The occasionally busy first-person narration blossoms with unexpected humor (appealing-but-alien Rook consider tears “leaks”) rich, detailed descriptions of the beautiful but dangerous world of the folk will seduce readers, while the unexpectedly action-filled flight (there’s a wild hunt, a ball, magic battles, and extreme painting) keeps the pages turning. Golden-brown, beautiful Rook (autumn and summer folk are darker skinned spring and winter lighter) kidnaps her in retaliation in their uncomfortable flight they fall for each other, dooming themselves to death. When she paints sorrow into the eyes of the autumn prince, she becomes embroiled in a complex web of fairy-court intrigues. Fair-skinned human Isobel, 17, is a portrait painter of unsurpassed talent who has mastered the art of wrangling practical enchantments from her clients. In Regency-esque Whimsy, where time seems suspended and it’s always summer, humans practice Craft (making) for the pleasure of the capricious fair folk. A practical painter meets a tortured fairy prince, and layers upon layers of magic and intrigue engulf them in this debut. And it's probably not the worst thing rich people have ever done in real life. The Roys have a history of casually wielding their wealth to dehumanize and abuse those poorer than them (remember the million-dollar check at the baseball game in the very first episode). Next thing you know, a homeless man has "KR" tattooed on his forehead. Roman remembers Kendall's bachelor party, when he and his brother's friends one-upped each other with the craziest stunt they could think of. And Logan's collapse is a reminder of that all this mess started because the old lion's health is more precarious than he'd ever admit. It looks like the family in-fighting could lose them the company. Logan's spite and inability to back down coupled with Kendall's inability to take control of a situation open the door for business rival Stewey to swoop in (literally). But while they end up hiking a trail together, Logan and Kendall are definitely not on the same path. As an English major, poetry was not my number one subject.

Just when Gia begins to wonder if she could turn her fake boyfriend into a real one, Bradley comes waltzing back into her life, exposing her lie, and threatening to destroy her friendships and her new-found relationship. Gia owes him a favor and his sister intends to see that he collects: his ex-girlfriend’s graduation party-three hours, zero commitment, a few white lies. But tracking him down doesn’t mean they’re done faking a relationship. The one whose name she doesn’t even know. The problem is that days after prom, it’s not the real Bradley she’s thinking about, but the stand-in. After that, she can win back the real Bradley. The task is simple: be her fill-in boyfriend-two hours, zero commitment, a few white lies. So when she sees a cute guy waiting to pick up his sister, she enlists his help. This was supposed to be the night she proved he existed. After all, she’d been telling her friends about him for months now. When Gia Montgomery’s boyfriend, Bradley, dumps her in the parking lot of her high school prom, she has to think fast. She is taken to prison, tortured, and killed.

Unfortunately, the storyline about Nick’s boyfriend Sam could not capture me in the same way. It was obvious Olde Heuvelt is a climber himself and he knows what challenges climbers face, how it feels to get higher and higher and what drives climbers to always look for the next top. I loved the parts about Nick’s climb of the Maudit, the ‘damned mountain’. Olde Heuvelt takes you on a ride of mysterious terrestrial power. I have listened to some multi-season horror audio drama’s, but they mostly relied on short stories woven together by a longer thread – or they were just not that scary. Just like Peter, I think Echo was my first dive into long-form horror. But after this prologue ended, Olde Heuvel tested my patience to its limits. Shadows coming closer and closer and closer… I was immediately gripped. ‘There are people here,’ Olde Heuvelt writes simply. Robson's a musical shapeshifter, too his hands make instruments sing whether playing Stravinsky suites that soar to the rafters of Robinson Center Performance Hall or jamming on fiddle at the White Water Tavern.Īnd as his friends are eager to tell you, in his off hours Robson's likely to be found with his hands deep in the rich soil of the garden he has cultivated downtown, or preparing meals for them using organic food he has nurtured from seed. When he plays with the orchestra or its chamber groups, they are the hands of a master violinist whose fingers dance in their intricate ballet of bow and strings. Those hands are perhaps best known for conducting the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, the organization he serves as artistic director. He may often wear a tuxedo in public, but make no mistake: Geoff Robson works with his hands. Rumored to have had an incestuous relationship with her brother Cesare, Lucrezia was used as a political pawn by her father, who arranged her multiple marriages. He was made cardinal by his father upon his graduation from university, and was known for being a skillful soldier. In The Prince, Machiavelli writes that "Alexander VI did nothing but deceive men" (chapter XVIII).Ĭesare is believed to be Rodrigo Borgia's oldest son and his ruthless political manner is often cited as Machiavelli's inspiration for The Prince. During his reign, Alexander VI became known for his illicit relationships, political corruption, and nepotism. In Malice of Fortune, several Borgia family members play both prominent and subtle roles against the backdrop of the Renaissance papacy.īorn in Spain as Roderic Llançol i de Borja (Rodrigo Borgia), he studied law in Bologne before being appointed cardinal by his uncle, Pope Callixtus III. The Borgia name is synonymous with corruption, crime, and scandal. This article relates to The Malice of Fortune And in many ways, the game of pachinko is an accurate metaphor for their experience. These Japanese–Koreans have a long and complicated history with their former colonial overlords. However, the game usually ends with the balls dropping out the bottom of the machine, lost to the player forever. The balls bounce off pins and bumpers, and players hope the balls land in cups or slots that will win them prizes or money. Players purchase small silver balls that they drop or launch into the vertical pachinko machine. It can best be described as a combination of pinball and a slot machine. Pachinko, a game of chance not skill, is a rather curious Japanese amusement.
