There were supper tables consisting of every delicacy of the season and as you would expect, plenty of dancing and of course, with Georgiana’s love of gambling, there were card tables.

Her henchmen leaned toward cheesy at times, but I guess you can't have it all. Grotesque was a b-rated bad guy and pretty much disposable, but Knightfall was really interesting. The sub-plot involving him gave the story a creepy undertone that I really appreciated. Wouldn't you just try to get your kid help? Who just walks away when a little kid threatens them? However, I'm not sure I can totally buy into the reasoning on that one. The reason for her mother's abandonment is also finally revealed. You see some flashbacks in the beginning that explain more of her New 52 origin.not much difference, but still. ![]() ![]() This was better than volume one, in my opinion. ![]() 6/29/2023 0 Comments River of Teeth by Sarah Gailey![]() ![]() ![]() There are hippos (because a few decades earlier, the US government imported them to help with hunger then things got a bit weird, some of them escaped and tuned feral and bayous of Louisiana were never the same). Set in the 1890s in an alternate America, this novella should have been a lot of fun. I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a free copy through NetGalley for an honest review! ( ) On the plus side are they interesting characters and I'm looking forward to getting to know them more in the next novella! Personally, did I struggle a bit with keeping the characters (and hippos) apart, and I would have loved a deeper introduction into each and every one of the characters. I do think that if you like alternative stories should you really read this book. ![]() This is book one so it will be more of them and I will definitely read them. It's a short story only 152 pages long and that could be why I felt like I wanted more meat to the story. I loved the idea of this book, with hippos in the marshlands of Louisiana and the story was interesting, but it ended when it started to get really interesting. But, at the same time did I feel that this was not a book that I devoured. ![]() Sure it's good, with an interesting story and some really gruesome scenes. I think in the end, that I just had too high hope on this book. ![]() ![]() ![]() International Communist Seminar (Brussels) This man became the official voice for the five per cent of Tsarists, bourgeois, speculators, kulaks, pimps, maffiosi and Vlasovites, all justifiably repressed by the socialist state. ![]() With regard to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's research Gulag Archipelago, Martens stated: In Another View of Stalin, Martens regards as the main factor behind the Ukrainian famine (Holodomor) to be bad conditions and alleged class enemy.
