Jonathan Pierre jp6460 — The second book and sixth story in the Neveryona series, and the first novel length story. It is the story of Pryn who leaves her northern smalltown life and world on the wings of a dragon. Her adventure takes her through the intricacies of Kolhari [the capital of this country] where she meets a powerful merchant and Gorgik the Liberator. From there she heads south, travels with smugglers, finds herself in a new small town, which she quickly leaves, to find herself working at a brewery, formerly owned by a noble family, which she then encounters and must flee from. More than her physical journey is her mental journey, which we take with her. The world expands to an unimaginable degree, only for her to realise that nothing's different, no matter how far she goes. Like the previous story, it is very much concerned with power and the interplay of those who have and those who do not. It is about language, but mostly it is about the nature and power of stories. Everywhere she goes, she finds people who want to impose a life upon her, to make her who they want, whether it be rebel, slave, lover, whore, or more or less. She finds, here, on her journey, the ability to define herself and choose which version of her is the one she wants to be, is the one she actually is. There are some truly mindblowing passages in here that make you question so many things, from life to words to knowledge itself. It is the most cohesive book of the series, I think, but it meanders widely and is low on action, so if that's the kind of fantasy you're looking for, you're in the completely wrong series here. It is concerned with ideas most of all, and with the nature of stories at the center. It's about maps and mirrors, what these signs mean, as metaphors, as actual objects, and what the relation between the two is. And that interplay, that relationship, the significance of the signs, is not at all a simple answer. Highly recommended.

Rolando Gonzalez rolgon — I figured out what 42 means. This is a great book, tied with The Great Gatsby as my favorite. Definitely one of Vonnegut's best.

Nicola Raggi nicoraggi — This isn't a tell-all book dishing dirt on his ex-wife, Kim Basinger. The point to this book was to point out the inherent conficts of interest and unfairness in the legal system involving family and divorce law, presumably in the hopes of raising awareness for the reader to help change some laws. There are some personal anecdotes, not only of his own experience (to the extent he was allowed to do so under his own legal constraints), but also those of several other men who told the author their stories of divorce. As is often the case, the stories defy common sense. Importantly, he spends a full chapter introducing the concept of Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) to increase awareness of its existence to those who may be falling victim to it. There is also a chapter where he interviews a Harvard Law professor who expounds on the rise of women's rights in Law and how it is affecting family court cases as a result. I read this book because it apoke of father's rights, something I know my fellow stepmoms struggle with often on a daily basis (stepmoms/second wives even get a shout-out at the end for supporting their men through such craziness). But I was very glad to see the author frame the problems as FAMILY rights though, as it affects both sexes including the children involved. He does offer a few solutions which would need to happen though laws changing, as well as some things a person getting divorced might be able to do on their own within the current laws to make the situation better (ex: allow mediation and work towards it's sucess, don't just run to court). The book is plainly written, but there is a lot of repetition in it as though the authors' intent was to produce stand-alone chapters for piecemeal reading. However, I don't think the chapters themselves turned out to stand on their own. Ultimately, the entire book should be read. It might have been good to have another chapter or so on choosing the right mate in the first place, or working through your issues and staying married as two additional options to avoid the craziness of divorce though.
