Title: Soulsmith Pdf

Outside Sacred Valley, ancient ruins rise from the earth, drawing sacred artists from miles around to fight for the treasures within. 

Factions rise and fall as warriors bicker over rare resources, but time is limited. A powerful family from the Blackflame Empire is coming to claim the ruins, and when they arrive, no one else will have a chance at the prize. 

Lindon has reached Copper, taking the first step on the road to power, but the warriors of the outside world are still far beyond him. 

To advance, he turns to the arcane skills of the Soulsmiths, who craft weapons from the stuff of souls. With new powers come new enemies, and Lindon soon finds himself facing an entire sect of Golds.

Intricate Magic set in an Immersive World Will Wight gives us an amazing read in Soulsmith. Wight’s brand of fantasy is heavy on magic, giving us an intricate and fascinating magic system with plenty of depth. He also gives us a coming-of-age heroe’s journey. All of this is set in a well-developed non-western secondary world. It’s so much fun to read, and for fans of hard magic systems it’ll really hit the spot.It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of magic in fantasy. On this front Will Wight delivers so well. Magic plays an incredibly integral role to the plot of Soulsmith. Lindon, our MC, continues his journey—which began in Unsouled—to become a better, more powerful sacred artist. One of the things I really appreciated about this sequel is that Wight didn’t rush things. It would have been easy to see an explosion of power for Lindon, but he continues to struggle as a comparative weakling. This gives us plenty of glimpses into Lindon’s character and it’s wonderful to see his development and growth. Even more, however, is the growth we get to see from Yerin. In fact, if anything has drastically improved from the first book in this series, I would say it is the characterization of secondary characters. Lindon has always been interesting. Wight is now building an entire cast of interesting characters and I can’t wait to see where they go and how they develop in the rest of this series. Any time you can give me intricate, interesting magic and a cast of fascinating, developing characters I’m all in. Wight has done that in spades here, and set it all in a unique world. One aspect of the world building I enjoy is how so much revolves around honor. Often fantasy worlds tend to take a guilt/innocence view of the world, much like the majority of western society. To see a tale told in a world that focuses much more on honor/shame is wonderful.I don’t have much to criticize with this book. Almost everything worked for me. There were a few moments, particularly toward the beginning of the book, where the action slowed down a little. These didn’t last very long, however. I also felt that the book may have lacked a little bit of a plot unto itself. It is obviously a middle book of a series. These are all very minor criticisms and they did not significantly impact my enjoyment.Will Wight’s second book in his Cradle series is excellent fun, heavy on magic, and begins introducing a wider cast of characters that I’m sure will play a larger role as the series progresses. It’s well done all-around and a wonderful read for those who thoroughly enjoy hard magic systems.4.5/5 stars.5 – I loved this, couldn’t put it down, move it to the top of your TBR pile4 – I really enjoyed this, add it to the TBR pile3 – It was ok, depending on your preferences it may be worth your time2 – I didn’t like this book, it has significant flaws and I can’t recommend it1 – I loathe this book with a most loathsome loathingThe Cradle Series Continues to Impress You are my favorite writer. Never stop writing and I promise to buy every single book you write.This was an excellent addition to the Cradle Series. I was worried it was going to be a little short, but this was a fantastic continuation to a new series. I was impressed and cannot wait to read more of Lindon's journey.My only critique would be that this story felt a lot like we were losing Lindon's perspective. You spent a lot of time setting the scenes and the tone of what was happening around everyone (you are a master at that, I always feel in the middle of your stories), but I felt that every time we got a piece of Lindon it was rushing him into the next thing. My favorite part about Cradle was seeing his version of events, his voice, his immediate + longterm thoughts etc. Don't lose the voice just to increase novel volume!That being said, please release of Killers and Kings/ of Kings and Killers yesterday...Wight is like that friend who says they're going to be a famous rapper... ...except if instead of stringing together bad rhymes he wrote books. And instead of sucking he...didn't suck.I'm not sure where this guy came from. I bought house of blades because Amazon told me to and it cost less than a McFlurry. That series fell before my late night reading technique like 12 year old Bieber fan getting run over by the tour bus. Cradle came next and his writing has clearly advanced. He seems to write a book in the time it takes to stand in line at the DMV, so I assume he is a disciple of Sanderson. Or he speeds a lot. Doesn't matter.The unique magic systems, pacing, clear story arcs and vivid imagination pisses me off. Because I thought one day I could publish a book on Amazon and call myself an author. Then this sack of hammers comes along and sets STANDARDS, totally ruining my plans. Also, his pricing makes me suspicious. If I get 6 hours of reading time out of a book it should at least cost enough to let him upgrade from the dollar menu to a combo meal. Seriously dude Mountain Dew code red can't keep you going forever. Send me your address and I'll mail you one of my mom's quiches.

