The juxtaposition of individuals literally fighting for their lives while simultaneously embracing pagers and broadcast news is fascinating and uniquely captivating. A dystopian setting based on the 1990's, Gong expertly interweaves the overarching sense of doom that accompanies dystopian societies with the freshness of a society on the cusp of a technological revolution. ![]() Immortal Longings transports the reader into San-Er, a fantasy city inspired by Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong. Inspired by Shakespeare's Antony + Cleopatra, Immortal Longings tells the story of two individuals who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals - including entering a deadly competition. Despite the fact that it is only March, I feel confident that Immortal Longings is easily going to be in my top five books at the end of the year, I loved absolutely everything about this book. ![]() ![]() The youngest daughter of a French noble family and the last child in a long line of female warriors and crusaders, Marie shakes the mud from her threadbare habit and devotes herself – body and soul – to revivifying her struggling community.

(Although how someone could find these scenes entertaining is beyond me.) When I define feminism, I think of women being valued as highly as men and being treated with as much respect - not more. ![]() There has been a lot of criticism in recent years of gratuitous sexual violence against women in books, movies, and TV shows, as it is both offensive and harmful to the feminist movement. We need positive portrayals of queer characters, yes, but we don't need degrading ones. I fail to see how a book with graphic same sex rape scenes is beneficial to the “We Need Diverse Books” campaign. Personally, I don’t think that’s the kind of “relationship” we should be promoting, regardless of whether it’s queer or not. I love seeing queer relationships in books, but the characters in Captive Prince are either sex slave owners or sex slaves themselves. ![]() I’m having trouble understanding how this book can be praised by so many people.
