i think the reason i was team grayson was bc i just loved him as a character and i rlly wanted him to have a happy ending and for him to overcome his trauma from emily and to me the way for that was through avery. i think a part of me knew that averyjameson were just so good for each other and jameson was what avery needed and I DEF see that now. sure i whined a couple times, but they makes sense. so u would assume i would probably be very mad that jamesonavery (DO THEY NOT HAVE A SHIP NAME or am i just dumb) were endgame BUT surprisingly im not mad whatsoever. i think i've always PERSONALLY in this series just felt a little more connected to grayson from the very beginning. i have always loved both jameson and grayson, i think they are both so unique from each other but i stil adore them THE SAME. I am def one of those people who always falls for the dark haired sarcastic love interest BUT there are times where the brooding blonde just finds his way to my heart and that IS EXACTLY what happened. Just gonna get this section out of the way bc that's probably WHAT UR HERE FOR. whole heartedly reccommend to everyone! OK NOW my thoughts which DEF HAVE SPOILERS SO BEWARE GENUINELY had such an amazing time reading this entire trilogy and i kid u not i literally LOVE this universe with my whole being. Ok before i get into my thoughts i just want to mention how i am actually incredibly sad bc this series is over. Been team grayson since the minute my king stepped into that principal's office. And he doesn’t talk much, as it’s pretty hard for him. He takes her off to his mountain castle where he appears to live alone with only 2 servants. Rose, though, has a serious streak of adventure in her and when the bear shows up to get their answer, she grabs a hidden knapsack and takes off with him. But the father and her brother, Neddy, are absolutely against it (well, hello! who wouldn’t be?). The mother, who is incredibly superstitious, thinks Rose should go. Her older sister gets sick and looks to be on her way out of this life, when a giant white talking bear (go with it) shows up and says, “If you’ll give me Rose, Sara will live and, oh yeah, your life of penury will be over and you will all be rich and happy.” The story is this: Rose is the eighth child of a farming family. Because, of course, I can’t be thinking too hard or anything. Also, it simplified my life to think of it as a Beauty and the Beast spin-off. Raise those eyebrows as high as you can). Looking at the Wikipedia entry on it, I can see some of the differences between East and the original (oh yeah, I went to grad school where we talked non-stop about judging the quality of websites, and I still turn to Wikipedia first thing. If you are, congratulations, you are far smarter than I am). 8 of 10: East is a solidly good book, although maybe a smidge too long.Įast by Edith Pattou is a retelling of the fairy tale East of the Sun and West of the Moon (if you aren’t familiar with it, don’t worry, neither was I. Īt one stage of planning, it was a trilogy with titles The Battle of the Trees, The Lion with the Steady Hand, and Little Gwion. The series was inspired by Welsh mythology and by the castles, scenery, and language of Wales, which the author experienced during World War II combat intelligence training. The book provided a title and many plot elements for the 1985 Disney animated feature The Black Cauldron. It was a Newbery Honor book in 1966, runner-up for the year's "most distinguished contribution to American literature for children". The story continues the adventures of Taran, the Assistant Pig-Keeper, as he joins in a quest to capture the eponymous Magical Cauldron from Arawn Death-Lord. The Black Cauldron (1965) is a high fantasy novel by American writer Lloyd Alexander, the second of five volumes in The Chronicles of Prydain. Children and Young Adult Literature portal. Read two excerpts from Chapter 21: The Smiles of Providence, about Colonel Johann Rall’s military leadership and what happened to the three Hessian regiments, stationed at Trenton. As Atkinson’s first volume in the Revolution Trilogy, he presents the first 21 months of the Revolutionary War with insights on British planning from the British perspective. In The British Are Coming: The War for America, Lexington to Princeton, 1775-1777, bestselling author Rick Atkinson characterizes Rall and the formidable forces at Trenton in 1777 in context with military affairs starting with the battles at Lexington and Concord in 1775. Included among the 900 captured Hessians was a group of oboists (“hautboists”), the favorite entertainment of Colonel Johann Rall, who was described by fellow officers as “an exceptional friend of music” before he was mortally wounded in Trenton, New Jersey, on Dec. At the Battle of Trenton, General George Washington’s army defeated a force of Hessian troops, German soldiers who fought alongside the British in America. Roberval – in Lambert’s words, “a dirty little muddle of bungalows and two-story commercial units that gnaw away at a portion of the Lac Saint-Jean shoreline”– has drawn underemployed twentysomething Querelle from Montreal with the prospect of employment in the town sawmill, but he soon finds himself a central participant in a bitter strike. The Montreal writer takes the tribute further, too: Shifting the scene from a port city in Brittany to a logging town in northern Quebec, reimagining the original’s vision but respecting his essence, he shows himself a worthy heir to Genet’s project of giving the public morality of the day a thoroughly subversive seeing-to. It’s a direct homage to Jean Genet and his 1947 novel, Querelle of Brest – a work perhaps best known in the non-Francophone world for a 1982 Rainer Werner Fassbinder film adaptation starring Brad Davis. If the title of Kevin Lambert’s Querelle of Roberval rings any bells, it should. George O’Connor: More like I hoped for a twelve year commitment! On the earliest pieces of artwork related to Olympians (some ideas for cover sketches I drew way back in 2008) I‘d already written “Book One of Twelve” on them. And to my infinite delight, I was able to talk to George, not simply about rounding out this epic but also about the way the series has grown and changed over the years. Who then could have predicted that it would take O’Connor until 2022 to finish this epic twelve book series? I certainly couldn’t have put a date on its ending, but I can tell you one thing: With today’s release of Dionysos: A New God, we’re seeing not just the end of a series, but an end of an era. And as each subsequent chapter in O’Connor’s Olympians series was released I gobbled it up hungrily, god by god. When Zeus: King of the Gods was released on January 5, 2010, I was there, man. But what I can state with pride is that I was into the George O’Connor Olympians series from day one, and I think that counts for something. Can’t really account for who, amongst you, might count themselves as a true scholar of Greek mythology. I was into the Greek gods before you were. I really enjoyed how Aksel and Aurora’s dynamic developed. I would totally have been annoyed with her if she was a real person but I loved her in the story. Also, King Aksel is nasty and I AM HERE FOR IT.Īurora is such a ball of sunshine and happiness. I love a single dad and this man outright adored his daughters. But, I also truly adored him when he came out of his shell and started opening up to Aurora and his babies. 10/10 would ask Aksel to wreck havoc on me. There is just something about a stoic man that wants you to let him ruin your life. I LOVED Aksel and his entire grumpy routine. This story was pretty enticing and you know I love for forbidden and angst. Okay, so this was my first ever Karina Halle book and man I loved it. But stopping as never been more difficult. They know being together is impossible that it’ll bring too many problems. The more time they spend in proximity, the more they grow closer. She gives back as good as she gets even if it’s a damn King. Aurora is not one to give up easily or let anyone trample on her respect. He can’t believe the inappropriate thoughts running through his mind so he lashes out. But one look at her and Aksel is done for. In comes, Aurora an Australian nanny tasked with taking care of the royal kids. He feels lost and helpless and as a father and a King, he needs all the help he can get. King Aksel has suffered tragedy after tragedy, the latest being the death of his wife. With his dying breath, Torak's father tells his son of the burden that is his. Only one boy can stop it, 12 year old Torak, who has seen his father murdered by the bear. Until an ambitious and malevolent force conjures a demon, a demon so evil that it can be contained only in the body of a ferocious bear that will slay everything it sees, a demon determined to destroy the world. They know every tree and herb and they know how to survive in a time of enchantment and powerful magic. Thousands of years ago the land is one dark forest.
