(Although, no disrespect to Levine-we love this book-but Tolkien really went all out. What Levine has done here isn't so different, and she even has invented languages to prove it. Like, Tolkien constructed a convincingly historical and mythical setting for The Lord of the Rings, complete with invented languages and ballads and all.

![]() *notably, I was onto the Ben and Theo plot lines from the beginning. I may have also rolled my eyes (hard) and done a few loud, huffy sighs. In short (and I’ll keep it short as the book was so wretchedly long), The Lake House was too contrived had far too many convenient parallels between the heroines of the 1930s story and the 2003 story had a stupid number of coincidences had too many words and had a ludicrous ending that made me mutter “For God’s sake…”. Morton’s descriptions of the house, the garden and the family as they prepare for a grand Midsummer’s Eve party were appealing however things quickly stalled. The story opens in the 1930s, at a large estate in Cornwall. With Ham’s words in the back of my mind, Morton’s mentions of this, that and the other* were like beacons, alerting me to exactly how things would play out. ![]() It’s a dual mystery, yo-yoing between the 1930s and 2003 – there’s lots of complicating family secrets and missing (possibly dead) people. ![]() I was reminded of Ham’s comment as I slogged through 593 pages of Kate Morton’s The Lake House. She used the example of a novel beginning with a husband making mention that he loves his wife – Ham’s first thought is “Well, she’ll be dead by the end of this book!” ![]() When I saw the author Rosalie Ham speak earlier this year, she mentioned that she never reads novels while she is writing one – the reason being, she becomes highly attuned to structure and spots plot tricks everywhere. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Like at all.įollow Arnold on his hilarious journey as he stubbornly comes to grips with his new reality and tries to change his destiny from that of your typical farmer. There is just one small problem: farmers don't gain experience from killing monsters. ![]() Now stuck on a new earth, in a new universe, with no way home, Arnold must use his gaming skills to figure out how to level his farmer class to 100 and gain a second class which doesn't make him want to beat his head against the wall. That standard procedure doesn't apply to Arnold. It could be a bad joke, but apparently, it happens so often that they have a standard procedure for returning you. He’s certainly not the chosen one who is there to save the world. What do you have when you blend a pinch of litrpg, a touch of farming simulator, a sprinkle of epic fantasy, a whole cup of Isekai, and a dash of Home Alone?Īccidentally murdered by a cleric in another universe during a botched resurrection, Arnold, a semi-pro gamer, wakes upon an altar to find himself incarnated into the overweight body of a farmer who could have been his fatter twin. ![]() ![]() Teamworkĭespite having limited resources, Mr Fox is willing to work with other animals to succeed, eventually leading to their victory over the farmers.

There is actual, abrasive, raw character development. Pen’s personalities are very psychological which is what makes this collection stand out from others in the style. ![]() Sometimes this collection (the last 2 publications in particular) has made me anxious. Which can be discomfiting and a little scary. All of us have light and darkness within us. ![]() Possibly it’s less complicated to see everything as simply good or negative, with no shades of grey in between? Possibly that’s why we stay in a culture that has expanded significantly unforgiving when individuals make errors or are viewed as less than ideal? What I like about this series by Penelope Douglas is that she faces the reality: individuals are complicated.

This time, she knows of a secret weapon that can stop the ancient god and his army of demons. And when Apollo sends a new plague to destroy what remains of her people, she refuses to stand by and watch him take everything she loves from her again. But she will not let anyone rule her life. Medea was born the granddaughter of the Greek god Apollo, and among the first of his people that he cursed to die.

The world needs startups as an engine to both envision and create the future. ![]() But, because resources are not infinite, globalization needs to be accompanied by new technologies to make the consumption of goods more efficient and sustainable, or else global ills will result. One way to move from "one to n" is globalization, or enabling new markets to access something that has already been created.Creating truly innovative technology requires progressing from "zero to one" rather than from "one to n." This means creating something entirely new rather than incrementally adding to what already exists. ![]() ![]() ![]() With his debut novel, The Grace of Kings, taking the literary world by storm, Ken Liu now shares his finest short fiction in The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories. ![]() A publishing event: Best-selling author Ken Liu selects his award-winning science fiction and fantasy tales for a groundbreaking collection - including a brand-new piece exclusive to this volume. ![]() |