Desert Solitaire Download

ISBN: 0671695886
Title: Desert Solitaire Pdf
Author: Edward Abbey
Published Date: 1990-01-15
Page: 269

Edward Abbey's Desert Solitaire, the noted author's most enduring nonfiction work, is an account of Abbey's seasons as a ranger at Arches National Park outside Moab, Utah. Abbey reflects on the nature of the Colorado Plateau desert, on the condition of our remaining wilderness, and on the future of a civilization that cannot reconcile itself to living in the natural world. He also recounts adventures with scorpions and snakes, obstinate tourists and entrenched bureaucrats, and, most powerful of all, with his own mortality. Abbey's account of getting stranded in a rock pool down a side branch of the Grand Canyon is at once hilarious and terrifying. The New Yorker An American Masterpiece. A Forceful Encounter with a Man of Character and Courage.The New York Times Book Review Like a ride on a bucking bronco...rough, tough, combative. The author is a rebel and an eloquent loner. His is a passionately felt, deeply poetic book...set down in a lean, racing prose, in a close-knit style of power and beauty.

Hailed by The New York Times as “a passionately felt, deeply poetic book,” the moving autobiographical work of Edward Abbey, considered the Thoreau of the American West, and his passion for the southwestern wilderness.

Desert Solitaire is a collection of vignettes about life in the wilderness and the nature of the desert itself by park ranger and conservationist, Edward Abbey. The book details the unique adventures and conflicts the author faces, from dealing with the damage caused by development of the land or excessive tourism, to discovering a dead body. However Desert Solitaire is not just a collection of one man’s stories, the book is also a philosophical memoir, full of Abbey’s reflections on the desert as a paradox, at once beautiful and liberating, but also isolating and cruel. Often compared to Thoreau’s Walden, Desert Solitaire is a powerful discussion of life’s mysteries set against the stirring backdrop of the American southwestern wilderness.

A Masterwork of Nonfiction Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness by Edward Abbey has a much deserved reputation of being one of the finest book written about the American West. Abbey spent time as a park ranger in Arches National Park in the late 60s, and in the process, traveled all around southern Utah and northern Arizona. This book is the outcome of that stay, yet it is so much more.Abbey uses this book as a platform not only to make observations about the geography, fauna and flora of Utah, but as a place to vent his spleen at the destruction of the natural world, and the dehumanizing nature of our society. The book is also filled with humor, pathos, and great sensitivity. His prose is elastic, conversational at some points, poetic and profound at others.Desert Solitaire is a master piece of non-fiction. Abbey moves from topic to topic with ease. Each piece stands alone, but they are interconnected. In a relatively short amount of space, he writes strongly and convincingly about a host of topics. For this skill, we can forgive him his obvious misanthropy. He hates everyone.Enlightening Not much to add that has not already been written by other reviewers. An excellent book. A real classic. The book gives greater meaning to recent arguments regarding "roadless" national parks. It may be this is when/where the argument first started. Abbey's views may be a bit extreme, but his points of contention have likely lead to healthy compromises and positive outcomes. Those who were raised in the city that read this book may be enlightened, others may never get it. In the book, Abbey uses the term, anthropocentric. I had to look it up. I've concluded Abbey's book begs the question, "Are humans, due to their superior intelligence, entitled to forcibly control nature and alter natural processes, or should humans, like all other species, adapt and defer to the power and wonder of nature?"Being there... OK. To fully appreciate this accumulation of experiences and stories... you need to plan a trip to Southern Utah. ( Go during a "shoulder" season so you will not have too many crowds ). You really need to actually be there. To see the horizons and stirring landscapes. And you will need to let go of any preconceived attitudes about deserts - any requirements for 5-Star anything. Take this book along and read a few chapters each evening. And you will need to allow yourself enough time to just sit... listen.. and reflect. Visit Moab and the Arches N.P. and imagine how it once was not too long ago. Head off to Dead Horse Point and then down to the Needles area - both in Canyonlands N.P. If you can, camp for a night or two. Look for the La Sal Range on the eastern horizon. In this way, I think you will develop a better appreciation for Mr. Abbey's world. A couple of chapters might be considered a bit off point, but that's all part of the experience. So --- get the book, plan your adventure... and, if the Southwest is a new experience for you, I believe you will come back home with some remarkable impressions. All enhanced by "Desert Solitude".

