Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 5
Seventeen-year-old Kid doesn’t know where her parents are. They left her with her grandmother Lolly, promising to return soon. That was months ago. Now, Lolly is dead and Kid is alone, stranded 10 miles off the coast of New Hampshire on tiny Swan Island. Unable to reach her parents, and with no other relatives to turn to, Kid works for a neighbor, airbrushing the past - digitally retouching family photos and movies - to earn enough money to survive.

The heartbreak
Revisado: 02-14-25
I’ve read this book a few times; the first time I couldn’t finish because of the heartbreak I felt, so palpable! If there had been a way I could’ve reached the kid, and held her, and kept her safe I would’ve. It was incredibly painful, powerfully moving and heart-wrenching. Season put me right there on the disintegrating island, wanting to grab the kid and get in our boat. So, I keep coming back to the book, to finish the entire story, to feel all the feels and to love the kid. Now and always.

A Discovery of Witches introduced Diana Bishop, Oxford scholar and reluctant witch, and vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont. Shadow of Night and The Book of Life carried Deborah Harkness's series to its spellbinding conclusion, and the trilogy has now sold more than two million copies in the United States and appeared in 38 editions around the world. All Souls fans have been captivated from the start by the many sources of inspiration Harkness draws on in her novels. Here, with her signature historian's touch, she offers an encyclopedic look at the series.

I’m so impressed by the depth and care given to this information. It had truly possessed me; I’ve gone down so many rabbit holes, chasing some tidbit of a subject. I want to live here!

Like all great metropolises before it, when a city gets big enough, old enough, it must be born; but there are ancient enemies who cannot tolerate new life. Thus New York will live or die by the efforts of a reluctant midwife...and how well he can learn to sing the city's mighty song.

The feeling of the connection with the city, of midwifery, of the fight against the enemy.

The rhythm of the words and the canter of Landon’s speech! It’s poetry and dance and music. It’s magick.

Deborah Harkness first introduced the world to Diana Bishop, an Oxford scholar and witch, and vampire geneticist Matthew de Clermont in A Discovery of Witches. Drawn to each other despite long-standing taboos, these two otherworldly beings found themselves at the center of a battle for a lost, enchanted manuscript known as Ashmole 782. Since then, they have fallen in love, traveled to Elizabethan England, dissolved the Covenant between the three species, and awoken the dark powers within Diana’s family line.

There have always been whispers. Legends. The warrior who cannot be killed. Who’s seen a thousand civilizations rise and fall. He has had many names: Unute, Child of Lightning, Death himself. These days, he’s known simply as “B.” And he wants to be able to die. In the present day, a U.S. black-ops group has promised him they can help with that. And all he needs to do is help them in return. But when an all-too-mortal soldier comes back to life, the impossible event ultimately points toward a force even more mysterious than B himself. One at least as strong. And one with a plan all its own.

China’s voice is so beautiful, theatrical and easy on the ear. I look forward to more of his voice work.

I liked the story line; the characters and the back stories. Now I’m anxious to read other of the Bzrkrz series. Yeah, I probably spelled that wrong but you know what I mean

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

I liked it all. Mr.King is a superlative storyteller. Or stenographer, whichever . I have stories that I felt wrote me, rather than the other way round

Maybe it was my phone or maybe it was the story - it was often jumbled and confusing. I didn’t get the outcome at all. I hope other listeners had a better experience

This story is a tight look at the prejudices and misogyny of the times; they’re not really gone today.
Revisado: 04-03-24
I disliked the narration; the way the sentences rose and fell became a bit off- putting after a bit. There was too much of a sameness
