As the island’s annual market hits full swing, a convoy of Imperial Republic ships arrives with their paper money and treaties, marking the beginning of Taranoke’s swift annexation by the Empire of Masks.īut the Imperial Republic arrives with more than just a monopoly on trade. Baru was still too young to smell the empire wind.” – The Traitorīaru Cormorant lives a quiet childhood on Taranoke with her mother and fathers, crafting telescope lenses from kelp ash to earn a modest living. I’ve found the books challenging but deeply rewarding, and highly recommend them to fans of complex political fantasy. So instead, I’ll provide a brief introduction to The Masquerade series, and a spoiler-free review of book three aimed at convincing new readers to pick up this incredible series. I’d planned to write a review of the completed series until I found out that there will be a fourth instalment, after Dickinson’s draft of book two was split into what is now The Monster, followed by The Tyrant. I was lucky enough to receive a copy of The Tyrant, so I finally dove into these hard fantasy books. That includes things such as eradication of sexual violence and domestic abuse, unequal pay, a lack of women in positions of power, countless other issues of equalities. In the end, trans and cis women share experiences in a society that still doesn’t treat women as equal – and instead of wrongly targeting and excluding trans people, we should be standing together in solidarity and fighting for causes that still need campaigning for. It is only by standing together in solidarity against systems of oppression that we can bring about the change we need We don’t exist in society just as bodies – we exist as people, with diverse lived realities, nuances and complexities. Her words capture quite easily what being a woman is about – which is not just one thing or one experience and it was a reminder of how someone can clearly and concisely state their values of inclusion without getting dragged into a false debate that’s framed against trans people from the start. For us, transgender women are women and we want to share and celebrate their experience with them.’ Green summarised her view succinctly as ‘Being part of the WI is about the experience of being a woman, and that is a combination of both biology and lived experience. Now, however, a campaigning group called the Women’s Institute Women’s Declaration has said that their trans-inclusive policy puts the organisation in an ‘untenable position’ and has called for a moratorium on trans women joining.

While tracing Rao?s life from a village in Telangana through his years in power and humiliation in retirement, the book never loses sight of the inner man, his difficult childhood, his corruptions and love affairs, his lingering loneliness. With exclusive access to Rao?s never-before-seen personal papers as well as over a hundred interviews, this definitive biography provides new revelations on the Indian economy, nuclear programme, foreign policy and the Babri Masjid. Few world leaders have achieved so much with so little power. Despite being unloved by his people, mistrusted by his party, a minority in Parliament and ruling under the shadow of 10 Janpath, Rao reinvented India, at home and abroad. Narasimha Rao became the unlikely prime minister of India in 1991, he inherited economic crisis, violent insurgencies and a nation adrift. While Jennifer is desperate to experience life on her own terms within her reduced financial means, her neighbor Alice is pre-occupied with ensuring her position as head of her brother's household is never challenged. Published in 1931, Father explores the concept of spinsterhood in a time when the financial and social status of single women were often dependent on male family members. Quickly she secures the lease of Rose Cottage and turns her attention to her own needs and interests. After the sudden announcement that he has taken a new wife, Jennifer, at 33, seizes the opportunity to lead an independent life. Since her mother's death Jennifer has devoted years of her life to her father, managing the family home and acting as his secretary. ?There came a moment, she imagined, in the lives of most unmarried daughters, and perhaps in other people's too, when they must either bolt or go permanently under.' His first novel, The African Child or The Black Child, was compulsory literature in many schools in Africa, including my birthplace Liberia. This language has its origins in Mali, and it is divided in the Mandé f u and the Mandé tan group of languages, meaning that number ten ends with fu in one group and tan in another.Ĭamara Laye was a great writer. In fact, many of the people of Sierra Leone, Gambia, Guinea, Mali, and almost the entire population of Liberia belong to the Mandé speaking language group. Laye focused on his own people, the Mandé, who are spread across Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Gambia, Burkina Faso, Ghana and Mali. In his seminal work, The Guardian of the Word, Guinean novelist Camara Laye explored the work of Djeli’s in several countries in West Africa. They even resonate in the works of rappers and spoken word artists. The djelis took cultures and traditions across the African continent and even the world. Most autistic representations are men, so it was refreshing to see a story about autism from a girl’s POV. It gives the audience a rare perspective in the media - the point of view (POV) of an autistic woman, Stella. This book is my second favorite of the trilogy. The first book in the New Adult (NA) rom-com trilogy series by Helen Hoang. We barely get that representation in the real world book settings, let alone the sci-fi or fantasy settings. It’s very difficult to find well written autistic characters in fantasy, which is my favorite genre to read. The other issue is that a lot of it isn’t good representation. There is very little autistic representation in the media in general, but especially in the YA genre of books. An interesting note: three of them are a trilogy by the same author. As April is Autism Acceptance Month, I wanted to write about four of my favorite autistic characters in New Adult (NA) and Young Adult (YA) books that I’ve read. But her new powers come with a terrifying price. Suddenly Gemma is stronger, faster, and more beautiful than ever. They invite her to join them, and the next morning she wakes up on the beach feeling groggy and sick, knowing something is different. She's taking a late night swim under the stars when she finds Penn, Lexi and Thea partying on the cove. Then one night, Gemma's ordinary life changes forever. He's always been just a friend, but this summer they've taken their relationship to the next level, and now there's no going back. Gemma seems to have it all-she's carefree, pretty, and falling in love with Alex, the boy next door. She's the one they've chosen to be part of their group. Strangers in town for the summer, Penn, Lexi and Thea have caught everyone's attention-but it's Gemma who's attracted theirs. They're the kind of girls you envy the kind of girls you want to hate. Fall under the spell of Wake-the first book in an achingly beautiful new series by celebrated author Amanda Hocking-and lose yourself to the Watersong. |