Prior Bad Acts Pdf

ISBN: 1101966114
Title: Prior Bad Acts Pdf A Novel (Sam Kovac and Nikki Liska)

"Hoag's cliffhanger scene endings and jump cuts leave the reader panting and turning the pages as fast as possible."—Boston Globe"Chilling thriller with a romantic chaser."—New York Daily News "The breathtaking plot twists are perfectly paced.... [A] stunning meld of thrilller and police procedural."—Publishers Weekly, starred review Tami Hoag's novels have appeared regularly on national bestseller lists since the publication of her first book in 1988. She lives in Los Angeles.

New York Times bestselling author Tami Hoag returns with a thriller that begins with a shocking crime scene you’ll never forget and follows two relentless detectives on a manhunt that ends in a chilling confrontation with the essence of human evil.

It was a crime so brutal, it changed the lives of even the most hardened homicide cops. The Haas family murders left a scar on the community nothing can erase, but everyone agrees that convicting the killer, Karl Dahl, is a start. Only Judge Carey Moore seems to be standing in the way. Her ruling that Dahl’s prior criminal record is inadmissible raises a public outcry—and puts the judge in grave danger.

When an unknown assailant attacks Judge Moore in a parking garage, two of Minneapolis’ s top cops are called upon to solve the crime and keep the judge from further harm. Detective Sam Kovac is as hard-boiled as they come, and his wisecracking partner, Nikki Liska, isn’t far behind. Neither one wants to be on this case, but when Karl Dahl escapes from custody, everything changes, and a seemingly straightforward case cartwheels out of control.

The stakes go even higher when the judge is kidnapped—snatched out of her own bed even as the police sit outside, watching her house. Now Kovac and Liska must navigate through a maze of suspects that includes the stepson of a murder victim, a husband with a secret life, and a rogue cop looking for revenge where the justice system failed.

With no time to spare, the detectives are pulled down a strange dark trail of smoke and mirrors, where no one is who they seem and everyone is guilty of Prior Bad Acts.

Tami Hoag Does It Again! Tami Hoag’s books just seem to get better and better. Her characters even seem to get better and better. Prior Bad Acts is no exception. Liska and Kovac are two of my favorite Hoag characters. They are Minneapolis cops.A lady has been brutally murdered. There is immediately a suspect who is no stranger to the law. The dragnet begins. The suspect is brought in but is released during the trial by a compassionate judge. The judge is brutally beaten and her dirtbag husband is suspected of hiring the work done. However, there is still the original suspect on the loose whom the Minneapolis police just can’t seem to locate, let alone apprehend.So, the dirtbag husband is being investigated and the police are looking for the original suspect. Then to add salt to the wound, a policeman goes off the deep end and believes that justice cannot be delivered appropriately anymore. That is, unless he delivers it himself. And he has bones to pick with the judge and the original suspect whom he worked hard to bring in the first time only to have the judge let him out where he could slip free of the net that was being cast over him.So, now, the list of suspects is growing and each are looking more and more desirable for the crimes. Liska and Kovac are in deep in this one. It’s a stress bag and it seems that nothing but dead ends and mistaken suspicions keep arising.This is my favorite Tami Hoag book that I have read to date. I would have no problem recommending this book to a friend who reads. I will be reading more Tami Hoag books. She takes just a little to get into at first, but once you take the hook, look out.CamSizzling Suspense, From Beginning to End Tami Hoag is a master of suspense, coincidence, and deception. And there is plenty of that in this intense thriller. A drifter, Karl Dahl, takes cover in a house during a brutal storm. He discovers a horrific scene, in which a mother is brutally slain, and when he is in the basement, he is touched by a child hanging from the ceiling. He discovers two dead bodies. Later on, he is on trial for their brutal murder, and the prosecutor, Hogan, tries to admit into evidence Dahl's prior acts which include a large assortment of petty crimes and prior convictions. The public defender, Kenny Scott, challenges this in front of the judge, Carey Moore, who rules in favor of the defense that the prior bad acts are inadmissible. This sets off a series of events that includes Judge Moore being attacked in a garage by an unknown assailant, the original investigating detective, Stan Dempsey, turning rogue and eventually plotting his own brand of vigilante justice, and then the peculiar tale of Wayne and Bobby Haas, father and son who choose to continue to live in the house where the brutal murders tok place. Karl Dahl escapes from custody after being beaten up in prison and not being constrained on his way to the hospital, then embarks upon a journey of being a fugitive, complete with incidental crimes, that seemed ripped out of an Alfred Hitchcock tale. The reader will find out that there are a number of characters out to get Judge Moore. And Sam Kovac and Nikki Liska get to do the investigating. As is the case with many of her other books, the reader is taken along the paths of investigation, many of which misled the investigators, but eventually, due to their stubborn diligence, both Kovac and Liska eventually solve the crime. If you are a fan of Tami Hoag, you don't want to miss this one!another suspenseful story I really enjoy this series with Kovac and Liska. There's never a dull moment. The characters are not super heroes, and have their flaws. The crime is never as simple as it might seem, and even if you think you've figured it out you haven't! I hope the series continues.

