![]() Then she finds herself falling in love with this primitive land, its people and especially their savage leader. But facing challenge after challenge, Circe finds her footing as Queen of the brutal Korwahk Horde and wife to its King. ![]() Circe and Lahn are separated by language, culture and the small fact she's from a parallel universe and has no idea how she got there or how to get home. With one look at Circe, he knows she will be his bride and together they will start the Golden Dynasty of legend. Dax Lahn is the king of Suh Tunak, the Horde of the nation of Korwahk. Then, in short order, she is installed very unwillingly on her white throne of horns as their Queen. ![]() She figures (rightly) this is not good and soon finds out that she's not having a wild dream, she's living a frightening nightmare where she's been transported to a barren land populated by a primitive people. ![]() Circe Quinn, the office manager of her father's moving company, goes to sleep at home and wakes up in a corral filled with women wearing sacrificial virgin attire - and she's one of them. ![]() ![]() ![]() How is Nova allowed to live after the number of people she's killed? The idea is never really explored further and the aftermath is just a new norm. Arguably the most catastrophic thing to happen to Mutants and it's done in 3 issues. The Jean/Emma/Scott story had the most involving the characters themselves, but the rest of the storylines are plot driven and high concept ideas and pushing character focus to the side in favor of wild Morrison ideas. Morrison's entire run felt so impersonal with the characters he's writing for. I get hat Morrison loves his high concept ideas, but it became the psychic show real quick.Ī rather impersonal story throughout. ![]() Too many psychics: between Prof, Emma, Jean, Nova, it was a LOT of mental stories that made them all seem redundant. The art, but that's quite obvious from consensus The two stories, Astonishing and New, could not be more different from one another. What I found was such a huge disappointment and a dated Morrison run. ![]() I am a big fan of Astonishing X-Men by Joss Whedon (one of, if not, THE best modern X-Men story to date), so I figured I'd read the story the preceded it, New X-Men, since it is so highly regarded. ![]() ![]() ![]() Logan swiftly shows him this was a very poor idea.

Their hope was to avenge the capture of Gwindor's brother Gelmir during Dagor Bragollach. Against Orodreth's will, however, a small company under the command of Gwindor went from Nargothrond. For Orodreth, the King of Nargothrond, remembering the deeds of Celegorm and Curufin that indirectly resulted in the death of Finrod Felagund, sent no aid to the alliance. Unfortunately, the Oath of Fëanor and the evil deeds done by the Sons of Fëanor to fulfill it caused the Union to have less strength than it could have had. Under the command of Maedhros, all the Elves of Beleriand, as well as the Edain, Dwarves, and newly arrived Easterlings, were invited to combine in arms and fight against Morgoth. In the year 468 of the Years of the Sun, Maedhros began forming an alliance that he believed capable of taking the war to Thangorodrim, known as the Union of Maedhros. ![]() However, the deeds of Beren and Lúthien, defeating Sauron at Tol-in-Gaurhoth and retrieving a Silmaril from Angband, convinced Maedhros that Morgoth was not invincible. Gondolin was still hidden and could not yet be assailed. By John Howe, from A Middle-earth TravelerĪlmost twenty years after the defeat of Elves and Edain in the Dagor Bragollach, the Ñoldor had lost control of the entire north of Beleriand, and held only the strongholds of Hithlum, Himring, and Nargothrond. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The mystery of the children’s origins and the source of their stockpile of supplies are never resolved, perhaps indicating a sequel to come. Despite the idyllic setting, one where children can safely fling themselves off cliffs and surf air currents, the story is suffused with melancholy and the haunting absence of parents and former residents. The children’s hair (black, red, blond) and eyes (blue, brown) are described, and Jinny remarks on the dark skin of two of her fellow orphans the cover art shows a girl with dark brown skin. That is, until Jinny-spirited, curious, and defiant-decides to break the most sacred rule of the island, throwing their universe frighteningly out of whack. ![]() ![]() Once someone broke the rule about never picking the last of anything, but having experienced the consequences (no more curlyferns!), they are careful now to behave. The ragtag