Ana Lagos analucialagos — My Adolescent Lit. review: This book was recommended to me by a friend. I read Stroud’s Bartimaeous Trilogy a few years ago and was impressed by the characters he’d created. The cover shoes a girl in a blue dress and cape riding a horse through a forest. She is reaching out to a boy in torn shirt and ragged pants and appears about to pull him onto the horse behind her. In the distance is a dark figure raising a sickle and beyond that a stream of smoke lifts into the air. It looks dark and foreboding. p. 171 — Halli has spent his entire life (all 14 years of it) on his family’s estate near the end of great valley. He has grown up hearing stories of his ancestor Svein and the other great heroes of old. He has also heard stories of the Trows — great beasts who used to feast on human settlers until they were driven out of the valley by the heroes and who are now kept at bay by burial cairns and the occasional sacrifice of meat. Halli loves the tales of the heroes — their valor and honor — and is discontent with the current system of Lawgiving and Arbitration, where land and money are the only compensations for dishonorable acts. After the murder of one of his family members, Halli sets off down the valley in pursuit of the murderers, intent on revenge. p. 327 — The middle third of the book is mostly centered around Halli’s journey, its outcome, and the change his experiences work in his character. He is still the same Halli when he returns home, but he is wiser now. The tales of the heroes have lost much of their allure and he begins to ask himself, “What now?” I am enjoying the character development and at this point in the book I have no idea what to expect for the last 150 pages. The last third of the book was awesome — intense, suspenseful — and I was surprised, which I like. Stroud’s strength really is in character development, which he lavishes upon Halli. Halli grows throughout the story, but the core of who he is remains unchanged aside from the maturing affects of wisdom and experience. It’s a fantasy-meets-folklore story that would be good for ages 14+. It’s very readable, but some students may be intimidated by the length of the book.

Yan Ye yansun1665766 — It took me so long to read this book. I feel like a better citizen for having taken the time. It is clear why a Supreme Court Appointment is so critical to the parties in power. All the Justices are well qualified but their ideology so polarized it is often down to the one moderate judge on which a monumental decision rests. That is extraordinary to me how much power this court holds and how quickly the balance sways with each appointment. Our court today is changing our legal landscape in ways we should carefully consider as a country. Since the retirements of O'Connor and the death of Rehnquist, the court is even more polarized and tips ever so slightly more to the right. This was a very good read for many reasons. The court is every bit as human as all other branches of government full of egos and quirks.
