A great capstone to the trilogy.
Revisado: 02-01-23
great action and the author stayed with the story to the end. I really liked how the story was wrapped up. leaving room for new stories but finishing up things the way they should be. If you read this book or any of the previous parts of the trilogy, don't be squeamish. You have to realize you're not reading something with revisionist, me too history. The story contains many elements the characters and we ourselves, find cruel.

Historia
Generations of Sassers have made moonshine in the Brushy Mountains of Wilkes County, North Carolina. Their history is recorded in a leather-bound journal that belongs to Jessie Sasser's daddy, but Jessie wants no part of it. As far as she's concerned, moonshine caused her mother's death a dozen years ago. Her father refuses to speak about her mama, or about the day she died. But Jessie has a gnawing hunger for the truth - one that compels her to seek comfort in food.

A story about vengeance and family traditions.
Revisado: 01-29-23
The story starts slow. It focuses on the challenges of a teenage girl's life. At first she is opposed to the family business but eventually becomes a participant. As the story is told there are times when it seems like it's going in multiple directions. Sometimes we like a simpler focus but this was about the main character's life and life can be complicated.

Historia
Inti Flynn arrives in Scotland with her twin sister, Aggie, to lead a team of biologists tasked with reintroducing fourteen gray wolves into the remote Highlands. She hopes to heal not only the dying landscape, but Aggie, too, unmade by the terrible secrets that drove the sisters out of Alaska. Inti is not the woman she once was, either, changed by the harm she’s witnessed—inflicted by humans on both the wild and each other. Yet as the wolves surprise everyone by thriving, Inti begins to let her guard down, even opening herself up to the possibility of love.

Ended up being okay.
Revisado: 01-10-23
The start of the book became a bit preachy about environmentalism but eventually it became a neat little story about someone wanting something and the choices made, good and bad, to meet those ends.

Historia
Melanie Hoskins, an experienced firefighter-paramedic, has been recruited by a very selective and secret organisation known as The Division. Their mission is to protect the populace and secure the continuation of the United States. The Division is only activated at times of dire need. This just so happens to be one of those times. Based in New York City, Hoskins is forced to leave her civilian life and those she loves behind, and join the front line to try to control the 'dollar flu' virus that has been spreading throughout the city.

A little predicable but an okay story
Revisado: 11-26-21
Katee Sackhoff is a good actor and many of the other performers were good actors as well. I enjoyed their delivery of this audio story even though it felt a bit predictable. No matter what your opinion was you knew who was going to win, you knew how it was going to play out, and there wasn't a twist. it was well performed and the writing was okay although not inspired. Not bad for an audible original but it might have been nice to explore the gray a little more and not keep things so neatly black and white.

Historia
Moon, Jade, and other favorites from the Indigo Cloud Court return with two new novellas from Martha Wells, who continues to enthusiastically ignore genre conventions in her exploration of the fascinating world of the Raksura. Her novellas and short stories contain all the elements fans have come to love from the Raksura books: courtly intrigue and politics, unfolding mysteries that reveal an increasingly strange wider world, and threats both mundane and magical.

I I enjoyed reading their struggles and challenges
Revisado: 11-23-21
an interesting kind of anthology. focus on one species in the many different things that can happen in their lives over a long time.. and then put them in the world with lots of its own adventures. I liked it. some things for predictable that's how is everything in life so that wasn't too bad. It was just very refreshing to watch the author write a new world alive. sometimes it would be cool if some things could be woven in they're completely alien to us and our imaginations but that's a tall task for anybody.

Historia
Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening, her husband, Gabriel, returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face and then never speaks another word. Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety.

What a great suspenseful mystery!
Revisado: 10-30-21
Alex Michaelides did a wonderful job with his writing and what's his story. I found myself always wanting to know more end believes that the content was so believable he didn't try to stretch my imagination with bombast your technology just a story about people and how they are. the conclusion of the suspense is very gratifying and the story overall reflected just how much Greek tragedy has influenced his work. I enjoyed the story and interviews afterwards and I will be reading another one of his books,

she didn't even know how disconnected she was
Revisado: 09-29-21
I don't think Carrie Fisher was a bad person. I think she struggled like we all do and I think she was around people that taught her to be a bit more judgmental than was helpful. she did learn quite a bit about herself from her journeys and struggles with alcohol and drugs. Ultimately I don't think she ever got happy, at least not during this book. She says that the book is a companion to her speaking tour about the same issues; that showed. I also felt that as an entertainer she forgot that the only reason her career existed was because of people who enjoyed the work that she did. The contempt she had for the things that made her famous with fans that adored her was obvious and ultimately unjustified. She was a complex woman with history just as messed up as anybody but I wonder if she ever really accepted how privileged her life was.

Historia
When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity. Cloning, feel-good drugs, anti-aging programs, and total social control through politics, programming, and media: has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future? With a storyteller's genius, he weaves these ethical controversies in a compelling narrative that dawns in the year 632 A.F. (After Ford, the deity). When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity.

A fine story that makes you think about the world
Revisado: 07-24-21
What a great story with analysis and attention to detail. Many of Huxley's points really hit home today and make us question if we aren't living in a version of the Brave New World today.
