Fighting to stay one step ahead of the dragon huntsman-who she likes far more than she should-Lorelai does everything in her power to ruin the wicked queen. But Lorelai is not what Kol had expected – beautiful, fierce, and unstoppable – and despite dark magic, Lorelai is drawn in by the passionate and troubled king. To do that, Kol needs his own magic – and the only way to get it is to make a deal with the queen of Ravenspire, promise to become her personal huntsman – and bring her Lorelai’s heart. In the nearby kingdom of Eldr, when Prince Kol’s father and older brother are killed by an invading army of magic-wielding ogres, the second-born prince is suddenly given the responsibility of saving his kingdom. ![]() ![]() She’ll have to be stronger, faster, and more powerful than Irina, the most dangerous sorceress Ravenspire has ever seen.

It was supposed to be a novella but became a full-length novel when Sarah J Maas wrote the entire story in 3 days (if I remember correctly, she did an interview where she explained this). Goodreads says this book is number 6 in the series, but I see it more as number 5.5. Heir of Fire, Queen of Shadows, and Empire of Storms are all pretty straight forward (except not exactly but we’ll get into that with ACOTAR). ![]() You could, in theory, read The Assassin’s Blade before Throne of Glass, but I think it’s better to have the story introduced by Throne of Glass as the book does a great job at world building and introducing characters. They need to be read before Heir of Fire, because they provide much needed context for the story. The Assassin’s Blade is a compilation of five different novellas/short stories that happen before the events of Throne of Glass. The first two books, Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight, should be read one after the other.

Three years later, the fighting rages on and the harsh realities of war come closer to home when rumours swirl about "wolf packs" of German U-Boats lurking in the deep waters along the shores of East Jeddore, a stone's throw from Grace's window. The war, everyone says, will be over before it starts. Grace stays behind, tending to the homefront and the general store that helps keep her small Nova Scotian community running.

It offers an entirely new translation of each elegy, paired with the original German text, and a close reading of each.

The purpose of this book is to make such features visible and to explain them to the reader as clearly as possible. ![]() On the contrary, they are constitutive of meaning in the elegies, and understanding them is crucial to our experience of reading Rilke's work. Commentators, however, have often treated these features as mere formal devices that we can somehow see through to get to what really matters, that is, to what Rilke has to say about the human condition or the meaning of life, to his philosophy or worldview. The themes of the ten elegies - and the conceptual world unique to Rilke from which they emerge - can best be understood through their poetic form: their imagery and neologistic formations, their angular syntax, their abrupt changes of tone and linguistic register, their use of multiple personae and speaking voices, and the often-ironic self-presentation of the author. ![]() The Duino Elegies, together with the Sonnets to Orpheus, remain his greatest achievement.
