Ten Amber novels were written by Roger Zelazny. Nobles of the Courts of Chaos who have traversed the Logrus are similarly able to travel through Shadows. While traveling (shifting) between Shadows, they can alter reality or create a new reality by choosing which elements of which Shadows to keep or add, and which to subtract. Members of the royal family of Amber, after walking in a Pattern that is central to Amber, can travel freely through the Shadows. The Courts of Chaos are situated at the very edge of an abyss. These shadows, including Earth, are parallel worlds that exist in - and were created from - the tension between the opposing magical forces of Amber and Chaos. ![]() ![]() The Amber stories take place in two contrasting "true" worlds, Amber and Chaos, and in shadow worlds (Shadows) that lie between the two. Four additional prequel books, authorized by the Zelazny estate following his death, were authored by John Gregory Betancourt. Additionally, there are a number of Amber short stories and other works. The main series consists of two story arcs, each five novels in length. The Chronicles of Amber is a series of fantasy novels by American writer Roger Zelazny.

I was supposed to write this review a month ago but life happened and the right moment did not seem to materialize. ![]() A grotesque and comical allegory and a surreal representation of contemporary society run amok, Under the Skin was internationally received as the arrival of an exciting talent, rich and assured. What happens to her victims next is only part of a terrifying reality.Īt once humane and horrifying, Under the Skin takes us on a heart-thumping ride through dangerous territory: our own moral instincts and the boundaries of compassion. Scarred and awkward, yet strangely erotic and threatening, Isserley listens to her passengers as they open up to her, revealing clues about who might miss them should they disappear-and then she strikes. ![]() ![]() She herself is tiny-like a kid peering up over the steering wheel. Hailed as "original and unsettling, an Animal Farm for the new century" (Wall Street Journal), this debut novel lingers long after the last page has been turned.Ī "fascinating psychological thriller" (Baltimore Sun), this entrancing novel introduces Isserley, a female driver who scouts the Scottish Highlands for male hitchhikers with big muscles. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Rupp’s Comics has a long history of Free Comic Book Day, starting in 2006, just four years after Free Comic Book Day began, and it has been a town treasure ever since. There was an assortment that anyone could get excited about, with comics featuring the Smurfs, Dog Man and the League of Misfits (a spinoff from Dav Pilkey’s "Captain Underpants Series"), Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends to Fright Night, Red Sonja, Star Trek, Star Wars, and even Conan the Barbarian. That way, when a parent comes in, they know what’s appropriate. on top of the hill, everything was separated from G, PG, T up to R rated. Not just kids but people of all ages,” Rupp said. “To me, the whole purpose behind Free Comic Book Day is to come and try comics.

The records they keep in The Book of Lost Names will become even more vital when the resistance cell they work for is betrayed and Rémy disappears. But erasing people comes with a price, and along with a mysterious, handsome forger named Rémy, Eva decides she must find a way to preserve the real names of the children who are too young to remember who they really are. Finding refuge in a small mountain town in the Free Zone, she begins forging identity documents for Jewish children fleeing to neutral Switzerland. Only Eva holds the answer-but will she have the strength to revisit old memories and help reunite those lost during the war?Īs a graduate student in 1942, Eva was forced to flee Paris after the arrest of her father, a Polish Jew. Now housed in Berlin’s Zentral- und Landesbibliothek library, it appears to contain some sort of code, but researchers don’t know where it came from-or what the code means. ![]() ![]() The book in the photograph, an eighteenth-century religious text thought to have been taken from France in the waning days of the war, is one of the most fascinating cases. The accompanying article discusses the looting of libraries by the Nazis across Europe during World War II-an experience Eva remembers well-and the search to reunite people with the texts taken from them so long ago. ![]() ![]() I loved everything about it.Ĥ stars: Great book. I want to keep them at a manageable length so that anyone reading my reviews can get an idea of what they might get out of reading the book, but always being sure to never give too much away about the story.ĥ stars: Perfect. I also try to not have my reviews be too long. I try to keep my review to discussing two to four things I liked (or disliked) about the book.

In the lands of Bethel, where the Prophet’s word is law, Moore is the product of a taboo interracial union that has marked her for eternal shame. ![]() Her novel thrives so well due to her love of dark fantasy and her vividly crafted storytelling skills. Currently, Henderson lives in Charleston, South Carolina. To that end, she loves painting and watching horror movies with her feline familiar. She grew up in one of America’s most haunted cities - Savannah, Georgia - which inspired her love of ghost stories. Henderson is a speculative fiction writer who focuses on dark fantasy, witchcraft, and cosmic horror. Well, at least not without breaking all of the rules first. In this Handmaid’s Tale-like society, protagonist Imannuelle Moore is unjustly cursed and cannot escape her ill-fated destiny. ![]() ![]() ![]() In other words, cultural (a preferable term to civilisational) aspects shape societies' worldviews, but culture is not an impermeable barrier to a wider model of order that can bring different regimes together. ![]() "In our time the quest for world order will require relating the perceptions of societies whose realities have largely been self-contained," Kissinger argues. Kissinger notes that when he told Chinese premier Zhou Enlai that China seemed mysterious, Zhou pointed out that China was not at all mysterious to 900 million of his compatriots. This may sound like Samuel Huntington's idea of the "clash of civilisations", but actually it is more like a bracing mixture of Metternichian pragmatism and – more unexpectedly – Edward Said's critique of "Orientalism". Four specific conceptions of "order" attract most of his attention: the European system, specifically its Westphalian model of sovereign states with equal status within the system an Islamic system based on a wider idea of an ummah, or community a Chinese system based on traditional ideas of the Middle Kingdom as a great regional power and the American order, finding a new purpose a century ago under Woodrow Wilson, eventually dominant across the globe, and now under unprecedented pressure. The book circles much of the globe, covering India, Europe, China and the Middle East. ![]() ![]() Of course, I'm as in love as ever with Edward Elric. ![]() I'm so excited to see more of him, and I suspect the manga might just give him even more depth. I'm so happy we got to meet one of my favorite characters, Mister Ling himself. ![]() I was actually laughing out loud during some pages and tearing up 5 pages later, without it feeling forced at all. And I can't wait for it.įMA truly is the one manga that will make me go through every kind of emotion. In other words, I can also say : shit is gonna go down. We delve deeper into a more complex, more psychological, more political part of the plot, especially with the later chapters of the volume. Every detail, every piece of dialogue makes sense and actually brings something to the story. I didn't even think it was possible, but I think I'm enjoying the manga even more than the anime. ![]() The plot is so well woven, every page flows incredibly well and it's a real pleasure to read it. Even with "slower" volumes like this one, the quality just never weakens. ![]() |
