It’s quite simply the perfect visual accompaniment to the band’s gloomy interpretation of the song. The band shot the entire video separately on their respective iPhones during quarantine, and their visual separation really captures the feelings of hopelessness and desperation conveyed through the lyrics. The entirely black and white video eventually shifts to a single, jet-black shot of Black that dims even further before the full trio returns to finish the song. The accompanying video is dim and shadowy with each member performing in a separate, isolated frame with sterile backgrounds. It’s as if Siouxsie Sioux and Robert Smith got locked in a room with Springsteen, and after a few hours, they emerged with a haunting synth-fueled version of this working-class anthem. True to her words, the band’s rendition of “Born To Run” is goth-influenced, downtempo, and brooding, standing in stark contrast to the more uplifting, sing-along inducing vocals and instrumentation in the original.

This book is intended only for adult audiences. When the god introduces himself as Seph and explains that he needs a safe place where his life-entwined mother can’t follow, Hades is forced to confront the loneliness that dwells deep within him-and his personal belief that he deserves little more than death as well.īy Pain of Death is a 9,500-word low heat M/M retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth with a disabled protagonist and a trans man love interest. Hades’s predictable days are interrupted by the arrival of Hermes with a stranger of a deity that Hades can barely recall. It is a painful, isolated existence within Hades’s palace, but far safer than returning to the Underworld beyond its doors. With each arrival of another soul, the agony they experienced in their final moments seeps into his ichor. Hades has lost track of the passage of time beyond sorting the deceased into their eternal homes. Or So He Thinks, Until He Learns The Hard Way That The Mansions And Elegant Tree-lined Streets Of The City Can Be Even More Dangerous Than The Dusty Plains Of The Roughs.

After Twenty Years In The Roughs, Wax Has Been Forced By Family Tragedy To Return To The Metropolis Of Elendel. One Such Is Waxillium Ladrian, A Rare Twinborn, Who Can Push On Metals With His Allomancy And Use Feruchemy To Become Lighter Or Heavier At Will.

Yet Even As Science And Technology Are Reaching New Heights, The Old Magics Of Allomancy And Feruchemy Continue To Play A Role In This Reborn World. Kelsier, Vin, Elend, Sazed, Spook, And The Rest Are Now Part Of History-or Religion.

In Farleigh Field won three major awards and was nominated for an Edgar. I have recently published four internationally bestselling WWII novels, one of them a #1 Kindle bestseller, and the Tuscan Child selling almost a million copies to date. I'm a New York Times bestselling mystery author, winner of both Agatha and Anthony awards for my Molly Murphy mysteries, set in 1902 New York City. The Crusades brought various military orders of knights to the forefront of defending Christian pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land. In that sense, the special prestige accorded to mounted warriors in Christendom finds a parallel in the furusiyya in the Islamic world. This linkage is reflected in the etymology of chivalry, cavalier and related terms such as the French title chevalier. Knighthood in the Middle Ages was closely linked with horsemanship (and especially the joust) from its origins in the 12th century until its final flowering as a fashion among the high nobility in the Duchy of Burgundy in the 15th century. The lords trusted the knights, who were skilled in battle on horseback. Often, a knight was a vassal who served as an elite fighter or a bodyguard for a lord, with payment in the form of land holdings. By the Late Middle Ages, the rank had become associated with the ideals of chivalry, a code of conduct for the perfect courtly Christian warrior. During the High Middle Ages, knighthood was considered a class of lower nobility. In the Early Middle Ages in Europe, knighthood was conferred upon mounted warriors. Knighthood finds origins in the Ancient Greek hippeis (ἱππεῖς) and Roman equites. A knight is a person granted an honorary title of knighthood by a head of state (including the Pope) or representative for service to the monarch, the church or the country, especially in a military capacity. I would recommend this series to tweens and teens. Overall, this is such a wholesome and cute series, but it adds in some suspense and mystery as well. I even jumped out of my seat when she finds missing family members. I especially like Serafina and how she finds out she's half-wildcat, half-human. The suspense and mystery keep you hooked and unable to put the book down.Īll of the characters are also so lovable. The series is just so interesting and I love how the plot keeps thickening and thickening as the books go on. Then, by coincidence, I got Serafina and the Black Cloak as a gift. I learned about this awesome series by searching for fantasy books. This series is a fantasy/mystery series about a girl trying to figure out why other kids are disappearing from her home. I would give the Serafina series by Robert Beatty a 5-star rating. This is a novel about the struggle of Palestine, conceptualized by Habiby which makes the reader question what is comic and what is tragic as Saeed questions his outlook on life. This is how Saeed, the comic hero of the Arab Israeli journalist Emile Habiby's novel The Secret Life of Saeed, The Pessoptimist (1974) defines his dilemma. So which am I, a pessimist or a an optimist? If harm befalls me during the day, I thank Him that it was no worse. When I awake each morning I thank the Lord he did not take my soul during the night. How do you differentiate between a pessimist and an optimist? I don't differentiate between optimism and pessimism and am quite at a loss as to which of the two characterizes me.
