How to Find a Book Without Knowing the Title or Author - MUO

Only problem? There’s now a new threat in the galaxy. One that has been waiting for this moment for a very long time. One with a power unlike any other ever seen previously. And they want Abbey as well. Be careful what you wish for. They say that Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. They’ve got no idea. With a secondary character named Darcy De Winter, who is a rich snobby boy with a sister named Gina and who immediately dislikes our heroine, Emma, you would think that this book has something to do with a Pride and Prejudice retelling, right? Especially since the blurb says "Jane Austen reigns supreme" at the boarding school.Durch das traumhafte Setting (Schloss, eingebettet im Wald mit anschließender Klosterruine, gelegen am Rhein) ergibt sich zauberhaftes Bild. Man gerät schon fast ins Schwärmen, wenn man an das Internat denkt. Denn hier scheint es einfach perfekt zu sein. Emma zumindest hat nichts auszusetzen und auch die anderen Schüler sind allesamt stolz, hier zur Schule zu gehen. Tradition wird großgeschrieben. That aside, though, I loved how Gläser treated these characters in the new setting. Unlike other contemporary retellings I have read, these characters do feel like a modern variant, though they are ones that are true to their original. It's unsurprising that Darcy was my favourite: while he comes across as condescending and arrogant, he's actually a really nice guy and a loving brother. I also really enjoyed Emma, even if I do believe she should have been Elizabeth. She is one of the best-developed voices of a teenager I've come across: she sways between hey I'm just a kid and I am all so grown up. She makes a lot of stupid mistakes but she is willing to admit her own faults. She can be snarky and out of line but she's a genuinely good friend. I like that she cared about the school itself, that the younger students felt welcome and that she looked out for her father. I'd also tighten up the middle of the story; it felt a little drawn-out, where for a while they kept getting clues but not getting any closer to solving the mystery! (However, I liked the mystery itself, which was very intriguing and kept me hooked, and when the reveals happened, they were well done and unexpected.) The supporting characters, although some of them vaguely inspired by P&P characters (but not all of them, which I was disappointed at, when Charlotte and Mr Collins didn't show up, and neither did Caroline, whose inclusion in this P&P-inspired story would have been highly entertaining) were entertaining. Darcy broods about as any Byronic hero, and watching him and Emma come to terms with their feelings was fun. It felt natural and unrushed, moving through the stages of friendship. The realisation may have been sudden, but the build up was not, and who can blame a 16 year old girl for realising very suddenly that maybe she has feelings for someone she thought she hated?

There was a publisher about six or seven years ago, when I first started talking about The Sioux online, who said, ‘Oh, we were looking at republishing it,’ but that publisher doesn’t exist anymore.M. R. Forbes spent his childhood attempting to read every scifi novel that he could find (and write some of his own as well), see every scifi movie that made it into the theater, and play every scifi video game, he’s truly got a deep love of the genre across any and every medium. He works hard to bring that same exact energy to the stories he writes, with a continuing goal to surprise, fascinate, entertain, and delight. But The Rationalist is wonderful. There was a follow-up called The Marriage of Souls(1990), and then there was a third book that never got published. It was intended as a trilogy. There’s a certain romance to the idea that here was this, at the time, very popular and well-received book, and for whatever reason, the third and final instalment never came out. There may well be people who read the first and second books and loved them. This world really is crazy, huh? He got caught in the middle of the war between good and evil (yep, an actual real thing), killed and then sent on his merry way down. Landon didn’t make it all the way, however. He got intercepted by Dante (yep, that Dante). It appears he had other things in store for Landon.
