Glitches: In this prequel to Cinder, we see the results of the plague play out, and the emotional toll it takes on Cinder. The Keeper: A prequel to the Lunar Chronicles, showing a young Scarlet and how Princess Selene came into the care of Michelle Benoit. How did Cinder first arrive in New Beijing? How did the brooding soldier Wolf transform from young man to killer? When did Princess Winter and the palace guard Jacin realize their destinies? With nine stories-five of which have never before been published-and an excerpt from Marissa Meyer’s novel, Heartless, about the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, Stars Above is essential for fans of the bestselling and beloved Lunar Chronicles. The universe of the Lunar Chronicles holds stories-and secrets-that are wondrous, vicious, and romantic. Now, Rambo simply wounded a lot of people, so that he could survive and possibly find a way to live with his actions at the end of the film. The resulting screenplay, which Stallone had a hand in, eliminated the killing. This remarkable and critically acclaimed novel pits a young Vietnam veteran against a small-town cop who doesnt know what he will unleash after their first ill-fated encounter-a life-and-death struggle through the woods, hills, and caves of rural Kentucky. When the film finally went into production in 1981, Stallone, who had catapulted from wannabe screenwriter and actor to mega-stardom in the 1976 hit Rocky, took on the role of Rambo. Not long after it was published, Hollywood wanted the film rights, and Morrell watched with bemusement as various directors (Richard Brooks, Stanley Kramer, and Martin Ritt, for example) and movie stars (such as Steve McQueen, Robert Blake, and Paul Newman) were attached and unattached to the project. Soon, he uses his combat-honed skills to do away with police officers, civilians, and posse members in the backwoods of Kentucky as they first pursue him and then become the pursued. After a middle-aged police officer locks Rambo up, things go badly. In it, Rambo (he has no first name in Morrell's novel), is viewed by small-town locals as a member of the counterculture because he doesn't cut his hair, doesn't take a bath, and doesn't have a job. The result was First Blood, Morrell's debut novel, which was published to mostly good reviews. When Agamemnon does eventually come home – bringing Cassandra with him as a prize of war – further tragedy will strike the family and this time it is Elektra who is left vowing revenge. Meanwhile, Iphigenia’s younger sister Elektra grows up watching in disapproval of her mother’s relationship with her new lover Aegisthus and waiting for her father to return. The devastated Clytemnestra vows to take revenge on her husband, but she will have a long time to wait as the Trojan War will last ten years. In order to please the gods so they will produce a wind to allow the fleet to set sail, Agamemnon sacrifices his eldest daughter, Iphigenia. In this novel, Jennifer Saint tells the stories of both Elektra and Clytemnestra, as well as another woman – Cassandra, the Trojan priestess and prophet.Įlektra begins with the Greeks preparing to go to war against Troy. If you’re familiar with Greek mythology, you’ll know Elektra as the daughter of Agamemnon, King of Mycenae, and his wife Clytemnestra, the sister of Helen of Troy. I enjoyed Jennifer Saint’s first novel, Ariadne, a retelling of Greek myth from a female perspective, so I was looking forward to reading her new one, Elektra. Before they return home, she falls in love with Levi, the Reverend’s son. That summer the siblings attend several funerals of the boys who died trying to win Jet’s affections. Jet spends the summer inadvertently enchanting the local boys with her beauty and triggering the Owens family curse: that those who fall in love with an Owens are doomed to die. Franny, who at first denies her magic, comes to accept what she is. That summer, Vincent has sex for the first time with an older neighbor who becomes obsessed with him before he learns to magically break the obsession. They are joined in their aunt’s home by a distant cousin, April, who develops feelings for Vincent, like most women he meets. The summer that Franny is 17, the siblings spent the season with their Aunt Isabelle in Massachusetts.ĭuring that summer away from home, the children explore their abilities. All three siblings have what they refer to as the sight, or the ability to either see into the future and/or to know what others are thinking. At school, Franny grows close to a boy in her class, an activist son of rich parents, Haylin. They grow up in New York City, attending the prestigious Starling School. The novel opens a description of the three Owens siblings, Franny, Jet, and Vincent, and the magical history of their family. The Rules of Magic, Simon & Schuster, 2017.

In Whose Water Is It, Anyway?, renowned water justice activist Maude Barlow recounts her own education in water issues as she and her fellow grassroots water warriors woke up to the immense pressures facing water in a warming world. Today, Paris, Berlin, Bern, and Montreal are just a few of the cities that have made themselves Blue Communities. With its simple, straightforward approach, the movement has been growing around the world for a decade. The Blue Communities Project is dedicated to three primary things: that access to clean, drinkable water is a basic human right that municipal and community water will be held in public hands and that single-use plastic water bottles will not be available in public spaces. “Maude Barlow is one of our planet’s greatest water defenders.” ― Naomi Klein, bestselling author of This Changes Everything and The Shock Doctrine However Amani doesn’t actually know, what that goal is… When the last piece of hope she thought she knew turns out to be a lie, she follows her connection with the foreigner, running from pursuers and chasing a goal. After brutally sacrificing a friend, she seizes her only chance at freedom, and rides across the empty sand dunes on a godly creature with a broken compass to guide the way. When all hope of leaving seems lost, the mysterious foreigner she shot with in the arena and hid in her shop, saves her. While shooting for money, her unusual blue eyes call on the title of the Blue Eyed Bandit. Her desperate tries to get money to leave to the city her mother described, lead her to an arena with a gun and a scarf to mask the girl behind it. Only to come back later to the only place she has to call home to the sexist, traditional and close minded people she hates. Instead her mother is killed when Amani is young, and Amani confides in teaching herself the skills in firing a gun up on the far and hidden sand dunes that surround her only reach of life. A place where they could go and find Amani’s aunt. Her mother told her stories of a city, full of freedom and opportunities for them. Having only what she thought were her blue eyes from her father that she never knew, her mother was the only one she had. Her life seems to be closing in on her, trapping her into the hell she has always been planning to escape. Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton, reviewed by Natalie Kelly-Haigh. Thanks Natalie!
