In this book, Roland finds multiple doors to New York into different time periods, and he goes on little adventures through each door. We meet Eddie Dean and Susannah, Roland gets his fingers bitten off by a “lobstrosity” and the stakes never let up. It’s also my favorite Stephen King novel of all time. Not only is The Drawing of the Three my favorite Dark Tower novel. The Drawing of the Three (Dark Tower Book #2) Have you ever heard of peak Nic Cage? Well, this is peak Stephen King, and by God. Because this is by far the craziest book in the series, and for that reason, I adore it. And Stephen King also throws himself in the story for good measure, because why not?īut while a lot of fans can’t stand how crazy this story got, it actually intrigued me all the more for how audacious it all was. I remember reading this book on a plane and rubbing my head wondering if I was reading all of this correctly. Oh, and they also battle with lightsabers and the snitches from Harry Potter. And not just any robots, but robots that look like Dr. And then Roland and his Ka-tet fight the Wolves, but they’re not really wolves at all. In a nutshell, The Ka-tet are being followed, and they find out that it’s by this group that call themselves Wolves. I mean, I don’t even know how to explain the plot. Okay, so this is usually the book where a lot of readers just totally give up on the series, and I get it.

Boston, Lothrop Publishing Company, 1898. I think The Governess Game is Tessa’s first book (that I’ve read, anyway, which is a lot) that includes children as main characters. Unfortunately, her new Girl Meets Duke series doesn’t seem to be as magical for me as her Spindle Cove and Castles Ever After series were but that doesn’t mean I didn’t thoroughly enjoy this book! I had so much fun reading it, and really liked all the characters. Her witty banter, strong heroines, and swoony heroes are unparalleled. Soon the walls around Chase’s heart are crumbling.

Like any self-respecting libertine, Chase lives by one rule: no attachments. The ladies of London have tried-and failed-to make him settle down. Try telling that to their guardian, Chase Reynaud: duke’s heir in the streets and devil in the sheets. However, the girls don’t need discipline.

The project also amounts to an abandonment of the original vision for Pier 17, which the Rouse Company opened to much fanfare in 1985. Though other high-profile developments along the East River have foundered, most notably Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum and Santiago Calatrava’s apartment tower of stacked cubes, the seaport plan speaks to the undiminished allure of riverfront sites and of developers’ faith that megaprojects can inject new life into, and create profit out of, areas where other visions have failed. Conceding the failure of the South Street Seaport pier as a “festival marketplace” - these days, it is not much more than a waterfront mall - its owners plan to replace it with a mixed-use project including a 42-story, 495-foot apartment and hotel tower, wrapped in a terra-cotta exoskeleton and rising from new pilings in the East River. Thomas spends a lot of time mulling over being kicked out of the school he was attending on the day he was to be given his mask and ‘colour’ power. Not learning much, developing a connection with or liking the main character of a book makes the reading a touch uncomfortable. Also Thomas comes across as a whiny, entitled, petulant whinger. In this world, it happens to be not black death but stone, which petrifies the skin and spreads until total petrification occurs. In Fawkes, the reader doesn’t learn much about the main character within the eight chapters other than he is Thomas, the son of the great Guy Fawkes, and he has been cursed with the Plague. Unfortunately, that’s where the similarities end. In the beginning the story feels a lot like a young adult version of The Name of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss-a young man in a world of magic is determined to find his place in the world until he’s displaced and then embarks upon a journey, which leaves him penniless and a street urchin. Thomas is the son of the great Guy Fawkes. Many of the concepts he included were later picked up by other writers, like the various prayers spoken by Madrak, one of the major characters, of which 'The Possibly Proper Death Litany' is a fantastic example:Insofar as I may be heard by anything, which may or may not care what I say, I ask, if it matters, that you be forgiven for anything you may have done or failed to do which requires forgiveness. Anubis has gotten ready an emissary, who he has been training for a thousand years, to kill his greatest enemy.Without getting into spoilers, let's just say that things do not go as planned :)Roger Zelazny wrote this book with an amazing stylistic touch. Anubis and Osiris cooperate and compete at the same time. It's on my regular re-read list.It features a universe where death and life are controlled by two poles, the House of the Dead, run by Anubis, and the House of Life, run Osiris. There is still a sense of mystery and danger. Reid grew up the only daughter and middle child in a small town in North Carolina. But it doesn’t mean that it is less exciting.
