The collapsing empire goodreads5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() Just as a river changes course, The Flow changes as well, cutting off worlds from the rest of humanity. The Flow is eternal - but it is not static. ![]() It’s a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. Our universe is ruled by physics and faster than light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extra-dimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transport us to other worlds, around other stars.

All day long I pray for the gods to free Deven. “We have to accept our fate.”Īt my lowest moments, I have almost succumbed to the same despondency.

Tarkington married twice and had one daughter who sadly died at a young age. Originally hailing from Indianapolis (where his novels were mostly set), Newton Booth Tarkington was a degree-less Princeton man whose upper-crust patrician Midwestern family tragically lost most of its wealth during the Panic of 1893, not unlike the fictional Amberson family. In his day, Tarkington was considered among the best novelists of his generation, an erudite midwestern gentleman who dined with business magnates and politicians alike, but today he has fallen among the crowded ranks of mostly forgotten Pulitzer Prize-winners. ![]() With two Pulitzer Prizes, Tarkington became the founding member of an exclusive club which, in later years, also included William Faulkner and John Updike, who both won two Pulitzer Prizes (and as of 2020 Colson Whitehead has also achieved this rare distinction). Its author, Booth Tarkington, is one of the few writers to ever win the Pulitzer twice (amazingly, he won it again for Alice Adams in 1922). A stately American novel if there ever was one, The Magnificent Ambersons (1918) won the second “Pulitzer Prize for the Novel” in 1919. ![]() Harry dresden grave peril5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() And fear for those around me, for the folk who didn't have the power I had.

GRAVE PERIL - REVIEW (Dresden Files Book 3) Daniel Greene 486K subscribers Subscribe 679 Share Save 15K views 4 years ago My review of Jim Butchers Grave Peril. Fear of the creatures in the darkness around me, of my own weakness, the stolen power the Nightmare had torn from me. Harry is a likable protagonist with more than his share of troubles, and Grave Peril will keep readers turning the pages to find out how he overcomes them. It is the third novel in The Dresden Files, which follows the character of Harry Dresden, presentday Chicagos only professional wizard. Horrible, clutching tension that left the coppery flavor of blood on my tongue. Grave Peril is a 2001 urban fantasy novel by author Jim Butcher. ![]() And there is coppery fear, drawn tight as the strings of a violin, quavering on one single note that cannot possibly be sustained for a single second longer-but goes on and on and on, the tension before the crash of cymbals, the brassy challenge of the horns, the threatening rumble of the kettle drums. There's heavy, leaden fear that comes in ingots, piling up in your belly during the empty hours between midnight and morning, when everything is dark, every problem grows larger, and every wound and illness grows worse. There's a sharp, silver fear that runs like lightning through your arms and legs, galvanizes you into action, power, motion. ![]() Author of white rage5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Since the abolishment of slavery in 1865, every time African Americans have made advances towards full democratic participation, white reaction has fuelled a rollback of any gains.Ĭarefully linking historical flashpoints - from the post-Civil War Black Codes and Jim Crow to expressions of white rage after the election of America's first black president - Carol Anderson renders visible the long lineage of white rage and the different names under which it hides.Ĭompelling and dramatic in the history it relates, White Rage adds a vital new dimension to the conversation about race in America. Anderson is also the author of E yes Off the Prize: The United Nations and the African-American Struggle for Human Rights, 1944-1955 (Cambridge University Press), which was awarded both the Gustavus Myers and Myrna Bernath Book Awards. ![]() ![]() THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFrom the Civil War to our combustible present, White Rage reframes the continuing conversation about race in America, chronicling the history of the powerful forces opposed to black progress.

He seems to genuinely love his Little, wanting him to be healthy and happy. While interacting with Cammy, Daddy is such a sweet caregiver as long as Cammy’s a good boy. Hyde change when dealing with them both separately. ![]() It’s almost as if he’s two different people, though I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s a complete Dr. The way he treats Cammy and Zay differently is very intriguing. He’s what people refer to as a phycological sadist. Daddy, who despite saying he isn’t a sadist, comes across as one remorseless, controlling individual. I don’t normally write my review focusing on the characters, but I thought I would for this book because the plot is so character-driven. ![]() I like being able to distinguish between the characters easily no matter whose point of view I’m experiencing the story through. They are all extremely different from one another personality-wise which was refreshing for me. There are three main characters that this book focuses on Daddy/Master, Camden/Cammy, and Isaiah/Zay. The characters and plot of the prose were so thought-provoking I had to start scribbling my thoughts down to retain initial reactions. I enjoyed Zachary’s narrative for Guilded Cages. Despite not being a big fan of Zachary Zaba, I was enthralled by the story he was telling me. ![]() I was pleasantly surprised to find that wasn’t the case for R. When I write a review, I usually wait until I’ve finished the book before getting started on the reviewing process. ![]() Dragon bones by patricia briggs5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Adam’s temper could worry me in the hero but Briggs does a great job of displaying his self-control. Mercy’s recovering from what Tim did to her and it doesn’t help that the incident made national news. At the end of Iron Kissed it seemed a bit early for Mercy to be ready to have sex again, so I was glad Adam and her ended up taking things slow. ![]() Of course, it would be easier if she didn’t still have panic attacks. ![]() Mercy’s love life should be on track since she realized she loves Adam and only loves Samuel as a friend. (One of my favorite continuity nods: Mercy asks Bran about the teenage werewolf girl he took in last book. I’m being as vague as I can, but most of Bone Crossed deals with the fallout of the events in those novels. So here’s your warning: I cannot discuss Bone Crossed without mildly spoiling the plots of both Iron Kissed and Blood Bound. At the end of Iron Kissed she made a plot point I wasn’t sure I was cool with, so I was eager to see how she dealt with it in Bone Crossed as well as to see what trouble Mercy gets into. I couldn’t be happier with the success of the Mercy Thompson series because it means I’m getting even more of her a year, especially with the spin-off Alpha and Omega series. I picked up Dragon Bones (possibly her best book) from the library and fell in love. I discovered Patricia Briggs on accident. ![]() Urban fantasy hardcover released by ACE 3 Feb 09 Liviania’s review of Bone Crossed (Mercy Thompson, Book 4)by Patricia Briggs ![]() |
