For she's hiding an extraordinary technological secret, one which might destroy her station and its way of life. As she sinks deeper into this seductive yet unfamiliar culture, Mahit engages in intrigues of her own. It is a bit disappointing that this book has apparently had multiple issues. Like others have said, printing issues are more common than we would like to think. ![]() She must also somehow stop the Empire from annexing her fiercely independent colony. My hardcover copy of A Memory Called Empire is just plain missing a signature of pages from page 400 to page 433. Mahit must navigate the capital's deadly halls of power, while hunting the killer.

I’m still not even completely certain if my ultimate rating is accurate. My feelings are also all tied up because a very small moment in this book has a massive effect on not only this series, but also the Mercy Thompson series which I have been reviewing here. I’ll try to discuss that a bit in the beginning to lend some context to this review. For one thing, I have read all of the other books in this series, but they were all before Kate and I started this blog, so the progression of my feelings for this particular series isn’t already documented. Review: This is going to be a really challenging review to write. Now Charles and Anna must use their skills–his as enforcer, hers as peacemaker–to track down the attackers, reopening a painful chapter in the past that springs from the darkest magic of the witchborn… Heading into the mountainous wilderness, they interrupt the abduction of the wolf–but can’t stop blood from being shed. With their Alpha out of the country, Charles and Anna are on call when an SOS comes in from the fae mate of one such wildling. Close enough to the Marrok’s pack to have its support far enough away to not cause any harm. ![]() For their own good, they have been exiled to the outskirts of Aspen Creek, Montana. The werewolves too damaged to live safely among their own kind.

This past week, I found myself reading Rupi Kaur’s books like I had exams on them. ![]() ![]() ![]() I learnt a lot about WW2 history, I like how the book is not one sides, it tells the story from the German teens, Hitler Youth, British and Jewish point of view. I hope we get another book in the series. operation, the notion of a pump, or source of replenished coherent atoms to. He told them he loved his country and wanted to win the war just like they did the Germans, only the german leader was a lunatic lol. the all-optical creation of a Bose-Einstein condensate in rubidium vapor. I liked the British Pilot, he was funny, he was captured by the pirates but they helped him escape if he took a 6 year old Jewish Girl with him. ![]() I read the first edition for English class at middle school, I enjoyed that, the story is the same here but the cover is different and it has been edited better, I forgot how emotional the story was, one minute you are laughing at Grandpa Gunthrie a lovable old man who gets up to mischief poaching and buying and selling goods on the black market he is one of the Pirates Grandpa, the next you are laughing at what the Edelweiss Pirates did to the Nasty Hitler Youth, the next is very sad when the Pirates witness a very dramatic event that the Nazi's do to a Jewish woman and her baby. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Tacitus the agricola and germania![]() ![]() (iv) Histories (probably issued in parts from 105 onwards), a great work originally consisting of at least twelve books covering the period 69-96 CE, but only Books I-IV and part of Book V survive, dealing in detail with the dramatic years 69-70. (iii) Dialogue on Oratory ( Dialogus), of unknown date a lively conversation about the decline of oratory and education. (ii) Germania (98-99), an equally important description of the geography, anthropology, products, institutions, and social life and the tribes of the Germans as known to the Romans. ![]() Works: (i) Life and Character of Agricola, written in 97-98, specially interesting because of Agricola's career in Britain. Close friend of the younger Pliny, with him he successfully prosecuted Marius Priscus. After four years' absence he experienced the terrors of Emperor Domitian's last years and turned to historical writing. He became an orator, married in 77 a daughter of Julius Agricola before Agricola went to Britain, was quaestor in 81 or 82, a senator under the Flavian emperors, and a praetor in 88. ![]() Tacitus (Cornelius), famous Roman historian, was born in 55, 56 or 57 CE and lived to about 120. ![]() ![]() ⤷Random intentionally "bitchy" characters are used and I'm over it. 》For the love of god, I'm sick of unnecessary drama/side characters that are merely used for that purpose. It would be nice to see a heroine that's badass/tough where the author makes them cool & collected or even sweet. I don't care that they're deemed "bitchy," BUT be more original. ⤷They make them these "bitchy" chicks that seem to hate everyone. 》 Authors want to write badass/tough heroines, yet they fail more times than I count. 》 I just want to add, I've read my fair share of RH and feel this review was fair bc compared to a lot, this wasn't so great.īut dear lord, this was not good.here's why: ![]() Sometimes I think that I might be a harsh reviewer, especially since my reviews are subjective and made up by some arbitrary rules I have in my head w. ![]() ─I am indeed a sucker for a pretty cover and I've let myself down again─ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Jason Bourne finally discovers the truth about his past and confronts his creators in The Bourne Ultimatum. He is just a guy trying to find out who he really is and people keep getting in his way. Nor is he trying to save some hostages that just happen to include his wife and/or daughter. He isn't chasing down a villain who is set on world domination. Jason Bourne (played by Matt Damon) is entirely different. Now don't get me wrong, I love John McClane and John Rambo, but they are basically the same hero with different occupations. What I love about the Bourne series is that it is different from all the other action movies that I have seen. Then I get angrier as the more I try to come up with reasons for a sequel, the more I realize that a sequel could wreck everything that we have come to know and love about Bourne. Joy that I can now without hesitation add Jason Bourne to my list of all time greatest action heroes, while at the same time feeling sadness that this will most likely be the last time we see Bourne tearing it up on screen. Walking out of The Bourne Ultimatum I was torn between extreme joy and extreme sadness. The Bourne Ultimatum: An Amazing End To An Amazing Trilogy ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Bronwyn by Grace J. Croy![]() ![]() She held her magic tightly and herself even tighter. This was really cute! I felt bad for Bronwyn, she was so careful with herself, never letting anyone really see her feelings or opinions. Suddenly love and trouble in equal measures are surrounding the young people and Bronwyn’s magic is pushing at her. However, the arrival of Rion and Lynessa Torr to visit the Mansfield parsonage destroys her orderly life. She is able to experience the elegance, magic, and society of Mansfield, safe from the incident that drove her from her family and home and her magic that caused it. ![]() Though her life is tedious and monotonous, it also allows her to keep her magic under strict control. I have actually not read Mansfield Park, but I did enjoy Bronwyn! Bronwyn lives off of her uncle’s charity as her aunt’s companion at Mansfield Park. Another fun Magical Regency novel, Bronwyn is a retelling of Mansfield Park. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments The deed of paksenarrion![]() ![]() "Munchkins", of course, would play them simply for the sake of their Special Powers and ignore all the restrictions and requirements of the character class. ![]() Often depicted as the classic Knight in Shining Armor, Paladins in RPGs often were played as either Lawful Stupid (so goody-two-shoes that they could be easily suckered into lethal confrontations), or as arrogant Knights Templar, well-intentioned extremists willing to go to ANY lengths to accomplish what they believed were their goals and commandments from their people. The Paladin: one of the most commonly reviled or mocked character classes in Dungeons and Dragons, a Paladin is a warrior who fights for the sake of their deity, gaining certain mystical abilities from their god in return. ![]() |
