Set in the family corporate world of the Kinsmen, this book introduces Matias Baena and Ramona Adler, mortal enemies, heads of their families, and secare, able to form seco blades and shields with their bodies. Fated Blades can be read as a stand-alone, but the overall worldbuilding is better understood when read as a set in my opinion. Who doesn’t love warring space families with special powers and all the sci-fi tech their heart desires? If you haven’t dived into the first two books in this series yet, Silent Blade and Silver Shark, I urge you to do so as soon as possible. Which is a shame because it, like all of their work, is beyond awesome. Before I get into this review I just have to say bravo to the cover artist for this beautiful cover and how well matched it is to a certain pivotal scene.įated Blades is part of the Kinsmen universe, one of this author duo’s lesser-known series.

Then Sapolsky pulls out to a slightly larger field of vision, a little earlier in time: What sight, sound, or smell caused the nervous system to produce that behavior? And then, what hormones acted hours to days earlier to change how responsive that individual is to the stimuli that triggered the nervous system? By now he has increased our field of vision so that we are thinking about neurobiology and the sensory world of our environment and endocrinology in trying to explain what happened. A behavior occurs - whether an example of humans at our best, worst, or somewhere in between. Sapolsky's storytelling concept is delightful but it also has a powerful intrinsic logic: He starts by looking at the factors that bear on a person's reaction in the precise moment a behavior occurs, and then hops back in time from there, in stages, ultimately ending up at the deep history of our species and its evolutionary legacy.Īnd so the first category of explanation is the neurobiological one. From the celebrated neurobiologist and primatologist, a landmark, genre-defining examination of human behavior, both good and bad, and an answer to the question: Why do we do the things we do?

The deep ones are presented as just another ethnic group that has been horribly mistreated by White America. Reviewers are correct to praise the radical viewpoint this work presents and how this turns the standard idea of a Lovecraftian protagonist on its head but fail to note that once you get past this unique idea there is very little worth remembering about this novel. Emrys deserves full credit for creating an amazing hook for this novel. I genuinely disliked this novel and feel distinctly cheated that it is so overhyped in every review I read online.The idea behind this novel is a genuine breakthrough for a genre that has many detractors pointing to the wild racism of Lovecraft and asking if he deserves to be remembered fondly for his literary contributions. “Highly recommended as a memoir that combines nature, writing, and personal reflection.”- Library Journal, Starred Review “A profound and inspiring love letter to one piece of Earth-and to the rest of it, as well.” – Kirkus, Starred Review “If Cowboys Are My Weakness was Pam Houston’s call to millions of women-blasting us with self-recognition of how we give away our own power-then her new book is the response to that call.” Sara Cutaia for the Chicago Review of Books In a time where the world is either drowning, or burning, or being drilled-into, Houston’s outlook promises a better tomorrow – even if that means we’re no longer here.” And as equally deep is her ability for hope. “Pam Houston is in possession of a deep, heart-achingly beautiful love for her own personal piece of earth. A third kind of book is so insightful and evocative, you shelve it beside other favorite and instructive titles. Other times, you read a good memoir and find yourself wanting to track down the author and become friends. “…good writing can make you envious, no matter how foreign the terrain.
