![]() ![]() While the combat system does include jousting, dueling and other combat appropriate to the game, the rules really bog down the excitement instead of enhancing it.Īnother problem with the game is that only four character classes are allowed. The Amazing Engine rules are overly complex. The main problem with this game and the reason it only received average scores from me is the rule system. Magic in the game is all technologically based, so your "ring of flight" could possibly "break down" in midflight! ![]() The monster section is fairly good and includes such famed creatures as the Questing Beast and the White Stag. I was also pleasantly surprised to find a small section on shield heraldry. A brief history of chivalry is provided which adds some flavor to the game as well. There is some information on all the inhabited worlds in the solar system all the way out to the moons of Saturn. ![]() All the major personages from the classic Arthurian legend are covered in good detail. The background for the game is quite good for the price of the book. Merlin takes the form of an artificial intelligence residing in Arthur's mainframe computer. Arthur rules more than Camelot in this game, he rules the entire solar system. All the usual characters one might expect from the setting are present from Arthur himself and his Knights of the Round Table to Morgan le Fay and other forces of evil. This is King Arthur Pendragon set in the year 4485AD. ![]()

On the surface of the moon the two men discover a desolate landscape, but as the sun rises, the thin, frozen atmosphere vaporizes and strange plants begin to grow with extraordinary rapidity. On the way to the moon, they experience weightlessness, which Bedford finds "exceedingly restful". ![]() Cavor hits upon the idea of a spherical spaceship made of "steel, lined with glass", and with sliding "windows or blinds" made of cavorite by which it can be steered, and persuades a reluctant Bedford to undertake a voyage to the moon Cavor is certain there is no life there. Bedford sees in the commercial production of cavorite a possible source of "wealth enough to work any sort of social revolution we fancied we might own and order the whole world". ![]() ![]() When a sheet of cavorite is prematurely produced, it makes the air above it weightless and shoots off into space. Bedford befriends Cavor when he learns he is developing a new material, cavorite, that can negate the force of gravity. After two weeks Bedford accosts the man, who proves to be a reclusive physicist named Mr. He is bothered every afternoon, however, at precisely the same time, by a passer-by making odd noises. Bedford rents a small countryside house in Lympne, in Kent, where he wants to work in peace. The narrator is a London businessman who withdraws to the countryside to write a novel by which he hopes to alleviate his financial problems. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This feels more like a first draft than an ARC. So who better to save it than three quirky cool girls, am I right.Įxcept that the first two thirds (TWO!!! THIRDS!!!!) is just them finding out that the bookstore is failing, so the plot feels super lopsided and almost deus ex machina-y and lame. This Is All Your Fault is about a ragtag group of teen girls (and also boys, but they are continually just forgotten about, even as they exist in the same building as the aforementioned girls) who work in a bookstore and then must save the bookstore because that quirky cool bookstore is closing. Then I kept reading, and it kept disappointing me, and it became a generous 3.Īnd then I had the miraculous experience that is watching Empire Records, and we all boarded the rating train straight to Twosville. This book ripped off Empire Records, and it didn’t even do that good of a job.īefore reading this, I had never seen Empire Records, and I felt like this could be a 4.5 star read. Not an adaptation of this book, which is not out yet, but somehow already exists. If you feel at all compelled to read this book, I must recommend you watch a movie instead.

I’m glad to say that I’ve succeeded but it was no difficult task. Inspired by this week’s release of The Hunger Games on the big screen, I made it my goal to read all three novels in the trilogy before I treated myself to the film. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One night, while on patrol, he and also his partner, Connie Gulliver, stumble upon a strange scene: a homeless guy with glowing eyes and mythological powers.

Among Sibyl's patients in 1981, the year Connie turned 14, was a minister's wife named Charlotte Bedford, a fragile woman whose incredibly difficult labor led to a stroke and what appeared to be Charlotte's death. Still, neighbors who wanted to have their babies at home felt comfortable calling on her. But as her obstetrician daughter, Connie, points out, Sibyl never bothered to obtain certification from the American College of Nurse-Midwives. From the day back in the '60s when Sibyl Danforth stepped forward in an emergency to help a pregnant friend give birth, she fell in love with the birthing process and dedicated herself to a calling as a lay midwife in rural Vermont. Bohjalian (Water Witches, 1995, etc.) blends some provocative moral, medical, and political issues into a classic coming-of-age story in this To Kill a Mockingbirdlike reminiscence of the murder trial of a midwife, as witnessed by her teenaged daughter. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Margot's relationship with her husband was already bedevilled by her stepdaughter's jealous, almost incestuous adoration of her father. Against this background of a government beset with troubles, the Prime Minister fell desperately in love with his daughter's best friend, Venetia Stanley to complicate matters, so did his Private Secretary. In 1912, when Anne de Courcy's book opens, rumblings of discontent and cries for social reform were encroaching on all sides - from suffragettes, striking workers and Irish nationalists. Yet her last four years at Number 10 were a period of intense emotional and political turmoil in her private and public life. Known for her wit, style and habit of speaking her mind, she transformed 10 Downing Street into a glittering social and intellectual salon. ![]() ![]() Margot Asquith was perhaps the most daring and unconventional Prime Minister's wife in British history.
