About this deal

Who are you? I mean, sure, go ahead and call the police. But we’ve probably only got about five minutes before… or less, actually—” Although, now that the world is created, I could see this being the first entry in a fun, light-hearted series. We shall see. By a third of the way through, I still didn’t understand anything about the world. Honestly, I’ve finished reading and I still feel lost. Además de conservar la paz entre lo mágico y lo no mágico, los libreros, como bien dice su profesión, se dedican a los libros. Me he anotado un montón de títulos y cuando buscaba qué estaba leyendo qué personaje me gustaba ver que el libro tenía relación con su personalidad también.

Strange Fishing in the Western Highlands" (from Hellboy: Oddest Jobs, edited by Christopher Golden_ a b Collins, Paul; Steven Paulsen; Sean McMullen (1998). The MUP Encyclopaedia of Australian Science Fiction and Fantasy. Melbourne: Melbourne University Press. p.134. ISBN 0-522-84771-4. Y, aunque tiene una historia enganchante con una trama intrigante, personajes bien construidos y una atmósfera muy envolvente... no ha llegado a las expectativas que tenía por el otro libro :(. The Grandmother raised the flower and sniffed it again, her piercing dark eyes momentarily hooded, a smile passing across her thin-boned face like a glimpse of some small, colorful bird darting between dark and brooding trees.“ Susan waited for Jassmine to continue, but her mother’s voice trailed off and she was staring at the wall, whatever thought had been about to emerge lost somewhere along the way.stars. A very different type of fantasy (more of a British urban fantasy) from Garth Nix than the last one of his that I read, Angel Mage. Review first posted on FantasyLiterature.com: The Plague has left a population divided between Elites and Ordinaries—those who have powers and those who don’t; now, an Ordinary teen fights for her life. Eventually, Susan said with some determination, “I think I’ll go up to London early. Get acclimatized. There’s bound to be pub work I can get. And I… I’ll try to find my dad.” El romance no lo terminé de ver :(. Precipitado, no soy de las de amor a los pocos días de conocerse :(. This was a rough one for me to get through, which I am really upset to say because the concept is great. I pictured it being like The Librarians, which I LOVED! But it was nothing like it at all.

I had an interesting dream last night. I think. Only I can’t remember what happened. It seemed important.…” Está ambientado en el año 1983 en un Londres algo alternativo y se mezcla la magia con la realidad: fantasía urbana. Como me pasó con "Magia Angelical", creo que el mundo que ha creado da para más de una historia: ofrece una sensación amplia, como si temporalmente ya hubiera estado y estará en un futuro. The police? Don’t you mean Charlie Norton or Ben Bent-Nose or one of Frank’s other charming associates?” A different practical yet magical Susan (Terry Pratchett’s creation) whom “our” Susan sometimes brought to mind. Me han gustado mucho los personajes y el mensaje en sí que es Merlín para todo lector: gracias por normalizar que la ropa no tiene género. Aunque Susan era una buena protagonista, mi favorito fue la hermana de Merlín, empaticé mucho con ella.a b "oldkingdom.com.au – The Nine Gates of Death: An Extract of the Journal of Idrach the Lesser Necromancer" .

Susan smiled, thinking about what all this meant. Her subconscious hard at work fantasizing, fueled by too many fantasy novels and a childhood diet of Susan Cooper, Tolkien, and C. S. Lewis. The brook creature and the huge ravens and the earth lizard should all make up a nightmare, but the dream wasn’t frightening. Quite the reverse, in fact. She always felt strangely comforted after she had the dream. The Field of Fallen Foe", in the collection Sir Hereward and Mister Fitz: Stories of the Witch Knight and the Puppet Sorcerer (2023)DNF at 30%. It feels like such a slog that I'm not interested in pushing through. Based on the premise I should have loved this book, but it's a lot like The Starless Sea- really wonderful idea but terrible execution. It's weird and not in an enjoyable or humorous way. The writing style is simply not enjoyable. Other reviewers have brought up the excessive amount of ellipses that result in stilted and unnatural dialogue, and interrupt the flow of reading. Added to this is the unbelievable fact that the reader is told everything and shown nothing. I find this very surprising coming from a seasoned writer. Every character is described in excess with boring and unnecessary details. Their entire wardrobe is listed in full each scene, along with an accent that I'm supposed to just read the dialogue in, as no mannerisms to show this are included in what they say. I don't care a whit about Susan, who has completely unrealistic reactions to what happens. Merlin should be the best character ever but is just a charicature as opposed to a real character.

All eight stories plus a new ninth story The Field of Fallen Foe are collected in Sir Hereward and Mister Fitz: Stories of the Witch Knight and the Puppet Sorcerer (2023).Set in 1983 technically makes this historical fiction, but as that thought makes me cry, I will call it a recent contemporary. Anywho, the magic was pretty cool, as it dealt with a lot of earth magic and gods and whatnot of English mythology, was was interesting. And the magic itself was super cool. And I liked Merlin's genderfluidity. I was less intrigued by the whole cauldron premise, mainly because cauldrons have been done to death (thank you SJM for murdering this plot point). Besides the ravens, there was also something about the hill above the farmhouse. A creature emerged from the earth there… a kind of lizard thing of stone, possibly even a dragon.
