If I were to choose another one of Cormier’s books to read, I would not recommend reading this one. It was mostly a charming nice easy read. What intrigued me was the fact that it was taken place in a French town near French Canada, and that it was during WW2. But it’s really about a young girl’s realization of what love is. She makes a new best friend, who is extremely Catholic, as are most people in the town, but Darcy’s family is not. She at first only sees the rules that Kathy keeps for her church and she doesn’t see the real reason for following the rules. She learns that the first thing that comes for any real devotion to a church is love of God, and then everything else follows. Darcy’s father is at war and becomes M.I.A. and it’s the prayer and faith of the Catholic mother that Darcy believes brought him home. You don’t have to believe in the Catholic Church or even in God to enjoy this book. It’s about learning to believe in something. She didn’t become Catholic, she just found that she could believe. She’s not just a little nobody, but she is somebody. She lost her friend, but she gave her a purpose in life.

Its a book you need to pay attention to, but I thought it was a really interesting tale, a bit grim by times.

I am now out of my self-imposed three-month writing hiatus. Yay! This book was overall a sweet and enjoyable read. That said, I think it wasn't nearly as groundbreaking as "Ella Enchanted." For instance, the locations and races in the book were the same used as in "Ella." Also, I think the love story in "Ella" was much stronger. The hero in "Fairest" seemed nice, but I didn't connect with him as strongly as I did Prince Charmont. Finally, I was a little uncomfortable with some of Aza's choices and motivations, despite understanding them to some extent. I was especially frustrated by her continual desire to be pretty. (Grade: "B-".) P.S. Okay, so I totally forgot I read this previously. Ha, ha, ha!
All Smithies must read this book!

A good visual on the industrial evolution and how it effected all classes. Mostly realistic and somewhat depressing.

Reads like a text book, but the ideas are the best I have ever read about a philosophy of the purpose of religion.

The third book of the Iron Fey series was released this month, and like the first two books, I couldn’t put it down! The Iron Queen, by Julie Kagawa, continues the story of Meghan Chase, picking up where The Iron Daughter left off. At the beginning of the book, an exiled Meghan and Ash are planning to visit Meghan’s family, but when they arrive, some iron fey are waiting for them. They want to capture Meghan and take her to the false king. Meghan knows that she (and her family) will never be safe until the false king is defeated, and that the longer he remains in power, more and more of the Nevernever will be destroyed. Queen Mab and King Oberon have a short-term alliance, fighting the Iron Fey together. They also know that the false king must be stopped, but the only one who can enter his realm is Meghan, and they already exiled her! So, they make Meghan (along with Ash and Puck) an offer of pardon. Their exile will be lifted if Meghan agrees to kill the false king. Knowing that there is really no other option, Meghan accepts. In addition to the usual cast of characters, a few more were introduced. It turns out that since Meghan defeated King Machina, the gremlins now consider her their master. One such gremlin, Razor, was especially cute, and I guess as cuddly as iron can be. Also, the rebel leader (there are still iron fey who are loyal to King Machina and oppose the false king), Glitch, was an honorable character as well. Meghan, Ash, and Puck finally figure out exactly how to get to the false king. While Ash and Puck are busy fighting other fey, Meghan comes to the conclusion that the only way to defeat him is to sacrifice herself. She fully believes that she is going to die and after the false king is gone, asks Ash to take her to the great tree that is now King Machina. Knowing that staying in the Iron Realm too long will kill him, she uses his true name and tells him to leave, wanting to save him before she dies. Of course, she doesn’t die, though. Instead, being the one to wield the power of Machina, she has instead become the Iron Queen, and her duty is to her people and her Realm. And since killing the false king, the Realm has borders and is no longer encroaching on the rest of the Nevernever. The new Iron Realm incorporates both Summer and Iron, and Meghan is half summer fey, which allows Puck to visit. However, the Winter Prince still cannot be around iron without getting terribly sick and even dying, so Meghan does not see Ash again. As a faery queen, she knows she has time, but she still longs to see him. At the end of the book, Meghan goes to visit her family (her mother, stepfather, and little brother). After being gone for over a year, she is finally able to tell them about what has happened to her. After a tearful goodbye, she leaves the house. She believes that she can feel Ash’s presence, but then convinces herself that she is imagining things. She returns to the Iron Realm with Glitch, her first lieutenant. However, Ash and Puck are both there watching her. Ash knows that he must find a way to be with her in the Iron Realm, which sets up the scene for the fourth (and final) installment in the series, The Iron Knight. I do have to say that while I did tremendously enjoy this book, it was not my favorite of the series. I think The Iron Daughter still has the top spot. I was really expecting a different ending, one in which Meghan and Ash would be together. I wanted the fairy tale, but ended up getting the faery tale. Anyway, it seems like Ash is determined to do what it takes to be with Meghan and I’m excited to find out how his story unfolds.
