![]() ![]() The plot is wonderful and a great mystery. The secondary characters al so add to the story and make this a great read just from the character standpoint. His build up is interesting and really adds to the story line. Bryant is handsome and mys terious and I like how he feels about Min and how he falls for her. ![]() She's a klutz and amusing and not a typical d ebutant e. I was enthralled and couldn't stop reading and then as I got to know Min and Bryant I could n ot stop reading. I really like that it dives right in a nd involves the read er in the story. The s tory starts out with a ban g introducing us to the char acters and then start s developing the characters. Not only does the plot draw you right into the book from the start with the mysterious necklace but then both the main characters shine and make you really care about the story. To Trust a Thief is quite a delightful book. ![]()

![]() It’s not all serious though, as it ends on a humorous note, and there are plenty of silly moments throughout the story, humanizing the characters and showing how they adjust to their lives.

RobinĪfter six months of training, Jason was ready to go into action as the new Boy Wonder. When Batman located him, Jason informed him about Gunn's crimes and even assisted Batman in capturing her gang, after which Jason was taken in by Batman as the new Robin at the age of 12. However, Jason soon realized Gunn conducted illegal activities with the youngsters at her "school" and he escaped. Jason was taken by Batman to a school run by Ma Gunn, hoping to reform the young man. Jason became highly skilled in stealing tires from vehicles and during one of his usual thefts, he met Batman as he stole the Batmobile's wheels.

Indeed, music occupies more areas of our brain than language does humans are a musical species. ![]() But the power of music goes much, much further. It can lift us out of depression when nothing else can. It can persuade us to buy something, or remind us of our first date. ![]() Music can move us to the heights or depths of emotion. ![]() ![]() But that’s OK I figured this is the way the author wanted to introduce him to his readers, gradually. ![]() In fact, he was a secondary character that appeared towards 65-70% of the story. ![]() Now, granted, the main character I came to love from the author’s last book, Max Rupert, was hardly in the book.In fact, he was a secondary character that appeared towards 65-70% of the story. So I went back to the beginning, The Life We Bury. Truth be told, I started Allen Eskens’ books with his latest novel, The Deep Dark Descending, and only when I finished reading it I realized that it’s, in fact, part of a series. Now, reading the Allen Eskens books in order means catching up to no less than four books with the latest published in 2017. ![]() When the book was published back in 2014, I had no idea the author even existed. The Life We Bury is the debut novel of the author Allen Eskens. ![]() ![]() ![]() Admittedly, I cracked the spine on The Care and Feeding of Waspish Widows with more than a little trepidation, fearful that there was no way I would enjoy beekeeping as much as astronomy, but the truth is that Penelope’s passion had me absolutely fascinated. Like The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics before it, this second Feminine Pursuits novel is the very definition of a slow-burn romance, full of friendship and flirting, questioning and queerness, and as much social tension as sexual. I adored Agatha and Penelope so much, I would have resented Olivia Waite for forcing us to bid them adieu if I didn’t love her so much for introducing us in the first place. ![]() The worst thing about a slow-burn romance is not the frustrated longing for that first kiss, but the melancholy certainty that such a lovely, delightful, heartwarming story must come to an end. Title: The Care and Feeding of Waspish Widows ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sorcerer of the Wildeeps is set in a mythical Africa-like continent, with a narrow range of greenlands and hills in the north that borders a sea, a wide desert that is criss-crossed with caravan trails, and then a span of trackless jungle filled with monsters that are only kept at bay by an an old, barely understood magical power. But now, well my friends NOW we live in a much better time, and Sorcerer of the Wildeeps is here to prove it. ![]() It wasn’t until the 1980s, with Charles Saunders’ Imaro series, that the category got its first Black male lead, arguably launching the Sword and Soul subgenre (though it wasn’t called that then). It is typified by a focus on a single male protagonist, fighting his way through obstacles both mundane and magical, often to regain his lost glory or to save the damsel in distress (my damsels save themselves, thank you very much). As a subgenre of Fantasy, Sword and Sorcery fiction was first categorized in the 1950s, though the origins of it are in the 1930s and before, with titles like Conan the Barbarian. ![]() The Sword and Sorcery category hasn’t really drawn my attention, until I saw the cover for Sorcerer of the Wildeeps by Kai Ashante Wilson. When I read Fantasy I generally stay on the High Fantasy side of the fence Elves and Dragons and high-faluting magic are literary staples that I love to hate, cliches and all. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you are an occasional reader of his work, then we urge you to grab a copy asap. ![]() Julian Esguerra and Nora are high-flying characters of this novel.