bunch of nine orphans-each one “boat” (year) apart in age-are the sole human residents of a benevolent wilderness, busy chasing wild kittens and harvesting honey from docile bees, reading from a stockpile of tattered books, and inducting each new arrival into their ways. Now Jinny will become the Elder, and the balance of life on the island will be maintained. When the bell rings and the green boat emerges from the mist, gliding up into the cove, Jinny knows that it is time: time for her beloved Deen to leave and for a new child to take his place. ![]() ![]() ![]() In that time I reread the books again and learned to appreciate Wizard and Glass more. ![]() I was mature enough to get the story particulars but still too immature to accept Wizard and Glass as the wonderful, tragic backstory it is instead of the Waste Lands sequel it mostly isn’t. ![]() By that time, I had reread the first three Dark Tower books numerous times and loved them deeply, particularly The Waste Lands, which filled me with a yearning to be Jake Chambers that I doubt any piece of fiction has matched. ![]() That is the right of every little dumbass. But something had me hooked enough to ignore what I didn’t get or pretend I was on top of things and push on regardless. Speaking just for myself, I understood very little of what was going on. Not because of their adult content really, but because they grow so complicated so quickly and push so far past what a kid that young can comprehend. I’m not sure how much business a ten year old has reading these books. Probably that same year, or maybe late the year before, I must have read the first two. I can remember reading the third book, The Waste Lands, almost as soon as it was released (I had to wait until my mom finished it before I could get there), and that was when I was ten. It only requires mild exaggeration to claim that I grew up with Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series. Second of all: I realize we’re just a little past ten years along the beam. ![]() ![]() ![]() May, The Courage to Create, page 40 The anxiety of creatingĬreative people, as I see them, are distinguished by the fact that they can live with anxiety, even though a high price may be paid in terms of insecurity, sensitivity, and defenselessness for the gift of the “divine madness,” to borrow the term used by the classical Greeks. ![]() Creativity, as Webster’s rightly indicates, is basically the process of making, of bringing into being. May, The Courage to Create, page 21 A definition of creativityĬreativity must be seen in the work of the scientist as well as in the artist, in the thinker as well as in the aesthetician and one must not rule out the extent to which it is present in captains of modern technology as well as in a mother’s normal relationship with her child. To every thesis there is an antithesis, and to this there is a synthesis. To believe fully and at the same moment to have doubts is not at all a contradiction: it presupposes a greater respect for truth, an awareness that truth always goes beyond anything that can be said or done at any given moment. Commitment is healthiest when it is not without doubt but in spite of doubt. The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one. ![]() ![]() May sees creativity as the ultimate goal of all people (not merely those traditionally deemed “creative”) and links creativity to well-being and a desire to make the world a better place.

The bird’s lament, or “aria,” affected the boy deeply. One day the female disappeared, “may-be kill’d, unknown to her mate.” The male anxiously awaited her, He addressed the wind: “I wait and I wait till you blow my mate to me.” His song penetrated the heart of the curious boy who “treasur’d every note for he understood the meaning of the bird, whom he called his “brother.” The experience he now recalls is that on the Paumanok seashore one May, when lilacs were in bloom, he observed two mockingbirds, “feather’d guests from Alabama.” The female crouch’d on her nest, silent,” and the male went “to and fro near at hand.” The birds sang of their love the words “two together” summed up their existence. He is a man now but “by these tears a little boy again,” and he throws himself on the shore “confronting the waves.” He is a “chanter of pains and joys, uniter of here and hereafter,” and he uses all his experiences but goes beyond them. He recalls that as a child, he left his bed and “wander’d alone, bareheaded, barefoot” in search of the mystery of life and death. ![]() ![]() Out of the ceaselessly rocking cradle of the sea waves, a memory comes back to the poet. ![]() |
