![]() ![]() ![]() Intriguingly illustrated by the author's adopted son Mikey Jiraros, this is a book to be savored. And finally there are encounters with archetypes that seem to have messages to deliver, or instructions from a higher place. Then there are dreams that seem to contain entire plots of novels unwritten, perhaps a treasure trove to be mined for future works. From bright blue coelocanths encircling the globe to mediaeval spaceships to Paleolithic Venuses that unzip their skin to reveal hidden cameras to vomit that splits into emeralds, Somtow's dream diary is like an anthology of symbolist prose poems, reminiscent of the fevered mind of Rimbaud. A glimpse into the inner world of one of today's Renaissance men, The Maestro's Noctuary contains images both inspiring and disturbing. Somtow delivers nine years' worth of his dreams, meticulously recorded in a dream journal. By popular request, World Fantasy Award winning novelist and opera composer S.P. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The most character development and focus though, was definitely on Elain and Nesta. All of their different and unique characteristics, and how they work within their courts was one of my favourite aspects, and the politics between them was tense but also humorous. I loved seeing more of the world, and finally being introduced properly to all of the High Lords. It was such a thrill, and the changing relationships and dynamics between the characters was so interesting, compared to the beginning of ACOMAF. With that being said, I really enjoyed the beginning of this novel, with Feyre working as a double agent in the Spring Court. I love a book that is heavily character-driven, but I understand other people’s issues that not enough happened until like, the last 100 pages. There were less major events, and more small choices and character interactions which fuelled the majority of it. This book felt much more character and politically driven than the previous two books. ![]() ![]() I don't quite get the lineage or why it's important to state that when you first meet someone. I wasn't too sure what to make of the way the Dinotopians introduce themselves, though. The adventures are also pretty riveting! I think there's something for everyone in this book and I think I'd recommend it to just about anyone. ![]() I think it deals with those subjects very well, a lot better than I was expecting actually. ![]() And what happens when you stagnate and lose confidence in yourself. So is learning to move on and find your own place in the world, even when moving on means confronting pain and fear and loss. Accepting the way things are, even if at first they're scary, is a big lesson to learn. I can relate to Hugh a lot, and in some ways to Raymond and Windchaser, as well. This book is short, yet it deals with some pretty interesting subjects.

Palacio does a commendable job, from start to finish, creating a compelling story, and illustrations that convey the complex, intense emotions experienced by the characters. ![]() ![]() With White Bird: A Wonder Story, Palacio takes on a lot: a Holocaust story, inspired by her mother-in-law, writing and illustrating her first graphic novel, and the knowledge that, as explained by her husband's uncle Bernard, a New York City school principal for many years, this "extremely difficult subject to grapple with" is not taught until middle school, if at all. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 'A jam-packed, dizzying piece of fiction' Scotland on Sunday 'Toweringly ambitious, virtually flawlessly realized, a masterpiece and, without a doubt, my book of the year' Daily Mail ![]() The winner of the Saltire Society Scottish Book of the Year Award 2010, And the Land Lay Still is a masterful insight into Scotland's history in the twentieth century and a moving, beautifully written novel of intertwined stories.
