I want to start this review with "Gil is gay and it's awesome" and I'm a little conflicted. I don't want to distract people from the fact that this is one hell of a sword and sorcery story, but at the same time I really think it bears highlighting. Morgan's writing is fast, brutal and uncompromising. He set out to deliberately smash fantasy fiction tropes with The Steel Remains, and he continues his task with great relish in this sequel. This is nihilistic, brutal and unrelenting stuff and he puts his characters - particularly his main protagonist Gil - through sheer and absolute hell with hardly a pause for breath. Gil gets knocked down – hard – and then just grits his teeth and drags himself up again, no matter what, and he doesn't ask for any favours to do so. It's the undiluted essence of a hero and it's not always fun to watch. The battered, bitter, weary, pissed-at-the-world Gil makes pretty much all the other anti-heroes you've ever read and liked look like they were merely playing at being badass. But I feel the way that Morgan writes his hero (or more accurately, anti-hero) is somehow even more ground-breaking than he intended. Because Gil is gay, but he's gay in a way that any other hero in any other book you've ever read is hetero. He's violent, aggressive, cocky, confrontational and very good at killing. He's deeply flawed, a bit (understatement?) messed up and he does things you don't always like. But he's also alone and struggling to survive, to be as invulnerable as he can even while being completely human. He's had a crappy childhood and has been forced to do some even crappier things just to survive and what's more he, of all people, is not proud of it. Doesn't mean he's going to do otherwise next time. And like anyone, he needs others. He craves meaningful connections, needs companionship and comfort. When he meets someone attractive, he feels desire. It might not mean anything or amount to anything, and if it does you know it can't last because his life just doesn't work like that, but he's only human, like anyone. He just happens to also be gay. It's this approach to his character, the way his sexual orientation is such an embedded part of his inner landscape, so background, that it comes across as completely unremarkable, and that's why I didn't want to start this review with "Gil is gay and it's awesome". Because it shouldn't be something to remark on, but it is. I can't really express how rarely I've seen something like this in other fantasy fiction. Possibly never. Sure, I've read those books by Lynn Flewelling, as well as others. Gay protagonists are not completely unheard of in this genre, but it's always more of a... I don't know, feature. More often still, they're relegated to supporting character and written in a way that equates 'homosexual' with either someone to feel a little sorry for or someone to mistrust or dislike. Morgan doesn't 'feature' Gil's homosexuality, he doesn't unrealistically romanticise or degrade it. He doesn't fade-to-black on the sex scenes but neither does he get unnecessarily explicit. He basically just treats it as he would have treated a heterosexual protagonist, and when Gil faces thoughtless prejudice or hostile opposition, when he struggles alone and is in need of comfort, when you realise his feelings for someone close to him run deeper than he lets on, you are as fully invested in something good happening to him as you would be with any other character in the same situation, no matter who turned them on. And that's as it should be.

I really liked this book. I rate it along the lines of "The Hunger Games". It's written in the 3rd person, so you get to see what everyone is thinking. I think it is written well and it's interesting to see the battle between heaven and hell out in the open in a world that is barely hanging on. It's obvious that trapping demons is in Riley's blood and that she is a pivotal piece in the war against hell. The 2nd book in this series will be released in the fall and right now that is too long of a wait for me.

Not the greatest book, but not the worst either.

As we get older all of us are probably going to know someone who has Alzheimers. I learned so much of value reading this book. It gave me a greater understanding of what it is like for the person who has the disease. I hope I will be a better friend and family member to them.

Gracie is the smart, quiet middle child in her family whose best friends is the school genius. When she discovers a journal where whatever she writes comes true, she tries to use it for good, only to discover that the truth isn’t always what it seems. Starting with small, personal entries, such as giving her sister the date she’s been wishing for or a perfect score for her brother on a test he didn’t study for, her she really wants to solve bigger world problems, but doesn’t want them to backfire as well. The story is a cute blend of fantasy and reality, if not slightly familiar with its literary references to Alice in Wonderland, Half-Magic, and a Prayer for Owen Meany. The ambiguous ending suggests a sequel, although it’s unclear whether the book really warrants one. While the book does hint of romance, the subject matter is tame and will appeal to readers as young as third grade.

Of all the shopaholic series, this one was least of my favorite.

Bu kitap kendi başına bir hatadan geçmekte oldukça yavaştı, okumak için fazla zamanım olmadı. Ben onunla sıkışmış sevindim, değdi. Biraz ağır el ve vaaz bazen, ama Barbara Kingsolver daha az beklenir. Üç hikayenin iç içe geçtiği yolu çok sevdik. Kesinlikle son bölümü sevmedim ve kitap yüzünden 3.5 yıldız verirdim. Yine de okumaya değer.
