Black and (A)broad: Traveling Beyond the Limitations of Identity, by Carolyn Vines Amanda also provides some fun and interesting travel stories involving visiting unique destinations like Kuwait! 2. This book is a fun and insightful read, showing what it was like to be a black air hostess for British Airways in the 90s. I initially heard about this book whilst speaking at the Black Female Travellers London event and meeting fellow panelist Amanda Epe. A Fly Girl: Travel Tales of an Exotic British Airways Cabin Crew, by Amanda Epe Check out my list of 5 travel books to read from writers of colour throughout the diaspora! 1. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is written, produced, and hosted by PACT postdoctoral researcher, Katerina Hatzikidi. ![]() ImPACT: Diálogos is an original production that is part of the ERC-funded PACT: Populism and Conspiracy Theory project at the University of Tübingen, Germany. from the University of California at Berkeley and is currently working on the contemporary co-emergences between digital media, populist politics, post-truth, and neoliberal rationalities. Letícia Cesarino is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) in Florianopolis. She elucidates the complex dynamics of the 2018 electoral campaign through, among other things, the concepts of ‘digital populism’ and ‘schismogenesis’, and a friend-enemy binary that structured its logic. ![]() In the final episode of imPACT: Diálogos, anthropologist Letícia Cesarino discusses her digital ethnographic work with Bolsonaro supporters in light of political and anthropological theory, specifically focusing on populism and conspiracy theories. ![]() ![]() When I begin to feel like I’m turning pages just to reach the end that’s when I begin to be turned off. Crystal Crowned failed to deliver with a fast paced plot. In the previous books, there were plot twists, fast-paced action, heroics, amazing stand-offs. This was not on par with the previous books. ![]() I feel like I can sum up the book’s details by naming 3 important events. ![]() She fights as the champion of peace, but when the night is darkest will she be able to pay the price of a new dawn? Fragile alliances will be tested and new bonds will be formed as the world is reshaped. Vhalla Yarl stands upon the stage of fate, prepared to do battle one final time. One bloodthirsty ruler has been overthrown by another, casting the shadow of death over the Solaris Empire. ![]() ![]() Halfway through the series I was dead set on giving it 3 stars, but the last 3rd of the book bumped it up to 4 stars for me. Thus far, each book in the series has received a 5 star rating on my end, but this book broke that trend. Crystal Crowned is the last book in the Air Awakens series by Elise Kova and I must say I have some minor criticisms about it. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, several of the books in this series can be read as standalone books, and for those of you not willing to commit to reading all 13, I've also picked my favourite (must-reads) towards the bottom of this article. Because of this, you may get more from the plot reveals if they are established at the right time in your reading. ![]() I always generally suggest reading a series in publication order, simply because this is how the author generally would have imagined them to be read. The first is the publication order, the second is the chronological order of the series, and the third is to group them by the main protagonists of the series. In this article, I outline three ways you could potentially group and read the Drenai series by David Gemmell. The Best Reading Order of the Drenai Series These books focus on singular characters and the epic quests they undertake, quests in which they will have to risk everything to succeed and that will make them legends across the lands. There are 11 books in the Drenai series with two additional ones set before the rise of the Drenai. The series focuses on a selection of heroes, mainly from the Drenai lands, and their fight against evil, whether that's a personal enemy, an existential demonic threat, or barbarian hordes. The Drenai series is a heroic fantasy series by British author David Gemmell. ![]() ![]() Wolf is so unique, maybe one of the most unique love interests I’ve ever read about. Oh, I love Winter! I love how kooky and lovable and crazy she is! It sounds weird to say that her madness makes her more lovable, but it’s true! “And the wolves all howl, ah-ooooohhh” Kai: 4.5 stars. Granted, she was better in this book, but still not enough to really see her strengths, and that made me a little upset. As much as I wanted to like her, and her relationship with Thorne, it all comes back to her inevitable