Ok, Zirene ( his name ) F’ed in ways I can’t imagine any H I’d ever love would. This didn’t feel ( ever!) like the reconnections of two souls who are supposedly “fated mates” and had been building towards something together for nine l o n g years. You know I’m not sure to describe him but you know the “cubs” were furry soo think of halo shifted werewolves ie shifters and I’ll sure you’ll get it.Īnyway I was soo excited but while I’m all for Selena not be walked on and standing up for her rights and the rights of those she cares for. Well Serena meets her mystery man and he’s a Prince, sounds like a humanoid type leopard □ or something like that. ⚠️ Always a possibility of spoilers with me ⚠️ Ok, we start exactly the last book left off and while her mystery lover literally and figuratively “F’ed” up, I was excited to see their reunion and see how they moved forward together as a couple and as new parents. This just didn’t work for me at any level. Oddly interesting at times,soo dry I felt the need to stay hydrated at others and clinical and boring at other times.

Gaddis does concede that “grand strategies have traditionally been associated, however, with the planning and fighting of wars.” And so wars - or rather how not to lose them - are the general theme of his often didactic book. “On Grand Strategy,” by John Lewis Gaddis, a pre-eminent historian and biographer of the Cold War, does not offer a comprehensive analysis, much less a history, of strategy on a grand scale in the manner of the classic studies by Angelo Codevilla, Edward Mead Earle, Lawrence Freedman, B. It denotes encompassing all the resources that a state can focus - military, economic, political and cultural - to further its own interests in a global landscape. What is “grand strategy” as opposed to simple strategy? The term is mostly an academic one. ON GRAND STRATEGY By John Lewis Gaddis 368 pp. It's time I showed them all - my family, her family, my friends - that I will never change and that I have no other ambition than to be the nightmare of their lives. No, it's time I listened to my father and took control of my future. The Ashby women are alone now and desperate for a knight in shining armor. Give her, her sister, and her mother nowhere to run and no fuel to escape. He told them his little girl was a victim, but I was a kid, too, and she wanted it just as much as I did. He wants to make everything hurt.įirst thing's first. And while I anticipated his vengeance, I didn't expect this. Three years came and went too fast, and now he's anything but calm. Perhaps I thought I'd have time to disappear before he got out or he'd cool off in jail and be anything but the horror he was. It didn't matter that he did the crime or that I wished he was dead. Sending him to prison was the worst thing I could've done. Syllables are combined into certain metrical groupings called feet (see section 3), and feet are combined into verses. Unlike English poetry, which produces its effect by a sequence of accented and unaccented syllables, Latin poetry uses a predetermined sequence of long and short syllables, a sequence determined by the meter of the poem. There are two kinds of syllabic quantity - long and short (defined in the next section). Quantity is the amount of time taken to pronounce a syllable. The Quantitative Basis of Latin poetryĢLatin poetry depends for its rhythm on quantity rather than accent. What follows is a quick overview in the basic principles of hexametric verse. His lines flow like those of no other poet - and he is therefore an ideal author for learning how to read and to appreciate Latin hexameters. 1One of the great pleasures of reading Ovid’s Metamorphoses is his verse-craft. Now Cerys carries a small bit of the curse-the magic-in her blood, a reminder of the day she lost everything.Īs a new queen is crowned, however, things long hidden in the woods descend on the kingdom itself. But as Aloriya prospered, the woods grew dark, cursed, and forbidden.Ĭerys knows this all too well: When she was young, she barely escaped as the woods killed her friends and her mother. It has been this way for hundreds of years, since the first king made a bargain with the Lady who ruled the forest that borders the kingdom. Here there are no droughts, disease, or famine, and peace is everlasting. Ashley Poston, acclaimed author of Heart of Iron, returns with a dark, lush fairy tale–inspired fantasy for fans of Sara Raasch and Susan Dennard.Ĭerys is safe in the Kingdom of Aloriya. Howe examines the rise of Andrew Jackson and his Democratic party, but contends that John Quincy Adams and other Whigs-advocates of public education and economic integration, defenders of the rights of Indians, women, and African-Americans-were the true prophets of America's future. In his story, the author weaves together political and military events with social, economic, and cultural history. These innovations prompted the emergence of mass political parties and stimulated America's economic development from an overwhelmingly rural country to a diversified economy in which commerce and industry took their place alongside agriculture. Railroads, canals, newspapers, and the telegraph dramatically lowered travel times and spurred the spread of information. A panoramic narrative, What Hath God Wrought portrays revolutionary improvements in transportation and communications that accelerated the extension of the American empire. In this Pulitzer prize-winning, critically acclaimed addition to the series, historian Daniel Walker Howe illuminates the period from the battle of New Orleans to the end of the Mexican-American War, an era when the United States expanded to the Pacific and won control over the richest part of the North American continent.
