![]() ![]() ![]() But it was right in the middle of that crazy ending, right before the Charyou Tree, that I caught a deeper level of foreshadowing than I ever had in previous readings. The whole wild, emotional ride goes down in the Chapter entitled, “Beneath the Demon Moon II.” That’s where Sai King really starts pulling on the old heart strings. No one could see my face, and no one was around anyway. My point is, while the scenery all around me was different than anything back home, the story was still the same, and it found its way to my heart once again. So, here I am again: though I am far from home, I’m in this most familiar of places: I live in Japan, and just this evening I found myself riding my bike on a trek across Tokyo, from Shinjuku to Kudanshita to Kiba. His cadence collides with King’s powerful prose in such a way that tugs deep at the soul strings. Often, unfortunately, I’m in public, listening to Frank Muller’s heart-wrenching, goosebump raising performance (may he rest in peace in the clearing at the end of the path). Every time I reread the Dark Tower, I well up at the end of Wizard and Glass. ![]() Well, let me tell you, I’m not ashamed to admit that the ending of the Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass always brings a tear to my eye. You may be on your first read, or as I am now, on a repeat journey (one of many and many-a, I wot). ![]()

![]() The last few chapters were pretty interesting, but it wasn’t enough to tamp my overall annoyance.īorn shrouded in the veil of the Primals, a Maiden as the Fates promised, Seraphena Mierel’s future has never been hers. Also, using phrases like “hot piece” and “lives rent free in my mind” in a story where there’s barely electricity and plumbing is straight up cringe. ![]() Giving it a C, because the characters are still wonderful, but I’m annoyed there is no new plot. I mean, I love Poppy and Casteel and Nyktos and Sera, but there is NOTHING new here. This is just the first few books rewritten with the names changed. If we’re being honest, Nyktos is literally Casteel and it’s the exact same love story. ![]() ![]() I feel like JLA could have been a little more creative here and given them some distinctive qualities, instead of just writing the exact same character twice. But the more I read, the more similar Sera and Poppy became – until they were literally the same character with zero defining features. I’ve seen so many reviews raving that this is the best book and everyone’s favorite and they like it so much more than FBAA….I’ve been lied to.Īt first I was excited to see Poppy was so similar to her grandmother and it made total sense why Nyktos had said Sera would like Poppy. ![]() Paranormal Romance published by Blue Box Romance 19 Oct 21 Kaitlyn‘s review of A Shadow in the Ember (Flesh & Fire, Book 1) by Jennifer L. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He was born in California, wears jeans, and has never even visited another country-but at the start of World War II he becomes aware that other Americans see him as a foreign enemy.

When Yuki and his friend Shig ship out, they aren’t prepared for the experiences they’ll encounter as members of the “Four-Four-Two,” a segregated regiment made up entirely of Japanese-American soldiers. ![]() But Yuki isn’t willing to sit back and accept this injustice-it’s his country too, and he’s going to prove it by enlisting in the army to fight for the Allies.

Caring for their younger siblings is chaotic and draining, a fact impressed upon readers both by heavy-handed exposition and by repetitive food disputes, bickering and belligerent outbursts from angry, defiant and reckless middle child Kit, by far the best-developed character. Their mother, an alcoholic, neglects the children, instead spending her time and money on clothing, drinking and dates with her boss. ![]() Lochan and Maya, the oldest of five siblings, narrate in alternating chapters.

It made this volume really interesting right from page one to the last page. I liked that this volume had both action and romance at a pretty even amount. Then I loved the transition into a more drama filled story that was heavily focused on relationships. ![]() It also got quite deep and tackled the idea that the law should be a right to everyone and should not be only a human right for those who are not criminals. It was also quite complex and has set up for a great story line to progress in further volumes. I enjoyed this volume even more than the first! The first major story in this volume was really action packed and exciting. The story continued on from the second volume, and had two major stories.
