![]() I am so glad that books like these exist for children (and for us children's-book-loving adults, too). Ember's End is a moving, fitting culmination of the journey. I truly believe that Smith has channeled that same spirit throughout the Green Ember series. ![]() Tolkien understood the unparalleled power of a good story to help us escape not from reality, but into reality. How does one put into words the truly bittersweet feeling that accompanies reaching the end of a great story-the simultaneous joy of seeing how it all turns out and the sadness of having to say goodbye? How does one explain that this children's novel is a true story (see Smith's wonderful author's note at the end), not because the rabbits in our backyards are out fighting with swords, but because it reflects ultimate reality? Smith is a big fan of Tolkien, and so am I. The best stories are sometimes the hardest to review. ![]()

Now tarot is used for personal development, spiritual connection, and gaining greater awareness between the universe and the self,” says Melinda Lee Holm, a Los Angeles-based high priestess and tarot practitioner who frequently works with music industry insiders and whose clients include Dhani and Olivia Harrison, Dita Von Teese, and GZA. “Traditionally, it used to be a predictive tool.

Also the fact that not all the secrets were revealed is very gothic, we thought more of the time that the secrets were nothing big and scary but just a literary device. ![]() ![]() Once you realise this is a parody there is an awful lot more to laugh at including the massive amounts of references to gothic books of the time with people "taking to their beds" something i think we would all like to do at one time or another. For example, we all found it hilarious when Urk charged out of the farmhouse with Merium. Having said this there are a few moments in the book that are laugh-out-loud funny but mostly towards the end of the novel. This ensures that you go into the book understanding that it's a parody and not something that is as funny as a stand alone novel. The book group have one major thing to say about this book, and that is you must read the prologue to the book! Possibly read the prologue after having read the book as well as before. ![]() ![]() The characters are every bit themselves, so it's familiar, but it's also realistic. It's that dynamic and tone that makes the issue a genuinely pleasurable read. The freshly minted king does as Loki does sometimes and gets bored, quickly getting himself into a bit of mischief on Earth, mischief that Thor has to come help clean up before giving his brother a bit of advice-and perhaps a gentle admonishment as well. Except, being a king isn't always all it's cracked up to be and this is Loki we're talking about. He's a king now, Loki made it, he has everything he's ever wanted. This set him up to rule the land of the Frost Giants while his brother, Thor, rules Asgard. Loki went from villain to hero and found himself rewarded for this evolution of his character in that he was installed on the throne of Jotunheim. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Now I just have to convince my body-and my heart.
