Here you see the development of their relationship and I already know it’s going to progress more in the other volumes and I can’t wait!

"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Sweeping in scope and meticulous in detail, The Heretic Queen is a novel of passion and power, heartbreak and redemption. ![]() Destined to be the most powerful Pharaoh in Egypt, he is also the man who must confront the most famous exodus in history. While political adversity sets the country on edge, Nefertari becomes the wife of Ramesses the Great.

This is a character sketch of a good man trying to see his way through a very hard time while helping others. Doesn't sound much like King but it works oh so well. It focuses on friendship, fairness, bigotry, prejudice, close-minded small town thinking and the efforts of honest, good people to make things better. The heart of this quick read does not reside in this somewhat horrible premise. As the book continues he's virtually lighter on his feet, can jump further, higher but does not stop losing. From 230 pounds he slowly and steadily loses more and more weight, every few days. Here our main character, Scott, is losing weight but staying the exact same size. The premise flips one of those old switches that King loves to turn on from time to time. ![]() It appears In this last decade that King has found a spot for warmth and goodness. This very short novel works nicely and falls into a convenient niche in the monolithic writings of King. ![]() 5/23/2023 0 Comments Geist by philippa ballantine![]() ![]() ![]() What he lacks in experience he makes up for in his ability to diffuse situations. Merrick and Sorcha are a great pair of characters as Sorcha is the grumpy older, experienced Deacon and poor Merrick tries everything in his power to live up to the expectations of his partner. Geist is a pretty good read but I found that the book climaxed in the middle of the story, leaving me feeling rather empty and unimpressed after the final battle. Geist is one of those books that seems to both hit and miss at the same time, as Deacons Merrick and Sorcha try to prevent their world from becoming possessed by geists. Even if she survives, what hell would she be returning to?įantasy stories about demons, ghouls and other worldly beings are always rather hit and miss. ![]() ![]() It's a conspiracy of evil that reaches back to her own Abbey. Sorcha, among the most powerful of the Order, is called to a small settlement, But more is occuring than just geist activity. Between the living and the dead is the Order of the Deacons, protectors of the Empire, guardians against possession, sentinels enlisted to ward off malevolent hauntings by the geists. ![]() 5/23/2023 0 Comments The Last Stormlord by Glenda Larke![]() ![]() Themes of family and identity dominate a story line that is both intimate and world-spanning.
