reset your view, parallax the age from this perspective

Revisado: 07-28-24

nico was amazing and a perfect model of what happens when all the backing is geared toward a privileged group over someone else. she was a beautiful woman and she was treated as nothing more than an object to be looked at and appreciated for her secured possibility. very rarely was she appreciated for her talent, nor was she coached to bring her talent and skill to the forefront. this is a great book to review about an age you lived through and thought you understood already.

you missed this one when you were reading Virginia Woolf

Revisado: 02-01-24

this book was published and then banned the same year as Orlando. it may not have the power of Woolf, but the timelines of this book to our era is coming back around.

maybe one of the best sets in this series

Revisado: 01-10-24

if you make it this far, congrats. there are some duds throughout, but this has some of the best stories.

my opinion says that
the concrete mixer, no charge for alterations, and Greylorn are the best three. but there's still farewell to the master, the inferiors (aka homo inferior), the Virgin of valkarion, the ambulance made two trips, and fondly Fahrenheit to work through as well.

ugh. sorry Miss Foley

Revisado: 07-31-23

struggling through this. way too many excuses to not do any proper things throughout. the excuses were light and flimsy to begin with, but then they are repeated often.

and then

spoiler...









everyone is a red herring
no one is a true murderer

Revisado: 07-31-23

don't know why this was a period piece. tried too hard to be victorian lit with magic thrown in as an extra character. it wasn't enough of an extra character.

couldn't focus on this story

Revisado: 07-27-23

I really got bored. there are better stories with better villains and much better dragons.

required reading for 13 year olds

Revisado: 06-25-23

love it. want more of it. don't understand why this book was never mentioned in 88 when it first came out. Is it too early? she was 13 when the worst parts of her life were happening to her.

Revenge!

Revisado: 06-09-23

spoilers. so obviously, there are trigger warnings attached. in the previous decades, a man will suffer a loss, and we will see the rest of the story through that man gaining vengeance. but when you consider the loss, it's important to think: what did he really lose.

in Gabrielle Union's We're going to need more wine memoir, she mentions an assault, and for whatever reason, he father keeps the newspaper clipping of the assault in his wallet for years. what purpose does that serve? so in Taken, Liam Neeson's daughter is kidnapped for sex trafficking purposes, and while her agency is what's at stake, we celebrate Liams revenge declaration.

at least in The Maid's Diary, we get revenge and attack from the first person's point of view. a reclamation of agency, a reversal on a grand scale. I think it could have been heavier on the suspense or the psychological thrills, and I expect a lot more of these are coming out already out there.

survivors deserve their time in the sun, but I caution that these stories are not good when they are male dominated either. I will give these a bi for about 2 decades, but after that, we need to find something new.

this one is worth the read.
