Early 20th century work. I enjoy the voice of the author while exercising her tenet of, “Holding my tongue,” as she expresses thoughts and ideas limited to her race and time. I will definitely research the “history” of Algebra and ignore the, is it a hot pot or a cool pot? experiment suggested for toddlers as a means of introducing the idea of algebraic thinking.
Hopefully the editing staff was more attentive while working on this volume. Edited to add my hopes dashed by page seventeen.
Determined to finish the trilogy before the year‘s end. Happy to see Koloth is a part of the adventure. Edit to add: The grammar is distracting. There are numerous mistakes including calling one character by another character‘s name. Koloth remains true to form so far.
A book for the season.
“Imagination…is a way of seeing…everything and everyone in a light of gold…correspondences and analogies and echoes and resemblances, so that nothing existed without a thousand connections to the world…”
*sigh* I wish cover artists would be more in alignment with the story. The person on the left is supposed to resemble a wyvern with patterned scaled skin. Someone who, in silhouette, resembles a delicate dragon. Not even going to talk about the clothing for both except to say it looks like they‘re going on an ice skating date.
I would say using this book as a basic structure for the camp was a good idea. I did modify some aspects and included some tricks from a similar NaNoWriMo camp I led before. Would recommend using this for similar 7-12 year old range.
I‘m leading a week long summer writing camp for elementary students. I‘m going to use this book as the base.
I first read this story in elementary. I loved the relationship Simsa had with Zass. I reread the story specifically to collect details of Zass. I‘m not sure if the printing process had limited editorial oversight, when younger I just “replaced and added” as I read, or recent reprints are not reviewed but there were many instances of omitted words and odd sentence construction. Hopefully it‘s just the edition I reread.
The premise very much reminds me of The Plague by Camus. I remember that book gave nightmares to my peers in high school. I‘m curious to see how Pamuk varies the theme.
I‘m going to have to make that home library list of Star Trek books. This is the third I‘ve restarted before realizing I‘ve read it before 😁
Getting around to reading the other the book in this volume. Just finished the story. Parts remind me of Slaughter House Five: time is fluctuating, war is a constant, people are more than their linear contexts.
A historical novel about young Julius Caesar. It reminded me a bit of I, Claudius without all the action, if that makes sense. I‘m not sure if I was supposed to admire Caesar or reflect on the idea that how one begins is not always how one ends.
So very many past and present world parallels to this never ending cycle of vengence.
Finally getting to this series.
Reminiscences of A Swiftly Tilting Planet combine with some foreshadowing of Jemison‘s City and a wee bit of Dream.
