Cinderella at least shows up at the ball all pretty and made up Cinder is stuck with grease-stained clothing and a metal foot. Hmph.) DiscussionĬinder is a heroine whose life seems to be worse than that of Cinderella. (Not that that makes me angry or anything. Throughout the tests and the politics, Cinder learns more about herself and her past than ever before, and I don’t know how this story ends because THERE’S A CLIFFHANGER. Meanwhile, Cinder’s stepsister has been infected by the fatal plague that has spread across Earth, and Cinder’s grief-stricken stepmother volunteers Cinder to be a test subject in hopes of finding a cure before it’s too late. When the handsome Prince Kai comes to visit her shop and requests that Cinder fix his android, Cinder is inevitably thrown into the political turmoil between the Eastern Commonwealth (along with the rest of Earth) and the moon, where the powerful and mind-manipulating Lunars live. Linh Cinder is the best mechanic in New Beijing, and she also happens to be a cyborg with an evil stepmother. Category: ( Young Adult) Fantasy / Dystopia Introduction But the main reason is that the plot alone won’t be what compels you to continue with the series. First one being these are not standalone books and they tell a full, continuous story so talking about some details would spoil the books. Though this is a series review, I don’t plan on talking much about the plot for a few reasons. After such an emotional reading journey, how can I possibly pick up another book and expect to move on? I can’t, and there is no book that can save me from this book hangover. It’s true these books broke my heart, but in the best way possible: not by wearing it down but by filling it with so much love for these characters it bursts. Yet it’s not a reading experience I would ever change. It is both a blessing and a curse to have read these books for I will always have this eternal ache in my heart that can never be soothed, names such as Tessa, Will, and Jem will immediately remind me of these characters and the tears will well fast. My puny heart just wasn’t made to process a story so epic and grand such as this one. No matter how much I thought I was emotionally prepared to take on this series, I wasn’t. At the centre of this meticulously well-told tale is Ovid's encounter with a wild boy, brought up among the deer in the snow. David Malouf, a spare and delicate writer, presents here the first-person story of the Roman poet Ovid's exile in the distant, frosty wastes.hypnotic in its gripping accumulation of detail, its gradual unwrapping of human reality amid what at first seems a barbarian and unknowable environment. This is a scarce edition of the author's second book. Book has a slightly dusty top edge but no other wear. An Imaginary Life interweaves the imagined world of Maloufs writing with the reality of places and experiences that have inspired him. Very attractive marbled blue and yellow wraps and laid in 'etching by Rembrandt 1646'. Dark blue boards with bordered gilt titles to the spine. First Edition/First Printing (1 in number line on copyright page). First printing in this 'collected edition'. The novel not only represents the Australian emptiness and its social life but also reflects the religious intensity and metaphysical strain of his characterization, marked by allegorical and symbolical motifs. Yet Morrison manages to imbue the wreckage of her characters' lives with compassion, humanity, and humor. Just as Sethe finds the past too painful to remember, and the future just "a matter of keeping the past at bay," her story is almost too painful to read. Woven into this circular, mesmerizing narrative are the horrible truths of Sethe's past: the incredible cruelties she endured as a slave, and the hardships she suffered in her journey north to freedom. The woman is Sethe, and the novel traces her journey from slavery to freedom during and immediately following the Civil War. At the center of Toni Morrison's fifth novel, which earned her the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, is an almost unspeakable act of horror and heroism: a woman brutally kills her infant daughter rather than allow her to be enslaved. Set in rural Ohio several years after the Civil War, this profoundly affecting chronicle of slavery and its aftermath is Toni Morrison's greatest novel, a dazzling achievement, and the most spellbinding reading experience of the decade. finds his old slave friend Sethe in Ohio and moves in with her and her daughter Denver, a strange girl comes along by the name of "Beloved." Sethe and Denver take her in and then strange things begin to happen. Schwarzman Building - Berg Collection Room 320ĭetails Description 275 pages 24 cm.

I’ll keep this review a little cryptic because anything I say has the potential to be a spoiler. She survives on coffee, loves collecting offensive coffee mugs, and is an unashamed bibliophile. It’s a lot to process and I know many readers will feel the same! Rostek is a wife and mother by day and a writer by night. I just want some answers! I want to know if her stalker will ever get her or if a certain someone will take her away. Hopefully it won’t continue to spiral as it is right now because that could get on my nerves LOL. Some of it I found to be a little overboard because there was so much happening to her, but I am curious to see how it all comes together in the next book. She’s lucky to have these boys to fall back on but having 3 people after her is enough to cause serious issues in her life. Save Me, book 2 in the WITSEC series follows Shi and the Stone brothers as they not only enter in a relationship together but fight off the demons that are following them as well. If any of these things appeals to you then read on. It’s a little dark as there is a serial killer after the heroine and contains a reverse harem romance which means our heroine has more than one love interest (they all happen to be brothers). This series must be read in order as it follows the same characters.
