As her Elite strength grows, Adelina struggles to control her illusions, and the escalating whispers of fear in her head fuel her mistrust. The novel is much darker than its predecessor, largely because its focus remains on the complex Adelina, more villain than hero. Lu constructs a fascinating triangle of opposing forces seeking power, and the ensuing twists and epic battles leave many dead, broken, or forever changed. Adelina has learned the hard way that "not all Elites can be allies," and Raffaele and his Daggers have formed their own alliance with Maeve, the northern queen of Beldain, whose dark Elite power can help them seize the Kenettran throne. After acquiring new allies, Adelina heads back to Estenzia to seek revenge. I highly enjoy it more than I did the first book because this book focused more on the action. ![]() ![]() Teen & Young Adult Transport Travel & Holiday Guides Childrens books by age range.

Is she also getting moved?” Captain Ramirez is expecting you.”Īnd then it hit her. “Come clean out your desk if you have time tonight, and show up there tomorrow morning. “It’s not coming from me,” McArdle repeated. “But then who’s moving me? Sir, I don’t know anything about gang cases-” She was vaguely aware of the fact that there had been this rash of incidents lately involving biker gangs, though none had hit the 104th. Someone wants you moved to Midtown South to work the biker case.” And it’s not about Klotzman, as far as I know. “Sir, if this is some kind of disciplinary action, I’d really just as soon deal with the suspension.” “You’re being moved to Midtown South, effective immediately.” ![]() Miri sat up now, looking concerned at the slightly panicked note in Lily’s voice. Manhattan? That precinct was where the SparrMedia offices were. Lily didn’t allow herself to get excited. Your suspension is ending, as of tomorrow.” “Kyle Klotzman is quitting journalism forever?” ![]() “Sparr, I have good news,” he said, not sounding particularly cheerful.

The first scene of the novel is marked by a tension that exists throughout the novella: the interior versus the exterior. This may seem a bit obvious, but it is a subtle point: Golyadkin’s double is an extension of Golyadkin, developed from his interior. This is important as Golyadkin’s double doesn’t exist without Golyadkin. Besides creating general uncertainly, this first scene establishes Golyadkin as a strong force onto the narrative. It is, after all, a “Petersburg Poem.”Īlex’s point regarding the uncertainly established in the first few pages moved me to reread that opening sequence. It would be a mistake, however, to think of The Double as divorced from the social. Indeed, a “double” of Devushkin simply isn’t in the realm of possibility in Poor Folk. ![]() One’s initial impression of The Double may be that Dostoevsky abandoned the elements of realism that made Poor Folk such a social novel. It seems clear why a literary circle that loved Poor Folk would so strongly dislike The Double. ![]() ![]() She writes: “When we shut ourselves off from vulnerability, we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.”ĭaring Greatly is not about winning or losing.
