While still allowing you to explore that strangest of creatures in all creation, humanity, and the darkness and light at its heart. I like the fantasy genre's and like to write in them simply because they enable you to tell more interesting stories and explore them in ways that other genres just don't allow. Stories are what interest me, stories explain the human experience, humanity has been telling itself stories since long before they invented the written word after all.

The mansion is crumbling, icy winds haunt the caved-in halls, and her eccentric host forbids her from leaving her room after dark. So when a letter arrives from a reclusive lord, asking Wren to come to his estate, Colwick Hall, to cure his servant from a mysterious illness, she seizes her chance to redeem herself. Wren Southerland’s reckless use of magic has cost her everything: She's been dismissed from the Queen’s Guard and separated from her best friend - the girl she loves. Her intensifying pace and warm tone perfectly express the slow-burn romance that blooms between Wren and Hal as they work together to save their kingdoms."

Those suffering from eye-rolling vampire fatigue will laugh out loud at the way Larbalestier and Brennan skewer the more annoying tropes of the genre but vampire devotees will still find a vampire story here, that plays by the rules and gives them something to latch on to. Who would we give it to? What’s great about this book is that it’s going to appeal to both sides of a crowd – the vampire-lovers and the vampire-haters. This book succeeds both on the character level (Mel, with her sassy attitude and self-determination is absolutely a Slatebreaker) and on a larger commentary level, as it takes to task some of the less Slatebreaking elements in – ahem – some of the more popular vampire fiction out there. That said, I still took the book jacket off when I read it in public.ĭoes it Break the Slate? Totally. From the font to the standard love pose (populated though, not by the two men vying for Mel’s affection, but by the lovesick Francis and Cathy), this cover winks at the joke while still appreciating the genre – much like the book itself. Genre: Urban Fantasy / Speculative Fictionįace Value: This cover is cheesy, and conforms to a fair number of stereotypes, but it also sort of feels like it’s in on the joke. Team Human by Justine Larbalestier and Sarah Rees Brennan. She is a complicated woman who is by turns vulnerable, tough, and combative. In just over 100 pages, Rocklyn manages to create a surprisingly complex small-scale society, well-developed characters, and a rich, engrossing story. I don’t want to say much about the story since it is quite short, and I think doing so would veer dangerously toward spoiler territory, so we’ll just focus on the writing. Between this and Mira Grant’s Into the Drowning Deep, I’m in my happy place. I’ve been on a tales-by-sea kick lately, and from the moment I picked Flowers for the Sea up, I was hooked. But I wanted to make sure to get this one done as soon as possible because I LOVED IT SO MUCH. And I still have a massive pile of stuff awaiting review. Who the hell am I? Have I been body-snatched? Well, look at me getting an ARC review out before the publication date. A post shared by Angie – Stranger Sights My Thoughts: You can listen below (it may take a moment to appear) or download here. Wells helped develop the science fiction genre with this novel alone and it has stood the test of time as it is still one of the premier science fiction stories today. In fact, there is nothing to improve in a story that is already well written and ties all the plots perfectly. The Time Machine story has been adapted to many mediums but has never really been improved upon. Using his time machine, the scientist is able to bear witness to the end of human civilization and even the start of the end of the world. The audiobook tells his story as he travels into the far flung future, the year 802,701 AD to be exact and even further ahead. The story revolves around a scientist that is only known as The Time Traveler. This audiobook is an essential for collectors of science fiction or those simply wanting to enjoy a classic and smartly written adventure tale. The outer narrator, Hillyer, briefly sets the scene for the much longer inner narrative, the Time Traveler’s story about his experiences in the future. The Time Machine is one of the greatest science fiction/fantasy adventure stories that elevated this genre to new heights. Wells is given new life in the form of this free audiobook edition.

Even though research spawned by the women's movement indicated the benefits to women of a ""room of their own,"" few young women remained interested in applying to women's colleges. Most people no longer believed women's colleges were necessary since women had virtually unlimited access to higher education. The admission of women to practically all men's colleges created a serious challenge for women's colleges. In the mid-twentieth century colleges' concerns about finances and enrollments, as well as ideological pressures to integrate formerly separate social groups, led men's colleges, and some women's colleges, to become coeducational. Still, many prestigious institutions remained single-sex, notably most of the Ivy League and all of the Seven Sisters colleges. Women's academic successes and their persistent struggles to enter men's colleges resulted in coeducation rapidly becoming the norm, however. Women's colleges originated in the mid-nineteenth century as a response to women's exclusion from higher education. |
