Seraphina was contained within a sphere with Seraphina as the center and all the other characters orbiting around her. While Shadow Scale does carry on from where the narrative leaves off in the first novel, it is a very different book from Seraphina. Seraphina ended (there, a spoiler already) with Seraphina’s mixed heritage revealed to Kiggs, Glisselda and a lot of other people who were paying attention to what was happening. So if you haven’t read the first one and plan to, you may not want to read this review. Shadow Scale is a sequel to Seraphina and will most probably contain spoilers for the first book in this duology.

It fell from the cliff above in 1740 and made the Garners' cottage shake. Below another ancient well, the Holy Well, a rock lies in a bog. I didn't know that not all children played, by day and by night, the year long, on a wooded hill where heroes slept in the ground. I didn't know that it wasn't the same for everyone. I am Joseph's grandson, and I grew up on that hill, Alderley Edge in Cheshire, aware of its magic and accepting it. And why did he carve it? He carved it to mark that here is the Wizard's Well. How much older, no one knows, but it's centuries older, or even more. He carved the face above a well that is much older. About 150 years ago, my great-great-grandfather, Robert Garner, carved the face of an old man with long hair and beard in the rock of a cliff on a hill where my family has lived for at least 400 years, and still does. Hunger encompasses two of Hamsun's literary and ideological leitmotifs: The influence of naturalist authors such as Émile Zola is apparent in the novel, as is his rejection of the realist tradition. In many ways, the protagonist of the novel displays traits reminiscent of Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment the author, Fyodor Dostoevsky, being one of Hamsun's main influences. His ordeal, enhanced by his inability or unwillingness to pursue a professional career, which he deems unfit for someone of his abilities, is pictured in a series of encounters which Hamsun himself described as "a series of analyses". While he vainly tries to maintain an outer shell of respectability, his mental and physical decay are recounted in detail. Set in late 19th-century Kristiania (now Oslo), the novel recounts the adventures of a starving young man whose sense of reality is giving way to a delusionary existence on the darker side of a modern metropolis. Written after Hamsun's return from an ill-fated tour of America, Hunger is loosely based on the author's own impoverished life before his breakthrough in 1890. Hunger portrays the irrationality of the human mind in an intriguing and sometimes humorous manner. The novel has been hailed as the literary opening of the 20th century and an outstanding example of modern, psychology-driven literature. Hunger ( Norwegian: Sult) is a novel by the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun published in 1890 by P.G. It was there, in the ever dangerous and incredibly foreign lands of the Middle East, where he honed his skills as one of his country’s best snipers.Īfter leaving the Service, our titular protagonist ended up being recruited for some not very legal activities.

Although there are some paranormal elements to be found in one or two of those stories, scariness isn’t the focus. This has resulted in The Outsider, The Institute, Elevation and now Billy Summers.

No, he’s also written some of the most seminal, non-scary stories of the last number of decades. King isn’t a genre writer who can only write within the parameters of the scary and unusual.

The Undead Pool (The Hollows, 12) by Kim Harrison The Undead Pool book. There’s a general sensation of closure and imminent climax as Harrison maneuvers toward the end, and patient readers are promised a substantial payoff. The long-running romantic subplot makes substantial progress, with several cinematic action sequences and major world-building revelations interspersed among more intimate scenes. When Rachel becomes host to the Goddess’s sentient thought-entities, she holds the futures of elves and demons alike in her hands, but at a terrible risk to sanity and existence. On the personal front Rachel must balance her bodyguard duties for elf drug lord Trent Kalamack, who was once her sworn enemy, with her growing forbidden attraction to him.

It amazed me that we, because of perfect product design, intuitively know how to use products and how quickly we learn when extra functions are added due to the evolution of tech. Norman shows many examples of what works why, how even simple and banal seeming objects are filled with deep thoughts about each possible aspect and how products evolve. Gosh, I didn´t know that there was such a huge bunch of other disciplines involved in the creation of everyday objects and how much scientific effort is made to pimp every single aspect until perfection. A praising of human creativity and problem-solving skills, shown on so normal and average examples one could never imagine that their history is so suspenseful.
