The biggest plus of this book are the extensive chapters on geology, modern evolutionary theory and the cool maps of Earth during various geological eras. Especially THE MAPS, which are a real visual treat. The dioramas of life during the eras in each main chapter aren't bad either.

A severely weakened coalition of mages has formed an alliance with the Fae. But while both parties' agenda is centered on staving off an upcoming war, half blood vampire Sabina's goal is simply to rescue her twin Maisie from the clutches of their vindictive vampire grandmother and to also hopefully take her grandmother out of the picture once and for all. The hunt for her sister takes Sabina, her cat/demon minion and the luscious mage Adam to atmospheric New Orleans and there is a good amount of action, some great new characters, and some moments I found a bit difficult – because in urban fantasy there is no guarantee of a happy ever after, But series-wise, I was happy that the former assassin actually undergoes some real growth both personally and magically. And I thought there was a lot of power to that 'ah ha' moment when the emotionally damaged Sabina finally sees how her grandmother's hatred has shaped her view of herself and Sabina realizes who she wanted to be instead - and regrets that she may not live long enough to make the change. So with some promising changes for Sabina and more developments in the prophesy surrounding Sabina, Green-eyed Demon ended up being my favorite book in the series to date and I am looking forward as Sabina's story continues with Silver-Tongued Demon.
I don't know how I missed this one before, but I'm glad I read it. Read as 25.3

Would read another book by David Nicholls, but I hope the next one has a happier ending!

Enjoyable without being amazing. I like the evocation of post-war Japan -- very interesting (book written in 1948). And an interesting mystery -- good twists and turns. Too many main characters solving the crime though; I prefer a single protagonist. I'd read more of Takagi without pursuing it too actively.

Goldberg takes on an ambitious task: to show that modern American political liberalism, which acknowledges and celebrates its antecedents in the Progressive movement of the early 20th century, shares its philosophical parentage with the fascist movements of the 20th century in Italy and Germany, and by the standards of those movements can and should properly be called and understood as fascist. I believe he succeeds. Goldberg conceived the book in frustration at the current use of the term fascist by the media and liberal politicians to mean simply anything evil and right wing. His research shows that fascism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was in fact a left wing, socialist phenomenon and, whether they know it or not, today’s liberals stand in a philosophical direct line with Mussolini and Hitler through the American Progressive movement which was openly and unapologetically fascist. Goldberg deals at length with consideration of the Progressive movement, of Mussolini’s Fascists and of German National Socialism as three related movements that drew strength and inspiration from each other and held similar principals, techniques and goals; namely of total central control of command economies, complete intolerance for any dissent, virulent opposition to and undermining of traditional religion while replacing it with worship of the state, and a scientific commitment to perfecting and purifying the race and protecting it from contamination by inferior races. He is clear that the level of commitment to these goals varied among the three countries and he does not accuse modern liberals of the extreme belief which resulted in the Holocaust. However, he finds it completely in character that modern liberals would revere the racist, eugenicist, Margaret Sanger, who founded the predecessor of today's Planned Parenthood as a means of controlling the spread of inferior races. Quoting Goldberg on page 273, ”In 1939 Sanger created the… “Negro Project,” which aimed to get blacks to adopt birth control. Through the Birth Control Federation, she hired black ministers (including the Reverend Adam Clayton Powell Sr.), doctors, and other leaders to help pare down the supposedly surplus black population. The project’s racist intent is beyond doubt. “The mass of significant Negroes,” read the project’s report, “still breed carelessly and disastrously, with the result that the increase among Negroes… is [in:] that portion of the population least intelligent and fit.” Sanger’s intent is shocking today, but she recognized its extreme radicalism even then. “We do not want word to go out,” she wrote to a colleague, “that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.’” Astonishingly, Hillary Clinton was honored with the Margaret Sanger award by Planned Parenthood in 2009. Goldberg describes the Nazis’ creepy obsession with wholesome organic food, with fighting cancer, forcing people to stop smoking. The book is not an easy read, but it is worth understanding the history of the early 20th century in this country; and when someone claims the label “Progressive” what it really implies – whether that person knows what they are embracing or not.

Okay, I think this might be the one that I really loved--the first one in the series, I think..but I really liked all of hers, as far as I remember.

Ruiz, as always, offers a brilliant and subtle insight to the world of love, the complications and exploration one can come to with themselves and ultimately with another person.
Amazing. One of the best books i've ever read.

No es un libro fácil de leer, debido a su doloroso tema, pero de todos modos es excelente.
