![]() ![]() ![]() Nora's emotions are deeply portrayed, and I was captivated by the depth of Haig's storytelling. This novel is very well-written and thought-provoking. ![]() Nora's exploration of herself is captivating as she attempts to discern what is really important in life. She must decide what she is willing to sacrifice in order to live permanently in one of these 'ideal' lives, where they seem perfect for a time but, as she realizes, there are really new sets of challenges awaiting. While in the Midnight Library, Nora lives hundreds of lives and becomes hundreds of different versions of herself-some she'd never even fathomed-but she is faced with a difficult decision. She finds herself in a place called the Midnight Library, which exists between life and death and is filled with books in which lie endless parallel lives she might've lived she is given the chance to undo her regrets by trying out these lives, starting right where her alternate self would've been on the night she ended her life. But the story doesn't end there-Nora gets a chance to experience various ways her life could've unfolded had she made slightly different choices. One night, her despair reaches a peak and she commits suicide. ![]() It is about a young woman named Nora Seed, who lives a monotonous, ordinary life and feels unwanted and unaccomplished.

We’re told non-white people “were removed from society and resettled in ‘the National Homelands.'” (Likely they were killed or enslaved.) In the series, many of the characters are non-white, including June’s husband, daughter and best friend. In the book, the leaders of Gilead separate people of different races, much as the Nazis did. And, frankly, the change makes her a more likeable character, a rulebreaker akin to another one of Elisabeth Moss’ characters, Peggy on Mad Men. In part, Miller explained, he thought it would be more interesting to create a large gap between Offred’s internal and external monologues: Internally, she’s indignant. When Ofglen later asks Offred to spy on her commander, Offred chooses not to. When the government first outlaws jobs for women, she does not take to the streets to protest. In the book, Offred is a passive character. MORE: Margaret Atwood and Elisabeth Moss on the Urgency of The Handmaid’s Tale Offred is more headstrong June is also more rebellious in the show than the book (more on that below), so revealing her real name to the audience feels like an appropriate act of defiance for this iteration of the character. It would be difficult to film flashbacks in which no characters used June’s name. Likely, the writers chose to reveal her name for practical purposes. At the end of the first episode of the show, Offred reveals that her real name is, indeed, June. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In researching his books, he talked story with Hawai’i County cops and walked the streets where his stories take place.ĭEATH OF A MESSENGER, the third book in his Koa Kane Hawaiian Mystery series will be published on January 5, 2021.

But there's a heart in the core of "Mouse Guard," and it makes you care about its characters because they carry such strong emotions on their cute little whiskered faces. ![]() It's fun to see mice use swords and spears to go up against a fox, or ride a rabbit. In many ways, that's part of what makes "Mouse Guard" so good in general. Instead, what readers get are confrontations that are in many ways even harder to go up against ones involving honor, friendship, and duty. What's especially nice about "Mouse Guard: The Black Axe" #6 is that Petersen felt no need to throw any final big monsters to fight, no huge hurdles to leap as Celanawe finally returns home with the fabled Black Axe in his paws. Petersen's comics manage to both thrill on both historical-adventure and fantasy-extravaganza levels, and this one is no exception to that rule. ![]() Happily, it's a comic that was well worth the wait. It's taken a little while, but "Mouse Guard: The Black Axe" #6 brings David Petersen's third "Mouse Guard" mini-series to its conclusion. ![]() |
