I was not interested. I wanted it to be over. STORY BRIEF: Sir John Corwin preaches about the evils of magickers (witches). He leads the movement for torturing and killing them. Beckett is one of his followers and kills people for him. Corwin doesn’t know that Beckett is secretly a magicker. Raven is one of the most powerful magickers. She is engaged to marry Gareth, another powerful magicker. They plan to have powerfully magick children to be leaders of their kind. But Raven is having an affair with Malcolm. They can’t resist their passion and lust for each other. They are in love. He wants to marry her. Malcolm is a regular human and does not know that she is a magicker. The main conflict through the story is Raven being with Malcolm but telling him this cannot last. She must marry Gareth. She cares for Gareth but has no lust for him. The secondary story is someone killing magickers and others. The magickers are trying to solve the mystery. Malcolm helps. REVIEWER’S OPINION: I managed to read the whole thing, but I didn’t enjoy it. I wanted it to be over. I’m not sure I can explain what was wrong, probably the following. The characters weren’t developed. No interesting personalities. Not enough development of the bad guys. Why and how murders were being committed wasn’t shown very well. In the beginning, Corwin told Beckett he was searching for a powerful magick book. But nothing happened regarding that. There were several sex scenes that were somewhat hot, but not a reason to get the book. DATA: Story length: 291 pages (double spaced). Swearing language: mild, including religious swear words. Sexual language: strong. Number of sex scenes: 7. Estimated number of sex scene pages: 22. Setting: 1882 England. Copyright: 2008. Genre: erotic fantasy romance.

I bought this book over a year ago, when my mother's health issues intensified. The back cover, quoting Publishers Weekly, calls it "the Tiberan Buddhist equivalent of Harold Kushner's When Bad Things Happen to Good People..." While I knew much of the information (thanks to my former yoga teacher, Lesli and other readings), it is information that bears repeating and expansion. The author, Pema Chodron, explains in the introduction that the book is primarily transcripts of lectures that she has given. The book flows well. I especially liked using "thinking" when the mind wanders during mediation to recognize the intrusion of thought, then dismissing those thoughts. A new concept to me is "tonglen": a method for connecting with suffering by breathing in our suffering, of that of a person known, or a stranger, then breathing out the opposite of that pain or suffering - happiness, joy, relaxation. "We're always trying to deny that it's [death] a natural occurence that things change, that the sand is slipping through our fingers. Time is passing. It's as natural as the seasons changing and day turning into night. But getting old, getting sick, losing what we love - we don't see these events as natural occurences." (44) "We habitually erect a barrier called blame that keeps us from communicating genuinely with others, and we fortify it with our concepts of who's right and who's wrong...Blaming is a way to protect our hearts, to try to protect what is soft and open and tender in ourselves." (81) In dealing with anger or a dilema: "Basically the instruction is not to try to solve the problem but instead use it as a question about how to let this very situation wake us up further rather than lull us into ignorance. We can use a difficult situation to encourage ourselves to take a leap, to step out into that ambiguity." (146)
