![]() ![]() I would have to say that Salvatore's writing in The Crystal Shard is not really up to today's standards but am reliably informed that it improves with each book. RA Salvatore is an OK writer, his battle scenes are exciting if sometimes overly long but his characters are certainly memorable. There are hobbits, elves, dwarfs and orcs everything you would hope to find in a tale of high fantasy. ![]() The Crystal Shard is a book that pays homage to JRR Tolkien whilst displaying a distinct Dungeons & Dragons feel. ![]() It is left to the dark elf Drizzt, the dwarf Bruenor and the barbarian Wulfgar to stave of the forces of the crystal shard. The mage Akar Kessel has set in motion events leasing to the discovery of the crystal shard, a magical device that might be capable of utterly defeating Ten-Towns. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments Discworld i shall wear midnight![]() In 2008, Harper Children's published Terry's standalone non-Discworld YA novel, Nation. ![]() The first of these, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, won the Carnegie Medal.Ī non-Discworld book, Good Omens, his 1990 collaboration with Neil Gaiman, has been a longtime bestseller and was reissued in hardcover by William Morrow in early 2006 (it is also available as a mass market paperback - Harper Torch, 2006 - and trade paperback - Harper Paperbacks, 2006). There are over 40 books in the Discworld series, of which four are written for children. Terry worked for many years as a journalist and press officer, writing in his spare time and publishing a number of novels, including his first Discworld novel, The Color of Magic, in 1983. His first novel, a humorous fantasy entitled The Carpet People, appeared in 1971 from the publisher Colin Smythe. Born Terence David John Pratchett, Sir Terry Pratchett sold his first story when he was thirteen, which earned him enough money to buy a second-hand typewriter. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments The riddle by alison croggon![]() ![]() Published by Candlewick Press, Inc., Cambridge, MA. Maerad looked down at the floor and watched her feet. That is what Sharma failed to understand."Īrkan turned and looked her full in the face, and Maerad's heart skipped a beat. "Song cannot be made out of hatred and fear. "It is better if you do not hate or fear me," said Arkan. "You could just as easily cast me into some dark dungeon. "Why do you wish to please me?" she asked, breaking the silence. She was always conscious of the man pacing beside her, although she did not look at him. The design of the pillars had changed subtly, she thought she saw flowers within them, all with six petals, but infinitely various and intricate. They walked in silence for a time through the endless, beautiful corridors, and despite herself Maerad found she was admiring the beauties of Arkan-da with different eyes. "I will make you flowers if you desire them." ![]() "No," said Maerad, unable to conceal the sadness in her voice.

"I live," said Arkan with a peculiar arrogance as they walked. ![]() ![]() While not for young readers, anyone mature enough to handle an R-rated movie (and who enjoys zombies/horror) would be well advised to check this series out from the beginning. ![]() I won't get into details to avoid spoiling a great story, but there are parts of the last few pages that rip the reader's heart out. Even amongst the havoc, some bright hope for the future is given, although much of that is rapidly taken away in the climactic battle scene. While violence is rampant, it doesn't have quite the grotesque nature of some of the previous volumes with their torture scenes. ![]() This one packs a wallop - nobody is safe and nobody gets out of this volume unscathed. The calm breaks with a resounding crash in "Made To Suffer," with tanks, explosions, zombie bites and a death toll seldom seen among major characters in comic series. They should have know that wasn't going to last long! The previous volume of the modern-soon-to-be-classic zombie comic was entitled "The Calm Before the Storm," and the title was pretty fitting - it was much less action oriented and the main characters actually had a chance to breathe - even given an opportunity to settle into what could become their daily routine in the post-apocalyptic world that Kirkman has created. ![]() ![]() ![]() With her hands ready to catch him, for she was every moment 'And how exactly like an egg he is!' she said aloud, standing ![]() Take the least notice of her, she thought he must be a stuffed Like a Turk, on the top of a high wall-such a narrow one thatĪlice quite wondered how he could keep his balance-and, as hisĮyes were steadily fixed in the opposite direction, and he didn't Humpty Dumpty was sitting with his legs crossed, It might have been written a hundred times, easily, on thatĮnormous face. 'I'm as certain of it, as if his name were written all over his face.' 'It can't be anybody else!' she said to herself. ![]() However, the egg only got larger and larger, and more and more human: when she had come within a few yards of it, she saw that it had eyes and a nose and mouth and when she had come close to it, she saw clearly that it was HUMPTY DUMPTY himself. ![]() ![]() ![]() For one thing, she isn't an aristocrat or a desperate spinster. Marcelline is unlike any other heroine I've ever come across in all the historicals I've read. Truthfully, I'm a little shocked myself at how deeply I fell in love with this story. Chase had me so utterly enthralled in her world, all apprehensive and skeptical thoughts vanished even before I finished the first chapter. I tried extremely hard to squelch my anticipation with the fear that it would ruin this book as it has so many others, but I needn't have worried. ![]() ![]() Seeing as this book is recommended by one of my all-time favorite authors, Ilona Andrews, to say my expectations were high would be a major understatement. Even before reading the ending, I should be recommending the book to all my friends and calculating how soon I should reread it so that the experience will still be as absorbing as it was the first time around.

In Dirtbag, Massachusetts, Fitzgerald, with warmth and humor, recounts his ongoing search for forgiveness, a more far-reaching vision of masculinity, and a more expansive definition of family and self.įitzgerald's memoir-in-essays begins with a childhood that moves at breakneck speed from safety to violence, recounting an extraordinary pilgrimage through trauma to self-understanding and, ultimately, acceptance. ![]() ![]() But before all that, he was a bomb that exploded his parents' lives-or so he was told.