Quichotte Download

ISBN: B07P7CZXRB
Title: Quichotte Pdf A Novel

A dazzling Don Quixote for the modern age—an epic tour de force that is as much an homage to an immortal work of literature as it is to the quest for love and family, by Booker Prize–winning, internationally bestselling author Salman Rushdie 
 
LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE

Inspired by the Cervantes classic, Sam DuChamp, mediocre writer of spy thrillers, creates Quichotte, a courtly, addled salesman obsessed with television who falls in impossible love with a TV star. Together with his (imaginary) son Sancho, Quichotte sets off on a picaresque quest across America to prove worthy of her hand, gallantly braving the tragicomic perils of an age where “Anything-Can-Happen.” Meanwhile, his creator, in a midlife crisis, has equally urgent challenges of his own.

Just as Cervantes wrote Don Quixote to satirize the culture of his time, Rushdie takes the reader on a wild ride through a country on the verge of moral and spiritual collapse. And with the kind of storytelling magic that is the hallmark of Rushdie’s work, the fully realized lives of DuChamp and Quichotte intertwine in a profoundly human quest for love and a wickedly entertaining portrait of an age in which fact is so often indiscernible from fiction.

Advance praise for Quichotte

“Quichotte is one of the cleverest, most enjoyable metafictional capers this side of postmodernism. . . . The narration is fleet of foot, always one step ahead of the reader—somewhere between a pinball machine and a three-dimensional game of snakes and ladders. . . . This novel can fly, it can float, it’s anecdotal, effervescent, charming, and a jolly good story to boot.”—The Sunday Times

“Quichotte [is] an updating of Cervantes’s story that proves to be an equally complicated literary encounter, jumbling together a chivalric quest, a satire on Trump’s America and a whole lot of postmodern playfulness in a novel that is as sharp as a flick-knife and as clever as a barrel of monkeys. . . . This is a novel that feeds the heart while it fills the mind.”—The Times (UK)

