Tamora pierce shatterglass6/29/2023 Her fans will undoubtedly clamor for further updates on her likable young mages and their fascinating world. But Pierce ( Lady Knight, 2002, etc.) more than makes up for these deficiencies with her appealing, well-rounded characters. There really isn’t much of a mystery here, since the eventual murderer turns out to be a total unknown, and the pace is too leisurely and repetitive to create much suspense. Meanwhile, Tharios is being stalked by a serial killer and as the authorities worry more about avoiding ritual pollution than catching a murderer, Keth’s magic just might supply the key to stopping his rampage. Instead, she bumps into Keth, a journeyman glassmaker, whose untrained powers over glass and lightning accidentally create a miniature living glass dragon, whom Tris delightedly adopts less cheerfully, she takes on tutoring Keth in his dangerous magic, and he is equally reluctant to take lessons from a child years his junior. A magical conference in exotic Tharios (which resembles a cross between the intellectual sophistication of Athens and the caste-ridden otherworldliness of India) seems a promising venue to learn some marketable magic. With control over earthquakes, lightning, volcanoes, and tides, the plump bespectacled pepperpot Tris may be one of the most powerful mages in the world but the 14-year-old’s practical mind is more concerned about earning a living. Pierce continues her successful blend of high fantasy, grisly suspense, and wry social commentary in this conclusion to the second series starring her quartet of adolescent mages.

Genre: Dystopian, Fantasy, Paranormal, Romance, Science Fiction Published by: Disney Hyperion on December 18, 2012 If Gwen Stefani and Pink became super heroes (which many could argue they already are), they’d be Fletcher and Wu’s Black Canary. It’s really good.”,īrenden Fletcher and Annie Wu’s take on Black Canary is as punk rock as you could get. “The new Lil’ Depressed Boy issue by Sina Grace is really good. “Black Canary” issue 1 is a DC Comics superhero story told in a very un-DC/un-superhero like way. Not only are the stories more representative of the world we live in and featuring prominent characters of all ethnicities, but the approach to storytelling and art is more consistent with the kind of stories readers are favoring now. With week three of DC Comics titles, post- Convergence and under the DC YOU initiative, it’s easy to spot this new approach they’re taking with their lineup. “Black Canary” issue 1, first and foremost, doesn’t look like your normal mainstream comic book. Odium II by Claire C. Riley6/29/2023 Michael well, he is a kick ass soldier but a bit of a douche. Rachel is totally cuckoo, deluded by her warped reasoning, Nova is someone I think Nina will come to love as that girl companion she has needed for so long. New characters are a plenty some play a big role and some revelations that going forward change the path our leads are going to take. This is what I love most about this series as it was something outside of my norm Claire's writing and the humanity she inserts behind her words to develop her characters is outstanding and you can't help but enjoy these books! New camp and new camp mates bring new challenges and a new dynamic between Mikey and Nina, she is finally realising she actually likes him by her side, they rely on each other and it's warming her cold black heart. Nina, Mikey and Emily make their escape from the Forgotten, we meet a host of new characters at the encampment they find themselves at. I find it refreshing that she isn't the perfect heroine, she doesn't try to be nice and she isn't afraid to let her b*tch show after all that's just who she is. Again this book captivated me, I love Claire's narrative when it comes to Nina. Odium II carries on from where we left Nina, Mikey and Emily after they are captured by the Forgotten.
