Not my favorite, kind of depressing. But I started dreamfever immediately after this episode, it was not possible not to with the cliffhanger and all!

Dyslexia rules! And so does absurdity. We all need a little bit of mental sorbet.

FIRST LINE: "Moth was flying his kite near the aerodrome when he heard the dragonfly crash." Young Moth had grown up in Calio, the mountain city, dreaming of becoming a Skynight, one of the elite pilots who flew the fragile, beautiful, newfangled flying machines called dragonflies. To the north of Calio stretched the Reach, looking like a sea of fog that never ended. Flat and peaceful, the mists of the Reach flowed all the way to the horizon, and Calio loomed over this vast forbidding expanse like a sentinel standing guard. There were numerous tall tales about the lands beyond the Reach, and Moth heard the wildest of them from Leroux. Leroux, had once been one of the legendary Eldrin Knights, had taken guardianship of the ten-year-old when Moth's mother died. At first, Moth had been expecially fascinated by Leroux's stories of the Skylords, but at the grown-up age of thirteen, Moth was becoming increasingly skeptical about the existence of these mysterious, powerful and frightening beings from beyond the Reach. When Leroux died, Moth was faced with an impossible task: to protect Lady Esme, Leroux's pet kestrel. And protecting Lady Esme would mean venturing into the forbidden Reach with his best friend Fiona, to find dragons, battle Skylords, and discover the secret hidden within the kestrel herself. It would be easy for me to ambiguously rave about Starfinder. As I said before, I loved it. But I know that others found it lacking, so I thought I would specify what I loved, so that you can judge whether you might use the same criteria as I. 1. It's intelligent. The tone of the book doesn't condescend to readers. The narrative might be a little slow for someone only interested in action, but the metaphors and literary elements are delightful for those who choose to identify them. The language is lyrical but not flowery, with lots of good SAT words sprinkled throughout, in only appropriate places. 2. It's original....but familiar. The Hindenberg meets Fantasyland? Heck, yeah. I never expected, plot-wise, what would happen next. The characters were complex enough to keep me guessing. And the Reach itself is a magical land created wholly by Marco, rather than lifted from the idea of some other one. While the plot and characters are original, Starfinder, for me, had the feel of so many of my favorite worlds and authors and characters: Narnia, Neverland, Naussica of the Valley of the Wind, Anne McCaffrey, Lewis Carroll, Howl's Moving Castle, Xena - to name a few. In other words, this story felt very comfortable, both exciting and familiar, and that added to its charm. 3. It's got heart. Marco is careful not to reduce any of the conflicts in Starfinder to dualisms. There are many shades of grey, and the reader is given a chance to think about what his or her own response might be even as Moth or Fiona make theirs. There's a great deal of affection - parental love, friendship - without romance playing much of a role in this book (other than, for example, a husband-wife who are obviously fond of each other.) Whatever the emotions, Marco elicits them organically, without resorting to cliches for loss or joy or anger or exhilaration. Starfinder would make a great present for boys around ages 12 to 14 who like to read, or for reluctant boy readers ages 12 to 18. I wouldn't buy this for a girl unless I knew she was open to the strong female characters and didn't expect mushy romance. But everyone - everyone - should at least check it out from the library.

Aimed at teens, and again with the whiny-people-with-trivial-problems problem occasionally (Ellen Kushner's "Charis," especially). But tons of wonderful stories. Best stories: Neil Gaiman's "Chivalry" (about an old woman who finds the Holy Grail at a secondhand store) Susan Palwick's "Jo's Hair" (about what happens to Jo March's hair when she sells it) Harry Turtledove's "Not All Wolves" (about a boy werewolf escaping into the Jews' quarter) Andy Duncan, "Liza and the Crazy Water Man" (not so much for the fantasy element, which is negligible, but for the marvelous evocation of the early days of radio and mountain music) Ursula LeGuin's "The Bones of the Earth" (about stopping the earthquake, and fathers, and teachers) Sherwood Smith's "Mom and Dad on the Home Front" (about what the parents do while the kids are saving the other world) Orson Scott Card's "Hatrack River" (about the night Alvin was born, and I'm sure I've read it in one of the novels).

I'm not much into WWII or military war stories. When my husband turns on the Military Channel, I leave the room. But, this book, on every must read list, was so compelling that I was able to get over my distaste for guns, battle, torture, etc. Laura Hillenbrand is an incredible story teller, and Louie Z's ability to survive is nothing short of miraculous. What occurred to me in the middle of the book was that it made the possibility of an interventionist God non-existent. Then, when Louie is able to get over PTSD after finding God, I felt it was very ironic. This one will stay with me for a long time.

Fascinating look at the use of euphemisms as subterfuge.

What a wonderful book. Ive read the whole series and makes me appreciate my friends and my sister that much more. Ann Brasheres creates wonderful three-dimensional characters.
So I have finally finished this resource guide. That also means that I have finally finished reading the Bible - it took 4 years to read cover to cover but I have learned a lot. I appreciate the incite that this manual gave. I liked finding out more about the authors of each of the books in the New Testament and their background information. I liked learning about details of life during the time of Christ. I enjoyed delving deeper into the life and teachings of Christ and how it affects my life. The final note in the back from Spencer W. Kimball regarding the Apostle Peter impressed me.

eh, parts of this book made me really laugh. it was kind of dark and sad but it didn't really do much for me. the ending really sucked. the books itself was drawn out and went on and on during unimportant moments. then towards the end, bam it just kind of ended promptly. it was as if the writer just gave up or something like it.
