![]() ![]() The way the narrator idolized Ethan, though, because of his disability, was really weird and creepy though. Ethan Frome is a bland story that follows the life of a boring person, up until we start to get more information on Ethan. It was dry and bland, and I was constantly waiting for something to happen that would pique my interest. Maybe this story might have been redeemed by decent writing, but there was really nothing special about Wharton’s writing. Ethan Frome ended up being exactly what I assumed it would be: offensive to disabled peoples, following a ridiculous story that was disappointing and exasperating all at once. I really wasn’t looking forward to this book, mainly because it just seemed othering of disabled peoples, but I eventually had to read it because we often have in-class essays dedicated to the books we read, and I couldn’t exactly just throw myself under that bus. ![]() An unknown person, new to the town of Starkfield, finds himself obsessed with the history of one of the town’s citizens, Ethan Frome, and specifically how he found himself stuck in Starkfield, and not in some grander place. ![]() ![]() But the other reason is because it takes place far away from the San Francisco/Bay Area settings that Robin writes so well. I think that's because it's a little more removed from the main action of the stories we already know, and because it's not nearly as complex. As delightful as it is, I didn't love The Suitcase Clone quite as much as the other books in this series. I'll be honest, you really don't need to do that to read this latest, though doing so is a pleasure in it's own right. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore and Sourdough. In anticipation of the novella, I revisited Ajax Penumbra, 1969 Mr. This is Jim's story-not about the sourdough, really, but something that happened just after. But also with the feeling that Robin Sloan wasn't done with this world.Īs for the story itself, when Lois visits the Cafe Candide kitchen in Sourdough, she learns of a Jim Bascule who, decades earlier, baked sourdough like hers. ![]() It's deep into the book before the crossover become explicit, and even then, it left me with more questions than answers. It was promised that it would unite all of Robin's major works in a single "Penumbraverse." But it's far more connected to Sourdough than Mr. ![]() From that brief reference springs this prequel novella, set in the 80s. ![]() In the novel Sourdough, there's a throwaway line where someone asks Lois if she knows about suitcase clones. ![]() ![]() ![]() All this, though, occurs outside the feature presentation, which would have benefited from more thought applied to its resolutely simple plot. This includes charmingly illustrated descriptions of the trades prevalent in the society Petersen establishes, convincing maps and diagrams and lovely spreads of the mouse village. Any imaginative child will surely be instantly fascinated by the bonus material. Petersen has spent considerable time creating the background detail, how his society works, the history leading to it, and the nooks and crannies the mice use. ![]() ![]() The Mouse Guard books are very highly rated, award winning in fact, although in the children’s category, and very nicely drawn by David Petersen, but while having charm, the overall appeal of this mash-up of The Three Musketeers with Beatrix Potter is elusive beyond the art. ![]() ![]() ![]() We were introduced to her perspective in Diamond Fire, but we learn so much more about her now. Sapphire Flames is the first book in Catalina’s trilogy. I would definitely read this series in order because you don’t want to miss a thing! ![]() I read this two months ago, and listened to it this week. I preordered this on Kindle (in November 2018!) and audio, as I have done for the entire Hidden Legacy series. These are my favorite authors and I am so excited this series is continuing. Nevada will have her fairy tale wedding, even if Catalina has to tear the mansion apart brick by brick to get it done. But she’s a Baylor and there’s nothing she wouldn't do for her sister's happiness. To make this wedding happen, Catalina will have to do the thing she fears most: use her magic. Someone is cheating, someone is lying, and someone is plotting murder. Then the wedding planner gets escorted off the premises, the bride’s priceless tiara disappears, and Rogan's extensive family overruns his mother’s home.
