![]() His elfish butt better be in the 5th book! I don't think I'd care if something (anything) happened to him.īut Trent. I don't exactly hate him, but I am not too fond of him either. Nick can climb up the highest tree for all I care! I didn't like him when he made his appearance in the first book, I grew to dislike him even more in the second book, I barely tolerated him in the third one, but now I downright HATE him! Geez, every time he makes an appearance he makes me feel ashamed of my being a simple human. (Have to admit I am not precisely too great a fan of Ivy either.) ![]() He is by far one of the most interesting characters of this series, along with Jenks, Ivy and of course Rachel herself. Where the heck is he? I am only a few chapters away from finishing the book and still fondly waiting for him to make an appearance. He is probably off getting his elf butt married to that cold-hearted lady of the previous installment, but still. ![]() ![]() ![]() When it becomes clear Freya is in grave danger, he’ll risk everything to keep her safe.

Thornely provides a basic narrative, and her strength - and the book's uniqueness - is in her commentary that cuts to the heart of how messed up their actions were and how generally crappy they were, both as humans and at their work(?) with a lot of humor for levity. Also good to know that you shouldn't expect in-depth histories or analyses of each of the cults/leaders covered here. It will be the hilarious balm you need in your life, trust me. I do think it helps if Jo Thornely has already won you over with her fantastic podcast Zealot, because if you're already a fan of that, acquire this book immediately. What a frigging shame that it's the case for this book because this book is a GEM. Is it just me or does it seem like that happens A LOT? I mean I'm guilty of writing some seethingly negative reviews, but still. It so bums me out when the Goodreads review that appears first for a book, so with the most likes, is a totally negative one. ![]() ![]() ![]() Devereux (2001) has done a splendid job in captivating all of the requirements making it one of the "must reads" if you are pursuing Development Economics. Often what distinguishes constructive criticism from ridicule is the analysis, the wording, the approach and to what extent the writer grabs the readers attention.

Jewell lives in London with her husband and two daughters. ![]() Her work is perfect for fans of international-bestselling authors Paula Hawkins ( Into the Water and The Girl on The Train) and Liane Moriarty (Big Little Lies). Jewell embraces uncertainty because, she says, that’s what it takes to write a good book, noting that “It’s important to end every scene with a cliff hanger.” The popular author is a master of the well-placed cliff hanger and has more than twenty novels to her credit to prove it, including The Girls in the Garden, The House We Grew Up In, and The Third Wife. Her first novel, Ralphs Party, was the best- selling debut novel of 1999.
