The setting is unmistakably post-apocalyptic and even has the slight feel of a western, but at the same time it appears a significant portion of technology has survived. When the sun sets, creatures known as the Weir come forth and the night is filled with their glowing blue eyes and sounds of their electrifying howls. This futuristic, post-apocalyptic science fiction novel piqued my interest as soon as I saw it, and I knew even from reading its simple and brief description that I definitely had to check it out.The story opens, introducing us to a world where society has crumbled and human activity only exists in pockets of safe zones across a devastated landscape. Thank you to NetGalley and Angry Robot for providing me with a pre-release copy of Three in exchange for an honest review. ![]()

He landed on the cupola of the Indiana Statehouse, flapped his metallic wings, and blew a cone of fire that incinerated the state flag right off the flagpole. Yet for some reason, Festus decided he did not like Indiana.

That part was just about what they did in a cage and it went on for a whole chapter. It wasn’t really interesting when they put Jack and Annie in a cage. On a scale of 1 – 10, I would rate this book a 9 because I really imagined I was with mean pirates. Also, I can’t even draw that realistically. I thought that the illustrator’s drawing style was very realistic. That’s why there is a carved M on the bottom of the tree house floor. This book reminds me of Afternoon on the Amazon because both books are like “Oh my gosh, I’m so scared” and then “miracle.” My favorite part was when Jack and Annie found out who the magical person is. ![]() Will they get their treasure back?

It is full of humor and light, even as it describes the first moments of a nightmare. Yet even as it exposes human folly, the book exudes a hopeful humanism. It captures the unbearable tension, contradictions, and hysteria of pre-war Germany like no other novel. ![]() In 1937, German author Irmgard Keun had only recently fled Nazi Germany with her lover Joseph Roth when she wrote this slim, exquisite, and devastating book. Crossing town one evening to meet up with Gerti's Jewish lover, a blockade cuts off the girls' path-it is the Fuhrer in a motorcade procession, and the crowd goes mad striving to catch a glimpse of Hitler's raised "empty hand." Then the parade is over, and in the long hours after midnight Sanna and Gerti will face betrayal, death, and the heartbreaking reality of being young in an era devoid of innocence or romance.

Paz makes her way by fending for herself, her unrelenting grit her only weapon as it takes her to Baguio City for college, back to Dagupan City where she meets her future husband up until she makes it to America.įueled by a need to prove herself, to be seen as more than just a probinsyana from Pangasinan, and at the same time be her family’s anchor from thousands of miles away, Paz braves Tennessee until she reaches California.
