6/10/2023 0 Comments A court of wings and ruin booksSeries fans will be in heaven as the hot faery romance of Feyre and Rhysand continues, an epic battle against evil forces looms, and lots of action and plot twists keep the 699 pages turning. If you're a sensible, responsible parent, don't let your kids read this. There are better ones than this disaster. Honestly, even if you're an adult in need of a decent fantasy erotica, go look somewhere else. These characters think of nothing other than shagging each other. There's a scene where Feyre gives a blow job to Rhysand, her partner, in the middle of a war. I'd go so far as saying this is worse than Twilight. Several times they maim/attack/ hit the other person who dared to oppose the main character or her friends.Īll the main characters are extremely rude and insufferable and not good role models for kids at all. She and her friends physically attack anyone who just slightly insults them, even if they themselves initiated the badmouthing in the first place. The writing is exaggerated and melodramatic, the main character Feyre only thinks of herself and her precious friends and acts in a way that harms the general population under their rule. I can't think of one good thing- a single redeeming quality - about these. The protagonists are all self-absorbed, entitled, violent to anyone that's not their friends, shallow, selfish people.

6/10/2023 0 Comments Signs of cupidity by raven kennedyUnfortunately, my bitterness carried over into the new realm, and then I attacked a fae prince with Love Arrows. You can only do so much before the cupid bosses get all huffy. Sorry, not sorry.Īll my bad cupid'ing might be why I was exiled from the human realm. And yeah, I'm probably responsible for some terrible matchmaking out there. I'm stuck in this never-ending afterlife where I'm invisible, lonely, and bitter as hell. They don't call us stupid cupids for nothing. I used to consider myself a hopeless romantic, so why wouldn't I choose to become a cupid? Sounds like a good idea, right? Wrong again. I can pass it out like sugar-free lollipops at a dentist's office, but I can't get any love for myself. Sure, I can blow some Lust into people's faces and watch the show, but I can't actually participate. You'd think that basically being in charge of love would be an epic job, right? Wrong. 6/10/2023 0 Comments Under the never sky bookShe pulls out a raw falcon egg and starts eating it. Rossi sits back in her chair and kicks her feet up onto the editor's table. What is it? Where did it come from? How does it work?" We love your first copy but we're concerned about this Aether thing. I can just imagine how her meeting with the editor went: Mostly I'm just impressed with Rossi because she clearly is a badass. It wasn't a perfect novel but I feel that it achieved what it was meant to and that was inspiring me to invest in Aria and Perry's story. The writing is fair enough and I felt that it was reasonably tight and serviceable. The world building is fascinating and vivid, yet simplistic enough for most audiences to grasp reasonably well. There's a lot to like about Rossi's futuristic science-fiction novel. eventually, the main characters, Aria and Perry, are what stacked it back to being a great read. It could either land back on solid ground or go toppling off into the deep end. This book was teetering on a precipice for me. If you said they're both Holden Caulfield then you get the gold star. Name the biggest praise and the biggest complaint about J.D. Sometimes your book reading experience comes down to one single factor: Do you like the MC? Although Zander had some secrets.Īnne’s mother had a large role in the story (even more than Quigley’s parents!) and readers got to learn a lot about her as well. David and Quigley were constantly competing with each other about whose art was better and David wasn’t always the nicest guy, but things change when he admits to liking Quigley. There were two main guys in this book- Zander and David. I loved reading about Quigley’s experiences at the design class and about the people she meets there.Įach of the characters introduced in Will Work for Prom Dress was well developed and had more to them then met the eye. When Anne’s mother gets the girls jobs as models in her design class Quigley finally finds the one place she loves going. The pizza factory and acting stints were interesting to read about and I really felt for Quigley because she always seemed to be stuck with the worst part of the job while Anne always managed to get the easiest. It was tons of fun reading about the different odd jobs Anne roped Quigley into. Prom season was fast approaching and she and her best friend, Anne, are determined to get healthy, raise money for dresses, and find dates. The main character, Quigley, was just an ordinary girl dealing with a lot of issues normal high school students are. Will Work For Prom Dress was a fun and addicting debut novel that will attract a variety of teenage-readers. Although he dreamed of being a writer, Keyes’ parents wanted him to be a doctor.

In honor of that important time, Daniel Keyes spent here, his daughters Hillary and Leslie Keyes have generously set up several scholarships for Wayne State English students. Keyes’ beloved novel has been translated into 27 different languages, taught to a countless number of students in English classes, and was actually written during Keyes’ time at our very own Wayne State.

She may be imagining a world in flames, but she’s doing it with a dark cackle. Stuffed with cornball hymns, genetic mutations worthy of Thomas Pynchon (such as the rakuunk, a combined skunk and raccoon) and a pharmaceutical company run amok, it reads like dystopia verging on satire. So it’s a welcome surprise that her new novel, “The Year of the Flood,” is a slap-happy romp through the end times. From 1972’s “Surfacing,” a virtuoso rewriting of the Demeter myth, to “The Handmaid’s Tale,” with its baroquely imagined future in which women are slaves, Atwood’s best books are dream capsules in which greed, destructive anti-environmentalism, religious fundamentalism and the constant desire to subject the will of women combine into a proto-fascist force.īecause Atwood thinks deeply on these matters, her vision is often bleak. But no novels, and it is in her novels that Margaret Atwood spins the most arresting alternate mythologies to our hell-bent world. Yes, there have been half a dozen books, an opera even. Lady Oracle has been quiet the last six years. 6/9/2023 0 Comments Mazzucchelli daredevilMazzucchelli was a teacher at the Rhode Island School of Design and the School of Visual Arts in New York City.ĭavid Mazzucchelli was an influence on Anton, Logan Kowalsky, Javier Pulido and Germana Viana. In 2009 he published his graphic novel 'Asterios Polyp', published by Pantheon.

Charlotte is smart enough to know, however, that someday her friends and family may not be enough to “protect her from ruin,” or provide a fulfilling future.ĭid she even want that protection? Her sisters were all married, and their reputations were safe.įor Charlotte, ruin was becoming perilously hard to distinguish from rescue. She keeps turning eligible (and not-so-eligible) men down when they propose to her. Marriage for marriage’s sake is never the desired outcome.Ĭharlotte Windham is in a precarious situation. Without further ado, here’s my list: all examples are from A Rogue of Her Own. All of the above!