“A brilliant, funny, world-encompassing wonder.”—Time

Avoid. A Complete Bore To begin let me say I have long been an admirer of Salman Rushdie, and consider him the finest writer in the English language today. His new novel, an homage to Cervantes Don Quixote, is a dense maze of interwoven stories. In it an elderly Indian man called Quichotte living in the US, who spends his days immersed in watching television, falls in love with a beautiful young drug addled Indian television superstar (a younger, more svelte version of Oprah). She becomes his Dulcinea. Quichotte, along with his son Sancho will make their way across the country to woo her. Interspersed in the Quichotte story there is the story of the author of Quichotte, a third rate writer of spy novels who has decided to try his hand at another genre. Insert into the Quichotte story the story of an Indian pharmaceutical millionaire called Dr.Smile who is making big bucks off of opiods. If it all sounds like a muddle be assured it is. Even worse it is a complete bore. I had no interest in any of the characters. Multiple times I wanted to abandon this book, yet I soldiered on. But even worse it is a great slap at America as a racist cauldron of stupid, evil white people. If you are new to Rushdie please avoid this book and begin with the magnificent Midnight's Children.Hahahahaha - what was I thinking? In 1989, I tried to read Satanic Verses, and while years later I sort of got through it, it was at such a low level of comprehension that I should be embarrassed to even use the word "read" in this context.So a few years after that and I was offered this review copy of Rushdie's new book, and I decided I'm a smart person now, and very well read, and I can certainly appreciate Salman Rushdie's obvious writing skills as who I am today.The answer remains "no, I can not." That's entirely my fault - my interests are nonfiction or fairly straightforward fiction as opposed to experimental or stylistic fiction like Rushdie has generally been known for. No doubt one of his books would prepare me for his style in a slightly more accessible way but I haven't read it. I probably should give "Joseph Anton" a try.So this reminded me of Marlon James "A Brief History of Seven Killings" that was hugely praised and award winning and that I totally couldn't connect with no matter how hard I tried. In a similar vein with this book, I tried to start at the beginning, then I tried to start in the middle, and I tried to jump around and I couldn't figure out what was going on, or even what I was supposed to be thinking.Look - I did not give it any sort of truly honest effort. I gave up. It was too hard, too detailed, too stylized - it demanded an investment from the reader that I am simply not prepared to give. So if you think I sound like you, then you're probably not going to be the audience for this book.But - if you're ANGRY at me, and you think I'm a big joke and an uneducated lazy rube - THEN maybe the book IS for you, because you're the type of reader who will go into Rushdie with your eyes wide open in a way that I didn't.So I tried, I failed, maybe I'll try again one day, but this book's just not for me.I'm giving it four stars because OBVIOUSLY he can write at a supreme quality - I would say every sentence went through ten drafts. Any oblique meaning on his part is totally intentional - he wants this to be an off-kilter Don Quitote experience...so it's no accident. It IS well-done, but it is NOT for casual readers or the hoi polloi like me.Quichotte's Quest Rushdie does not hold back in his Don Quixote-based satirical novel and it was a wild ride. Nothing is safe from his commentary: racism, opioid addiction, reality TV, technology. He lambasts them all.There are two stories here – that of the author known as Brother, or his pseudonym Sam DuChamp, while the other is his own creation. Tired of mild success as a spy thriller writer, Brother embarks on his greatest literary achievement in writing about Quichotte and his quest for the love of a famous TV personality. Along the way Quichotte conjures a teenage son Sancho, they witnesses a fatal shooting, he reconciles with his sister, and they even encounters mastodon-transformed residents of a New Jersey town (very bizarre). “But Quichotte had warned [Sancho] that reality as they had understood the word would now cease to exist…”Is Quichotte completely delusional in his pursuit of Salma R., the Indian actress turned Oprah-esque talk show host? Probably. But it was Salma’s back story that was even more intriguing because it led her to opioid addiction. Quichotte’s own cousin, Dr. Smile, is the head of the pharmaceutical behemoth responsible for inventing a powerful fentanyl spray that makes morphine seem like asprin. But prescribing pain medication to people like Salma who don’t really need it gets him into a lot of trouble. Add to the mix a tech billionaire with grand visions of saving the world from itself by sending humanity to alternate dimensions. The addition of a little science-fiction adds another layer of insanity to Quichotte’s already absurd quest.While Quichotte’s story has magical realism aspects, Brother’s narrative is much more grounded, although often the two worlds mirror each other since Brother is using elements from his own life to create Quichotte. He also reconciles with his sister, but the consequences of their reunion are much more tragic. There’s a little side-plot with his own estranged son, which allows him to have his own quasi-spiritual journey.As a whole, the book was a strange mash-up of genres and plots. It was occasionally goofy, often philosophic, and always smart. There were so many little nudge-nudge wink-winks throughout that I really had to pay attention to subtle connections. No doubt Rushdie is incredibly clever, but this book’s density and complexity might not appeal to everyone. Still, I enjoyed the quests of both Quichotte and Brother.
