpose. When Greer hears feminist icon Faith Frank speak, her entire world expands. At the beginning of the novel, we meet Greer Kadetsky, a shy college freshman.

I stopped many times to read passages to my husband which explained some of the mysteries of our aging bodies. So informative, educational and inspiring. Whether his pro-fasting stance amounts to bias is arguable, but he knew fasting as few people have. He makes sense, basing his arguments on logic and sound science, not on mere testimonials. There is no more reliable source of advice on fasting than Herbert M. From hay fever to heart disease, and others. Then, in separate chapters, he discusses various acute and chronic conditions that can be resolved by fasting: from arthritis and asthma to gallstones and tumors. Who should fast? Should children fast? Should underweight people fast? Should pregnant women fast? The difference between hunger and appetite. He covers all the obvious angles: why to fast, where and when to fast, what to expect during a fast, when and how to break a fast.
