![]() ![]() The issues isn’t whether you killed off Brooklynn (which come one wasn’t even a good plot, it was beyond obvious to anyone who even thought about it that she wasn’t dead) it’s that you fraudulently sold people on this series. And it serves to prove that theirs is definitely not the author for me. ![]() So after seeing someone post about the note she made at Matchmaker, I borrowed it to read the note only. It’s clear as day and been done to death by much better writers.Īnd edited to add that that I was completely correct in my entire review, well ahead of time. She seems to think, idiotic plot will make us swoon over him, because who cares where his d*** went as long as he only “loved” her. The author actually thinks all of her readers are dumb, basic, and shallow. He is an unrepentant manwhore who has probably screwed hundreds of women. ![]() ![]() Brooklyn is still alive, they will get together FIFTEEN YEARS LATER!. She even seems to think she’s slick and everyone can’t see what she is doing with the plot. This author actually thinks this is appropriate and not completely fraudulent to her readers. A 4 book series literally titled as high school is picking of 15 years in the future. ![]()

![]() ![]() I loved the entire Savage trilogy journey and in Rogue Royalty we have unexpected twists and truths. She is intelligent and caring, but also strong and determined. ![]() Through this entire journey, I have loved Temperance. We finally get answers that we wanted as readers, but at the same time, Temperance world begins to fall apart. I could not wait to get my hands on this book and find out how it would all end, especially after the ending in the previous book. I highly recommend reading and/or listening this series! Original review: The conclusion is here! Rogue Royalty by Meghan March is the final book in her Savage Trilogy and what a wild ride it was! This is a must-read series and one you must experience without spoilers! Note, this is a trilogy that must be read in order as it builds a story. They are amazing narrators and I am a big fan of theirs. ![]() Joe Arden and Grace Grant do a great job bringing the conclusion of the Savage trilogy. ![]() Let me tell you, I loved it just as much, if not more! I am a big fan of audiobooks because they bring the story alive for readers in a totally different way. I knew I shouldn’t touch her, but it didn’t stop me. I don’t follow anyone’s ruleseven my own. Get ready to fall for this deliciously forbidden hero. I originally read Rogue Royalty during its release and loved it, but wanted to go back and experience the audio as well. From New York Times, bestselling author Meghan March comes Savage Prince. ![]() ![]() Yet as Zuri and Darius are forced to find common ground, their initial dislike shifts into an unexpected understanding.īut with four wild sisters pulling her in different directions, cute boy Warren vying for her attention, and college applications hovering on the horizon, Zuri fights to find her place in Bushwick’s changing landscape, or lose it all. She especially can’t stand the judgmental and arrogant Darius. When the wealthy Darcy family moves in across the street, Zuri wants nothing to do with their two teenage sons, even as her older sister, Janae, starts to fall for the charming Ainsley. But pride might not be enough to save her rapidly gentrifying neighborhood from becoming unrecognizable. Brooklyn pride, family pride, and pride in her Afro-Latino roots. Pride and Prejudice gets remixed in this smart, funny, gorgeous retelling of the classic, starring all characters of color, from Ibi Zoboi, National Book Award finalist and author of American Street. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Working behind the scenes as advisors to parliamentary ministers and wealthy landowners ( often the same people), they managed to implement a system that deprived the peasantry of even life’s basic necessities. From drawing room discussions, British policy makers took the idea that markets seek their own level, that poor people should just stop reproducing, that selfishness is a virtue, and that interfering in business is a crime against God. The famine opportunity was also a chance to put in place theories by Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus, Jeremy Bentham, and Edmund Burke. The end results were the same: the Irish were pushed from the homes they’d built, the work that gave their lives structure, the cottage industries that added to their meager income, the churches where they worshipped, and the graveyards where their history lay. ![]() I continually find myself involved in an internal argument–how can I respect and appreciate Great Britain’s contributions to the world without despising the way the Empire was actually run? While the catalogue of sins across their colonies is infamous, nowhere was their cold calculation of empire’s management more appalling than their treatment of Ireland.Īs Coogan demonstrates, the potato famine presented a golden opportunity for absentee landlords to rid their land of their least important asset–the people who actually created the wealth that gave landlords status. The spectrum of methods landlords used to accomplish this depopulation ranged from ‘merciful’ to monstrous. ![]() ![]() ![]() Last December, before the holidays, Francis Leclerc and Eric K. “When my publisher confirmed five years ago that Le Plongeur would be adapted to film, I was delighted, but it seemed far away, unreal.

Academic historians rarely make history, but Professor Ulrich certainly has. And we’re so happy that it came from an academic scholar, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, who is a professor of Early American history at Harvard. It’s a great quote, but we should credit its actual author.

He also institutes the Inquisition to enforce these religious laws. Unfortunately, the leadership of the project falls to someone who believes that it’s better to just dig as deep a hole as possible and never come out, so he designs the Church of God Awaiting and its holy scriptures to keep advanced technology from ever arising again. The original idea is to hide with no detectable technology for a few centuries, then start developing the technology to defeat the aliens once and for all, to ensure the safety of humanity and also of any other peaceful intelligent species that might develop. The theory is that the long sustained flight will take the last humans far out of the alien sphere of influence. ![]() ![]() In desperation, the last human spaceship fleet pulls a bit of misdirection to save one last terraforming and colonization fleet, which has orders to fly at faster-than-light speeds for at least ten years in a random direction before even starting to look for a suitable planet, which they are then going to colonize. The Gbaba, as they’re called, simply destroy every ship and every colony they find. ![]() In a nutshell, humanity has been all but destroyed by an alien species that not only doesn’t want to coexist peacefully, they never even communicate with the human spaceships they encounter. ![]() ![]() Themes: Discrimination: Cultural, Discrimination: Racial, Refugee: War/Conflict, Welcoming by SchoolĬharacter’s New Arrival/New American Status: Refugee Click here for details about how we define our titles.
