![]() Still, it was a recognized geologist/professor (to my understanding) making the attacks that were refuted. Here's a better, still frankly above average example:įair enough on the magazine, I literally checked this stuff out in the past few days. ![]() Works like my former workplace are weird exception to what a stone circle in the British Isles normally looks like. Like, these works may look isolated when you talk about only the headline entities that clearly had the most work and thought put into them, but often there's quite a few more, and quite more mundane examples, that just don't get the same attention. That does not require a singular, unifying source, that's just emergent habits based upon common material context.Ģ) Read up on more kinds of megalithic monument, and other works besides. ![]() You are sitting on a sphere in space, it's not hard to align anything to 'the cosmos' in the first place, and even if we accept that such sites are - which for many, it should be note, it has been fringe speculation or the pet project of astronomers who have run away with themselves while not knowing the actual archaeology on the ground - it is entirely, readily possible for people in entirely separate contexts and cultures to think that matching their place of significance to something in the sky would help enhance the meaning of the site. Also if you're gonna pull the 'all the megalithic sites around the world are mostly attuned to the cosmos too' thing, I would like to raise two points:ġ) Raise specifics, not abstracts, if you're going to try and match them. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Overall, I enjoyed the Quarantined Series more than the Survival Series. Alissa and Jordan make an appearance towards the end of the second book and in parts of the third book of the trilogy.īoth sets of the books are worth reading and are similar in feel to other young adult dystopian novels that feature zombies, such as The Forest of Hands and Teeth. The threats are the zombies as well as different factions of colonists who have various agendas. This series features Joss and Ryan as they try to stay alive in Seattle. The Survival Series consists of three books, Writing on the Wall, Backs Against the Wall, and Tearing Down the Wall. The Survival Series is set in Seattle around eight to ten years later. Medication is not easy to acquire in the chaos. ![]() She needs medication, which becomes an immediate problem after the zombies attack. Until the End is told from Alissa's point of view, and In the End continues the story but is told from Jordan's point of view.Īdding to the drama is the fact that Alissa suffers from a mental illness that causes hallucinations. Two college students, Alissa and Jordan, escape together and try to get out of the quarantined area, which consists of much of Oregon. The opening pages of Until the End show the beginning of the zombie apocalypse in Portland, Oregon. The first is Quarantined, which consists of two books, Until the End and In the End. Tracey Ward has written two short young adult series that deal with a zombie apocalypse that began in the Pacific Northwest. ![]() ![]() The danger was a bit close to home this time, heightening the tension dramatically. Bree and her family continue to bond and grow stronger, even including Matt as part of that unit, along with their menagerie of pets. This was a gnarly, cleverly designed mystery that kept me thinking throughout. I’ll always opt to listen to this series. I’m still loving Traister’s storytelling skills and how she creates character distinctions. That killer is clever and therein lies the misdirection at times. We get the killer’s point of view early on and I’ve learned to pay close attention to subtle clues and doing that paid off, somewhat. My fear of them is beyond description so I had to claw through my own repulsion to stay focused (just a heads up!). But first I had to get around the snakes. ![]() I am a fan of misdirection and there’s a lot of that here. As they close in on a suspect, Bree receives a strange warning, causing her to wonder if she’s on the right track. ![]() As they’re pursuing that angle, another victim is discovered the next day in an almost identical manner, this time with a different word carved on his forehead. The closest clue to a suspect was his robust activity on a dating app. He was also a reptile collector, making the scene dangerous for law enforcement as well. Sheriff Bree Taggert and investigator Matt Flynn are called to a strange crime scene where the victim was bound and smothered with his face plastic wrapped and carved with one word. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A book of Raw Emotion!

Kay says that the province of Tigana, and thus the book, was inadvertently named after the football player Jean Tigana. The two sorcerers conquered simultaneously but independently the peninsula, and have divided it in an uneasy balance of power. This internal conflict facilitates the conquest of the region by two powerful sorcerers: Brandin, the King of Ygrath, and Alberico, an independent warlord from the empire of Barbadior. With great subtlety, Kay conveys the fact that all this takes place in the Southern Hemisphere of the unnamed world. The provinces are: Asoli, Astibar, Certando, Chiara, Corte, Ferraut, Senzio, Tigana, and Tregea. Īction is centered on the Peninsula of the Palm which shares a common culture and language, but, like medieval Italy, is not a unified nation, comprising instead nine provinces with a long history of internecine struggle. Kay notes that some of his readers tried to connect Tigana with A Song for Arbonne by speculating the stories take place on the same fictional world Kay explained that he only repeated the same idea rather than attempting to expand his canon. The world where Tigana takes place is a planet orbited by two moons. ![]() ![]() The novel is set in a region called the Peninsula of the Palm, which somewhat resembles Renaissance Italy as well as the Peloponnese in shape. ![]() Tigana is a 1990 fantasy novel by Canadian writer Guy Gavriel Kay. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The novel opens with a now teenaged Kira leaving “the Field” where she has sat vigil next to her mother’s body for the four days it takes for her spirit to pass.
