![]() These books are often recommended for 8-10 year olds, but they were upsettingly violent in my adult opinion. That about sums up the Warriors worldview. ![]() He is quickly swept up into an atmosphere of secrets, intrigues, and frequent battles. In the first book, a pampered house cat, Rusty, runs away from his Twoleg (human) family and joins one of the four major cat tribes in the area. In the anamorphic world of Warrior, cats talk, hate, love, and form friendships. Warriors are a series of books about feral cat tribes: their wars, friendships, wars, alliances, loves, and mostly wars. When a blog reader asked for my take on these, I was happy to oblige and write a review. The middle grades are where parents often stop pre-reading their children’s books, so I try to do as many reviews of middle grade and teen books as I can. ![]() Warriors: Into the Wild and its many sequels and spin off series are popular middle grade books. ![]() ![]() That would be worse than being caught staring at my secret crush. ![]() Which they haven’t, because I am very, very good at sneaking glances at Gabe Laurent.Īt least I’m not falling asleep. Camden doesn’t need me for anything if they catch me looking their way. Luckily, he’s sitting next to my boss, Sawyer Camden. So I should stop sneaking glances at him every thirty seconds. I try to keep my eyes where they belong, on the presenter. So I try to pay attention during meetings. I’m entrusted with confidential information that some senior-level managers don’t even get to see. “Sandra, you never let me down.” I anticipate what he needs before he needs it. Camden relies on me and I never let him down. I tend to take most things seriously, but especially work. I try not to feel that way, because I take my job at Clemens Corporation seriously, and I’m grateful to be employed. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The detail with which Sanderson explores the hows and whys of allomancy in the novel, setting up a crescendo of action and adventure by its end, is a solid illustration of his own “First Law of Magics,” which posits that a writer’s capacity to resolve a story’s conflict using magic is directly correlated with readers’ understanding of how that magic works. The 2006 epic fantasy follows a pair of allomancers-individuals who ingest small amounts of metal to fuel magical abilities-as they rebel against an immortal ruler’s thousand-year reign. ![]() With Mistborn: The Final Empire, Sanderson popularized his approach to crafting complex magic systems, in which the rules that govern the extraordinary have more in common with a chemical equation than with a wave of a wand. Now, he’s one of the genre’s most beloved-and prolific-authors. Mistborn: The Final Empire wasn’t Sanderson’s first novel to find a publisherthat was 2005’s Elantris but it was the book that defined his approach to writing fantasy and set him on a path. Mistborn: The Final Empire wasn’t Sanderson’s first novel to find a publisher-that was 2005’s Elantris-but it was the book that defined his approach to writing fantasy and set him on a path toward widespread recognition. For years, Brandon Sanderson spent his nights behind the desk at a Provo, Utah hotel, churning out manuscripts that he hoped one day might take their place on shelves. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Of course, the white collar employees have a home to return to at the end of the day. Employees complaining about managment, drug testing, ineffectual and demoralizing management is as much a "white collar" (and high pay) issue as it is a "blue collar" (minimum wage) issue. Sometimes it seems that the author never held a real job in her life. If you are going to work at WallMart, don't be shocked about having to return clothes to the a rack. If you are going to try your hand making a living as a maid, you should not be surprised about having to clean toilets or carrying a vaccuum. Also, much of the writing has an "elitest" tone to it. The problem I have with the book is the editorializing, and even more so, the incessant whining of the author. Is it possible to live on a minimum wage salary? This book raises some very interesting social and political issues. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It is as if this book is just a highlight worth noting in the lives of the characters. The gap made me wonder what had happened in the story years between. A great deal of story time has passed between the first book and this one and I wondered if I had picked the third book and not the second, but this is indeed the second. Thankfully he used a few different ways to describe things here and there. In the first book it seemed every arrow fired and swipe of a sword resulted in "cloven air" or "this cum that" (bookstore cum coffee shop etc.) to explain dual purpose places or things. One of my pet peeves in any story is repetion of descriptive words, especially when there is a large supply of other words or phrases that could be used. If you felt it was so-so then perhaps you might want to skip this series and move to something else I found it took some determination to get through parts of this book. If you liked the first book in the series then you will most likely enjoy this second book. ![]() ![]() ![]() There is only one way to break the curse, and it requires a trip to the notorious Night Witch. ![]() The next morning Tor wakes up to discover a new marking on his skin.the symbol of a curse that has shortened his lifeline, giving him only a week before an untimely death. So, on the annual New Year's Eve celebration, where Emblemites throw their wishes into a bonfire in the hopes of having them granted, Tor wishes for a different power.

I know I’m just a small fish, but luckily, there are others helping make positivity louder. ![]() That’s the main reason I choose to frame most things in a positive, optimistic view. Playing on our ancient instincts, sensationalist headlines grab us right in the gut and so we click. Sadly, the most popular spins are negativity, anxiety, and fear. If you have something unique to say and give it the right spin, word can quickly travel around the world. ![]() Nowadays, there are many ways to spread your message.

While he’s part of the crowd, he’s also one of the few who get to explore their art without worrying about money. She also gets involved with Sandro Valera, a second generation industrialist whose family created the Moto Valera motorcycle. In New York Reno becomes part of an artistic crowd - some new and young, some old stalwarts. It’s also, of course, smack in the middle of the feminist revolution - and the book takes a look at women and their roles: as object, free spirit, participant, support, creator. ![]() It’s set in the 1970s, when Reno, the 23-year-old protagonist, heads to New York from the Midwest to pursue art – and ask the big questions in life. writer has released the much anticipated The Flamethrowers, a work likely to get a similar reaction as Telex From Cuba. Five years after that first 2008 book, the U.S. Rachel Kushner’s first novel Telex From Cuba, created a sensation like few first novels do - and set the bar for her career very high. Delivering a follow-up to a first novel that takes the literary world by storm, winning prizes, getting rave reviews and even making it on the front page of the New York Times Book Review would, one would think, be a uniquely intimidating experience. ![]() |