swoony-ness. But I still loved her character, and how she didn’t coddle Winter like some of them did. I LOVE Scarlet, but she doesn’t get as many chapters as Cinder or Cress or Winter, which made me a little mad. (Her cyborg abilities are pretty darn awesome too. That is, a sassy, empathetic, willing-to-do-anything-to-further-the-cause type of girl that steals the show in every scene. ![]() If you mixed Katniss and Tris, you’d get someone resembling Cinder. ![]() Cinder is arguably the main heroine of the storyline, and I love her. ![]() Now for the review! Characters: Cinder: 4.8 stars. It had basically everything I look for in a book: Fantasy, romance, strong female leads, strong male leads, hate-able villain, fairy-tale mashup, and a surprisingly complex plot that ties in to all four fairy-tales perfectly. I finished the Lunar Chronicles about a week ago, and absolutely loved it. Ooohhh, I’m becoming quite the Marissa Meyer fan. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There is also the use of traditional Oriental weapons (nunchaku, escrima sticks, etc.), although the British censors in their wisdom have seen fit the cut the nunchaku sequence, and I'm afraid, like any censored movie, it just isn't the same watching when you know you aren't getting the full monty, so to speak. Unlike most martial arts films of that time the fighting is very realistic, and has a somewhat visceral quality. If you were to ask any learned martial artist I'm sure that 9 out of 10 would tell you that the fight sequences are unparalleled, even today. Its merit lies purely in the action content. Used primarily as a vehicle for the late, great Bruce Lee this movie has a thin plot, little actual character development and the acting isn't was never meant to be another Citizen Kane. Even though it is more than 25 years since Enter the Dragon was first released, to this day it is still hailed as the landmark of martial arts films. ![]() ![]() ![]() The family’s servants, their visitors, Mrs Manresa, her friend William Dodge as well as numerous characters who live in the village all appear in the narrative. The novel has no main character instead interest is diffused among generations of that family: Old Bartholomew, his sister Mrs Swithin, his son Giles, Giles’s wife Isabella and their small son George. Woolf called Between the Acts ‘Pointz Hall’ while she was writing it, the name of the ‘middle-sized’ (p.6) country house where the Oliver family live. The novel focuses on a particular day, and also on a particular location: a small English village community. Through ideas about time and memory, what is ‘now’ is seen to rest on all that has gone before. The date is important, just weeks before the start of the Second World War, while the focus on a single day allows her to explore how the whole weight of the past relates to the immediacy of the present moment. An earlier novel, Mrs Dalloway (1925), has a time span of 18 hours and in Between the Acts Woolf set herself a similar framework, ‘a June day in 1939’ ( Between the Acts, p.69). ![]() She wrote reviews, letters, diaries and she published nine novels, of which Between the Acts (1941) was the last. Virginia Woolf was an essayist, a critic, and biographer. Figure 1 Virginia Woolf, 1939, colour dye transfer print, 30 × 20 cm. ![]() Portait photograph of Virginia Woolf, with her looking into the camera. ![]() ![]() ![]() I think it was creative to have spells come from phrases that are commonly used, and if that phrase dies out, the spell loses its power as well. ![]() However, I noticed during my re-read that my thoughts are different now than they were before about the book, so I wanted a new review that would express those feelings. If you’re curious about my initial thoughts, I’ll put a link for the old post here. In 2015, I read Carry On, and I wrote a spoiler-free review for it. This isn’t my first time reading this book, or even my first time reviewing it. ![]() It has just as much kissing and talking as you’d expect from a Rainbow Rowell story – but far, far more monsters. Baz would be having a field day with all this, if he were here - it’s their last year at the Watford School of Magicks, and Simon’s infuriating nemesis didn’t even bother to show up.Ĭarry On – The Rise and Fall of Simon Snow is a ghost story, a love story and a mystery. His mentor’s avoiding him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and there’s a magic-eating monster running around, wearing Simon’s face. Half the time, Simon can’t even make his wand work, and the other half, he starts something on fire. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he’s probably right. ![]() Simon Snow is the worst Chosen One who’s ever been chosen. ![]() |
