Stricken by the same curse that ruined Elantris, Raoden was secretly exiled by his father to the dark city. But neither Sarene nor Hrathen suspect the truth about Prince Raoden. So Sarene decides to use her new status to counter the machinations of Hrathen, a Fjordell high priest who has come to Kae to convert Arelon and claim it for his emperor and his god. Both Teod and Arelon are under threat as the last remaining holdouts against the imperial ambitions of the ruthless religious fanatics of Fjordell. She finds instead that Raoden has died and she is considered his widow. Princess Sarene of Teod arrives for a marriage of state with Crown Prince Raoden, hoping - based on their correspondence - to also find love. Arelon' s new capital, Kae, crouches in the shadow of Elantris. Elantrians became wizened, leper-like, powerless creatures, and Elantris itself dark, filthy, and crumbling. Ten years ago, without warning, the magic failed. Yet each of these demigods was once an ordinary person until touched by the mysterious transforming power of the Shaod. Elantris was the capital of Arelon: gigantic, beautiful, literally radiant, filled with benevolent beings who used their powerful magical abilities for the benefit of all. Of course, all ends well (assuming you were rooting for Goldilocks and not the dinosaurs) and Willems turns this retelling into a fable. It seems that pudding-filled little girls are the bon bon of choice for this species. The premise is that three dinosaurs (Papa, Mama, and a smaller one who is visiting from Norway) set a trap for Goldilocks, hoping to lure her to their house with chocolate pudding and then eat her when she falls asleep in one of their beds. Happily, just about all the gags in this book are targeted straight across at a folk-tale–knowledgeable elementary school audience. I'm okay with winks up to a point, but I don't like it when too many are aimed up over the heads of the kids. Like lots of fractured folktales, this is full of winks. Since this one is by Mo Willems, it had me at "Once upon a time." As far as I'm concerned, there can never be too many twisted folktale retellings. But Nainoa is gingerly delivered to his mother in the jaws of a shark, marking his story as the stuff of legends. When a shiver of sharks appears in the water, everyone aboard fears for the worst. In 1994 Kailua-Kona, Hawai’i, on a rare family vacation, seven-year-old Nainoa Flores falls off the side of a cruise ship.

He attended Portsmouth High School and he also attended University of New Hampshire for a few semesters. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and currently lives in both Maine and Florida. This thrilling adventure - based on existing records of Bernard Cornwell's ancestors, depicts a time when law and order were ripped violently apart by a pagan assault on Christian England, an assault that came very close to destroying England altogether. Above all, though, he wishes to recover his father's land, the magical fort of Bebbanburg by the wild northern sea. By now he is a young man, in love, trained to fight and ready to take his place in the dreaded shield wall. He certainly has no love for Alfred, whom he considers a pious weakling and no match for Viking savagery, yet when Alfred unexpectedly defeats the Danes and the Danes themselves turn on Uhtred, he has to decide which side he is on. The story is seen through the eyes of Uhtred, a dispossessed nobleman, who is captured as a child by the Danes and then raised by them so that, by the time the Northmen begin their assault on Wessex, Alfred's kingdom and the last territory in English hands, Uhtred almost thinks of himself as a Dane. This is the exciting - yet little known - story of the making of England in the ninth and 10th centuries, the years in which King Alfred, his son and grandson defeated the Danish Vikings who had invaded and occupied three of England's four kingdoms.

So, while this might technically be a review of the first volume of the comics published by Del Rey, it’s also a review of the entire Webtoon published up to this date. We are not going to discuss the fact that I read over half of them buried in a pile of blankets and awkwardly attached to my phone charging cable because I didn’t want to stop reading. Fortunately for me, the Webtoon is still available and there are nearly 200 episodes up. I heard soooo much hype about this and well, I just love Hades and Persephone retellings! This is easily binge-able – it’s only the first 25 episodes from the Webtoon – and I read it in a single evening. This volume collects episodes 1-25 of the #1 WEBTOON comic, Lore Olympus. Featuring a brand-new, exclusive short story, Smythe’s original Eisner-nominated web-comic Lore Olympus brings the Greek Pantheon into the modern age with this sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel. Scandalous gossip, wild parties, and forbidden love-witness what the gods do after dark in this stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of mythology’s most well-known stories from creator Rachel Smythe. Experience the propulsive love story of two Greek gods-Hades and Persephone-brought to life with lavish artwork and an irresistible contemporary voice. |
