![]() Relying too heavily on the fact that she has a guardian angel puts Nora at risk again and again. ![]() Since Patch isn't answering her questions and seems to be standing in her way, she has to start finding the answers on her own. She graduated college with a degree in health, which she promptly abandoned for storytelling. The further Nora delves into the mystery of her father's death, the more she comes to question if her Nephilim bloodline has something to do with it as well as why she seems to be in danger more than the average girl. Becca Fitzpatrick is the author of Black Ice, Dangerous Lies, and the Hush, Hush saga, including Hush, Hush Crescendo Silence and Finaleall four of which debuted as New York Times bestsellers. Not to mention that Nora is haunted by images of her father and she becomes obsessed with finding out what really happened to him that night he left for Portland and never came home. ![]() Patch is starting to pull away and Nora can't figure out if it's for her best interest or if his interest has shifted to her arch-enemy, Marcie Millar. ![]() ![]() Despite starting a relationship with her guardian angel, Patch (who, title aside, can be described as anything but angelic), and surviving an attempt on her life, things are not looking up. Nora should have known her life was far from perfect. ![]() ![]() ![]() Jahmyr Gibbs will have to avoid the now dreaded “Curse of Barry Sanders,” but he landed in what should remain a high-octane Lions offense and should be the main man long term.Īt tight end, I’ve ranked Dalton Kincaid as the best dynasty option with Michael Mayer second and Sam LaPorta third. In fact, he’s my third overall dynasty player. Mobile field generals can be gold in fantasy land.Īmong the running backs, I’m expecting rookie Bijan Robinson to make a huge Year 1 impact in Atlanta. Stroud were the first signal-callers picked in the actual draft, but I like Anthony Richardson as the top dynasty option at the position. I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system for these rankings, which highlight long-term, dynasty formats. ![]() With that said, here’s my updated look at every position as we inch closer to the summer. It also means we can now better project fantasy rookie values with their new teams. The 2023 NFL draft is in the books, and we now have a clear idea of what a lot of the team rosters and depth charts will look like when training camps open.

After a while I was tired of the author criticising everything. ![]() For her it is all exaggeration, sexualisation and cheap entertainment. The author is very critical of movies, book and paintings about Cleopatra. Or writing about her, or painting pictures of her. That's all very well, but if that was all Cleopatra did in her life, not many people would enjoy reading about her. ![]() The author seemed to be very annoyed that nobody recognises what a great ruler Cleopatra was, what a great administrator and she even learned Egyptian (the first ruler from her dynasty who did it). As the heir of Caesar, Octavian couldn't let the son of Cleopatra and Caesar roam free as a prince of Egypt, could he? He couldn't let Mark Anthony and Cleopatra rule independently from Rome, could he? These were powerful man that could help her, but unfortunately her relationships with them were her undoing. She also had a love affair with Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony. The problem is that her story was told by men, her enemies, so how can we know what was true and what wasn't? Well, you can't dismiss the facts that Cleopatra was a pharaoh, she ruled Egypt and did anything she could to protect her kingdom and her children. The book "Cleopatra" reminded me why the woman behind myth and history all tangled together is so fascinating. ![]() The life and death of Cleopatra made her legendary. ![]() ![]() ![]() The book ends by discussing the completion of the canal and its impact on the world.

There are a couple better examples of men in the story, though. ![]() Materena’s husband, Pito, is presented as a typical Tahitian man, and has almost nothing going for him – he’s unsupportive, lazy, self-absorbed, and drunk half the time. I have to admit that while other readers have found the supportive relationships amongst the women of the extended family heartwarming, my enjoyment was somewhat counterbalanced by irritation with the men. Distinctive word usage and speech patterns make their way into the text, giving the novel a feeling of authenticity (which makes sense, since the author is Tahitian). It is a sweet book, Materena and Leilani are strong characters, the story stays interesting even without a single driving plotline, and it provides a fun way to learn about Tahiti and its culture. It is not a plot-driven sort of novel short chapters explore various incidents in the family’s life, as well as that of the community.Īs I said, I enjoyed this. ![]() The book begins before Leilani’s birth and follows the family until she’s an adult.
