Ma vediamo nel dettaglio cos’ho preso.Ĭome al solito sono stati gentilissimi a mettere anche dei segnalibri che questa volta sono uguali e in bianco e nero perché sono da colorare e poi condividere sui social taggando Book Depository, ma io credo che li lascerò così perché mi piacciono ugualmente. Visto che mi è stato regalato il secondo della serie delle Cronache Lunari di Marissa Meyer ho deciso di completare la serie, peccato che per il terzo volume mi sono accorta solo ora che il formato è diverso e quindi non so se venderlo per prendere tutte le stesse edizioni. Questi libri quindi sono in lingua originale, ovvero in inglese. Come avrete capito dal titolo e come avevo già detto negli ultimi aggiornamenti, ho comprato nuovi libri da Book Depository. ![]()

A majority of owners report that one of the reasons they enjoy keeping pets is that they consider them part of the family.Īmericans also love to eat animals.

He just wants to protect his people, so it’s a great way to remove that from the Acotar storyline and have the IC (mainly Nesta) to teach Bryce how to use the death throve. Remember Amren tells Rhys about the high king thing, and He doesn’t want to be one. Or she may do what she did in acotar and do a spin off after the main trilogy for the other characters. So it’s either going to be a long book like KoA to finish it, or maybe there will be more books. ![]() She may add more, but who knows at this point. They need to take care of their own problems before a hypothetical threat from another world.Īt this time SJM is only contacted for 3 books for Crescent City. Plus there is Koschei, the rest of the mortal queens, Baron, the spring court and the peace treaty to deal with. The other courts have their own problems to deal with. Kier won’t send the Darkbringers because there is nothing in it for him or them. The Illyrians won’t want to go since they just got back from one war and are all pissy from that and now because of the Valkyries. Plus, as a High Lord, he has to think of his own people. Her ancestors may have come from there but that was 15,000 years ago. ![]() I think it’s more so that Bryce can get the info that she needs and goes to hel for their army then back to Migard. I don’t think the IC is going to be in it much. So it makes sense that it comes out after cc3. If acotar comes out first it give spoilers for cc3. ![]() 7/5/2023 0 Comments Real friends hale![]() The main character has crippling anxiety and no wonder given the life the author has constructed for her- her friends referred to as The Group in this story are constantly bickering and insulting and manipulating each other, there is a part where they rate each other on notebook paper on looks and personality, teachers are belittled multiple times, there is sexual assault (a boy holding one girl while the other kisses the other girl, and they plan it in the scene right before) where there is only imagined retaliation by the main character (a super hero scene) but in the story of the book the girl said she wanted him to kiss her (wow! After his friend physically held your friend and forced himself on you?!) there is physical abuse by the older sister on multiple occasions graphically illustrated and also intense emotional put-downs, she imagines her own death- this book is a nightmare. The subject matter of this book is way beyond a 7 or 8 year olds mental development- please strongly reconsider if your child is this age. This book in a nutshell is everything I am trying to shield her from. Never again will we take a new recommendation without scanning through it first.shame on us. ![]() ![]() My 7 year old got this book because one of her friends has it and my daughter loves reading, she just reads through everything and we welcome any suggestions. ![]() I think the fact that the kids are rating this for a higher age than even the adults is telling. ![]() |
