![]() But now, her company has been sent back to her homeland to stop a rebellion, and the ties of blood may be stronger than she thought. Stolen as a child and raised to kill and die for the empire, her only loyalty is to her fellow conscripts. I think I could love this book too, although I’m saving my final verdict for when the trilogy is all out. One of its comp titles at some point was A Traitor Baru Cormorant, and y’all know how much I loved Baru. It’s about home, belonging, imperialism, race, and both the terrible and beautiful things human beings can do to each other. Clark is the first book of the Magic of the Lost fantasy trilogy. I feel like my relationship to this book, like the one between its main characters, is more complicated than my rating can suggest. ![]() Also Clark and Tasha Suri are currently doing an AMA on r/fantasy, in case you missed it! ![]()

![]() Indeed, there is evidence to suggest that BBC management simply regarded the production as a failure. The press also pointed out that the fact that the production was never shown in Britain rubbished any suggestion that the prevailing cause for the abandonment was to do with accents. However, as time wore on, and no reshoots materialised, the press began to speculate that the show had been cancelled entirely, and would be replaced at a later date by a completely new adaptation, which was in fact what happened. ![]() No reasons were given by the BBC for this decision, although initial newspaper reports suggested that the episode had not been abandoned, it had simply been postponed for re-shoots, due to an unspecified actor's "very heavy accent," and concerns that US audiences would not be able to understand the dialogue. The episode was shot (for £250,000), edited and even publicly announced as the opening of the series, before it was suddenly pulled from the schedule and replaced with Romeo & Juliet (which was supposed to air as the second episode). Scholars believe that there are two likely sources for part of the action in Much Ado About Nothing.The first is Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso (1532) and the second is an untitled novella by the Italian writer Mateo Bandello (1573), whose works also provided source material for some of Shakespeare’s other plays as well. ![]() ![]() The inaugural episode of BBC Shakespeare was originally set to be a production of Much Ado About Nothing, directed by Donald McWhinnie, and starring Penelope Keith and Michael York. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I hate myself for saying this, but when I read gay YA, it usually focuses on the male experience. To really boil the plot down I would say that it is a deep exploration of sexuality as in orientation, religion and gender. The third part deals with Cameron being sent to one of those de-gaying centers. Her super religious Aunt Ruth has come to stay and be Cam’s guardian. The second part takes place when Cam is in high school. Right, so the first part is the day and immediate aftermath of Cam’s parents dying and also the first day Cam kissed a girl, Irene Klauson. ![]() FYI none of these parts I am about to describe will be spoiled because all that information is kind of on the back cover. The Miseducation Of Cameron Post is divided into three parts. Danforth is a profound and affecting young adult book and one I’d absolutely recommend. The Miseducation Of Cameron Post by Emily M. It’s a wonderful thing, coming out of reading felling a sense of compassion and empathy. I love it when a book takes me by surprise, especially when I go in expecting to like it but then come out head over heels in love. ![]() ![]() ![]() Crayons, colored pencils, and/or markers.It’s also an opportunity for students to get creative!

Content Here, too, there are victories and losses, campaigns upon campaigns, heroes and hubris, survival and resilience-and inevitably, the wounded, the condemned, the forgotten, the dead. In a sense, this is a military history-one in which the adversary is formless, timeless, and pervasive. The book explains its title in its author's note: The Guardian wrote that "Mukherjee manages to convey not only a forensically precise picture of what he sees, but a shiver too, of what he feels." Literary Review commended Mukherjee's narrative: "It is so well written, and the science is so clearly explained, that it reads almost like a detective story-which, of course, it is."

Poe’s narrative technique draws us immediately into the tale. Whatever conclusion a reader reaches, none finds the story an easy one to forget. Indeed, despite Poe’s distaste for Allegory, some critics view the house as a Metaphor for the human psyche (Strandberg 705). ![]() These explanations range from the pre-Freudian to the pre–Waste Land and pre-Kafka-cum-nihilist to the biographical and the cultural. The story has a tantalizingly horrific appeal, and since its publication in Burton’s Gentleman’s Magazine, scholars, critics, and general readers continue to grapple with the myriad possible reasons for the story’s hold on the human psyche.
