A Court of Wings and Ruin

Posted by Anonymous on
 In this book, the adventures of Feyre ends in a kind of cliche way but with many surprises.

At the end of the previous book, Feyre goes back to Tamlin willingly but not as his lover but a spy for her court. Tamlin has sided with King Hybern who is plotting to overthrow the other High Lords of Prythian and re-enforce the human slavery law. While staying at the Spring Court, Feyre 'accidentally' kills the niece and nephew of Hybern. She escapes with Lucien back to the Night Court. After Feyre gets back Rhysander requests a meeting with all of the High Lords to warn and form an alliance with them to fight against Hybern.

The ending is quite a cliche. The armies of the High Lords were on the brink of defeat but suddenly more reinforcements from their old friends come. Even then they were nearly losing. The king was slain by the sisters of Feyre but that did not stop the Hybern troops from fighting. The surprise was how they had won but the Cauldron which is what holds the world together was broken in the process of receiving the victory. Rhysander dies from fixing the Cauldron but is brought back alive in the same way as Feyre.

I'm very happy with this end as everyone is living happily ever after. I would probably hate the author if she had killed off Rhysander.

Short Stories: WHERE IS DANIEL?

The time was an early morning in the winter of 1941. Falling snow packed onto the hard  labourers  of Gulag  10 WLA as they begin setting off into the mines and factories somewhere in the far east. Malnourished, mistreated and muddy, the inhabitors of this typical Gulag were kept under strict control of General Victor, who gave harsh punishments to any prisoner who dared riot or worse, insult the government.   It was a normal evening. The prisoners were escorted back to the Gulag through the freezing taiga by cattle carriages. They waited in line for their daily rations: Rubbery potatoes, dried bread and lime water. If one behaved well and boasted high production, he/she would sometimes be rewarded with a small knob of fresh corn, a snack the guards would gladly feast on. General Victor was feasting on a large chicken when Archie, or formally, Guard Number One burst into his room reporting misbehaviour between two prisoners. Ben (Guard Number Two) and Mile...

Book Review - I Am Malala

This book - I Am Malala - is about Malala Yousafzai, who fought for the right of girl's education, when the Taliban took over Pakistan, Malala's home country. It was an autobiography novel, written by Malala herself with help from Patricia Mccormick and was written for teens. Malala was an ordinary girl living in Pakistan with her family and friends and thoroughly enjoyed school, which she did very well at. However, in Pakistan, women were restricted in what they could do and be seen doing and these worsened when the Taliban came when Malala was 10 years old. Even at this age, Malala did not like that women were treated so horribly. So she spoke out, but the Taliban did not like this. They took action and shot Malala on her school bus, she never got to and probably never will get to make that journey back home. The bullet was shot into Malala's head and narrowly avoided her brain, it took Malala several surgeries, physical therapy sessions and a flight halfway across the...
