![]() ![]() I loved the first book in Eva's latest series. I was given this audiobook as a gift and am voluntarily writing my review. The narration is brilliantly performed by Amber Lee Connors and Adam Gold, they brought the story to life and made every emotion felt. Who can be trusted? Will they ever be free? The book ended on a cliffhanger meaning we have to wait for the next book to find any answers. The Shadowblood were created by experimentation using human and Shadow Kind DNA Riva and the guys just want to be normal and live free, they hate their differences and would love to have them taken away but is that going to be possible? The story had me gripped from beginning to end and took me on a rollercoaster ride where every emotion was evoked by what they must face. The thought of escape and getting back to her guys is all that keeps her going and she dreams of a time when everything between her guys and the guys can go back to how it was before their escape attempt. ![]() ![]() Riva is forced to exist alone, the only time she leaves her prison cell is to fight in vicious cage fights. This first book is a real emotional rollercoaster telling how Riva and her guys were brought up together but then separated for years after a failed escape attempt which resulted in the death of one of the guys. Having devoured the previous books Eva has written about the Shadow Kind I was intrigued to read this new series about Riva and her best friends who are Shadow Kind. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Needless to say after finishing "The Book of Atrus" I had fairly high expectations for this series going forward.

Erin Templeton, local luminary and Dean at Converse University. Guggenheim Fellow in English Literature Devoney Looser reintroduces the world to the Porter sisters in her new biography, Sister Novelists. Join us on Zoom on Monday, November 7th at 6pm ET to hear from the author, who will be in conversation with Dr. The Porter sisters' legacy was eclipsed by Scott's fame. These two trailblazing writers have been largely forgotten to history: childhood friend Sir Walter Scott was given credit for their literary invention, and never publicly acknowledged the sisters' work as his inspiration. ![]() You probably haven't heard of the Porter sisters, but you should have! Jane and Anna Maria Porter were contemporaries of Jane Austen who wrote 26 novels between them and rose to global fame, socializing among the rich and famous and falling dramatically in and out of love-all the while saving their papers, reasonably expecting that their legacy would live on.Įxcept, it didn't. ![]() ![]() ![]() Layers of history are unfurled and innumerable stories are woven together to create a sensitive and revelatory portrait of this mysterious country. The story of modern Burma is told through the voices of the people Eimer encounters: former political exiles, squatters in Yangon's shanty towns, radical monks, Rohingya refugees, princesses and warlords, and ethnic minorities clustered along Burma's frontiers. Setting out from Yangon, David Eimer travels through this enigmatic nation, from the tropical south to the Burmese Himalayas in the far north. Eimer reveals a country where temples take priority over infrastructure, fortune tellers thrive and golf courses are carved out of war zones. Nothing is straightforward in this captivating land-home to a combustible mix of races, religions and resources. In 2015, a historic election swept an Aung San Suu Kyi-led civilian government to power and was supposed to usher in a new golden era of democracy and progress, but Burma remains unstable and undeveloped, a little-understood country. ![]() Eimer sides with the locals by using its original name, refusing to let the nation's history be rewritten. ![]() At this time, Burma became Myanmar without local accord. David Eimer journeys to the heart of Burma and out to its unexplored vistas, bringing to vivid life all its riches and complexities.įor almost fifty years Burma was ruled by a paranoid military dictatorship and isolated from the outside world. ![]() |
