The Continent

The Continent

Published on 2018-04-01 by Harlequin

“Have we really come so far, when a tour of the Continent is so desirable a thing? We’ve traded our swords for treaties, our daggers for promises—but our thirst for violence has never been quelled. And that’s the crux of it—it can’t be quelled. It’s human nature.” For her sixteenth birthday, Vaela Sun receives the most coveted gift in all the Spire—a trip to the Continent. It seems an unlikely destination for a holiday: a cold, desolate land where two nations remain perpetually locked in combat. Most citizens lucky enough to tour the Continent do so to observe the spectacle and violence of battle, a thing long vanished in the peaceful realm of the Spire. For Vaela, the war holds little interest. As a talented apprentice cartographer and a descendant of the Continent herself, she sees the journey as a dream come true: a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to improve upon the maps she’s drawn of this vast, frozen land. But Vaela’s dream all too quickly turns to nightmare as the journey brings her face-to-face with the brutal reality of a war she’s only read about. Observing from the safety of a heli-plane, Vaela is forever changed by the sight of the bloody battle being waged far beneath her. And when a tragic accident leaves her stranded on the Continent, Vaela finds herself much closer to danger than she’d ever imagined—and with an entirely new perspective as to what war truly means. Starving, alone and lost in the middle of a war zone, Vaela must try to find a way home—but first, she must survive.

Don't you sort of loathe how we have joined the decadent stage of Goodreads whereby probably fifty percent (or more) of the reviews compiled by non-teenagers and non-romancers are actually naked and unabashed in their variously efficient efforts at being arch, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Do not you sort of wood (secretly, in the marrow of one's gut's happy druthers) for the nice ol'days of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all reviews were consistently plainspoke Do not you sort of hate how we've joined the decadent stage of Goodreads when probably fifty percent (or more) of the reviews published by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now bare and unabashed in their variously efficient efforts at being arch, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Do not you sort of wood (secretly, in the marrow of one's gut's happy druthers) for the great ol'days of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all opinions were evenly plainspoken, just practical, unpretentious, and -- above all else -- boring, dull, boring? Do not you type of hate when people claim'do not you believe in this manner or sense that way'in an endeavor to goad you both psychologically and grammatically in to agreeing using them? In the words of ABBA: I do, I actually do, I do(, I actually do, I do). Properly, because the interwebs is a world in which days gone by stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the current (and with fetish porn), we are able to revisit days gone by in their inviolable presentness any moment we wish. Or at least until this amazing site eventually tanks. Contemplate (won't you?) Matt Nieberle's overview of Macbeth in their entirety. I have bound it with a heavy string and drawn it here for your perusal. (Please realize that several a sic are implied in the following reviews.) its really difficult and silly! why cant we be reading like Romeo and Juliet?!?! at least that book is good! There you've it. Refreshingly, not a review prepared in one of the witch's comments or alluding to Hillary and Bill Clinton or discussing the reviewer's first period. Only a primal scream unleashed into the black wilderness of the cosmos.Yes, Mr. Nieberle is (probably) a teenager, but I admire his ability to strongarm the temptation to be clever or ironic. (Don't you?) He speaks the native language of the idk generation by having an economy and a quality that renders his convictions all the more emphatic. Here's MICHAEL's review of exactly the same play. You may'know'MICHAEL; he's the'Problems Architect'at Goodreads. (A problematic title itself in so it implies he designs problems... that will be the case, for several I know.) This book shouldn't be required reading... reading plays that that you don't want to read is awful. Reading a play kinda sucks to begin with, if it absolutely was supposed to be read, then it will be a novel, not just a play. Together with that the teach had us students read the play aloud (on person for every single character for a few pages). None people had read the play before. None of us wanted to see it (I made the mistake of taking the'easy'english class for 6 years). The teacher picked students that appeared to be they weren't paying attention. This compounded to create me more or less hate reading classics for something like 10 years (granted macbeth alone wasn't the problem). I also hate iambic pentameter. Pure activism there. STOP the mandatory reading of plays. It's wrong, morally and academically. Plus it can really fuck up your GPA. There's no wasteful extravagance in this editorial... no fanfare, no fireworks, no linked photos of half-naked, oiled-up, big-bosomed starlets, no invented dialogues between the writer and the review-writer. It's simple and memorable. Being required to read plays is wrong, and if you require anyone, under duress, to learn a play then you have sinned and will hell, in the event that you believe in hell. Or even, you're planning to the DMV. I'm also tired of all you could smug spelling snobs. You damnable fascists together with your new-fangled dictionaries and your fancy-schmancy spell check. Sometimes the passionate immediacy of an email overcomes its spelling limitations. Also, in this age whenever we are taught to respect each other's differences, this indicates offensively egocentric and mean-spirited you may anticipate others tokowtow in your small linguistic rules. Artsy manifestation will no cost per se regardless of how you are attempting for you to shackle it. Which is the signal, Aubrey. Throughout my very own view, this participate in Macbeth was the worste peice previously authored by Shakespeare, this says a reasonable amount looking at also i read through their Romeo along with Juliet. Ontop involving it's witout a doubt astounding storyline, impractical figures and absolutly discusting set of morals, Shakespeare overtly shows Sweetheart Macbeth as being the correct vilian inside the play. Thinking about jane is mearly your style around the back around along with Macbeth him self is truely spending the gruesome criminal activity, such as hard and scams, I do not understand why it's so effortless to assume in which Macbeth could be ready to undertake good in lieu of unpleasant but only if their wife were far more possitive. I do think that this engage in is actually uterally unrealistic. But the next is definitely the actual ne plus especially regarding vintage guide reviewing. When succinct along with with no distracting tendency so that you can coyness or perhaps cuteness, Jo's examine alludes with a bitterness so profound it is inexpressible. 1 imagines a handful of Signet Classic Designs compromised to be able to sections by using pruning shears with Jo's vicinity. I hate this play. So much in fact this I cannot sometimes give you virtually any analogies and also similes with regards to simply how much We not like it. The incrementally snarkier sort may have said one thing like...'I don't really like this play being a simile I can't show up with.' Not necessarily Jo. The girl converse your fresh, undecorated simple fact not fit intended for figurative language. As well as there's certainly nothing wrong together with that. Once throughout a fantastic when, once you get neck-deep inside dandified pomo hijinks, it can be a pleasant wallow while in the hog pencil you happen to be itchin'for. Thanks, Jo. Everyone loves anyone with a in vain greedy on similes that won't be able to tactic your bilious hate in your heart. That you are my own, along with My business is yours. Figuratively conversing, with course. And after this here i will discuss my own critique: Macbeth by way of Bill Shakespeare is the foremost fictional work from the The english language expressions, in addition to anyone who disagrees is definitely an asshole and a dumbhead.
