Originally reviewed here The Black Swan is part of Mercedes Lackey’s Fairy Tales series and it is a loose retelling of the story of Swan Lake. Like the original story, the princess Odette is turned into a swan by a sorcerer who vows that she will be turned back into her original form if her lover, Prince Siegfriend remains faithful to her. The sorcerer, Baron Von Rothbart, uses his daughter to trick the prince into betraying Odette so that she will be forced to remain in her swan form. I am not extremely familiar with the original story (Okay, so I’ve only seen the Barbie version) but like most retellings, Mercedes Lackey molded this story into her own. The characters gain more depth and the reader is able to understand their motives. Even the Baron becomes a more solid character, as his motives are made clear though still rather unjust. I was extremely impressed with Lackey’s addition of another villain in the form of Queen Clothilde. She was the epitome of evil and made The Baron look almost innocent in his wicked ways. Prince Siegfried is a rather hard hero to fall in love with as he is represented as a womanizer and to be quite honest, I hated him for most of the story. Furthermore, though the reader thinks this story to be centered around the swan maiden, Odette, it is really Odile who takes center stage in the tale. Odette plays her part as the pure maiden seamlessly but it is Odile’s inner turmoil and growth that really draws the reader and helps one become invested in her tale. This was one of the first fantasy books I picked up as a young adult, I read it so many times that my paperback fell apart and my mother bought me a hardcover as a replacement. I hadn’t picked this up in years but once I started reading it again I was immediately drawn in as I was so many years ago. I love the relationship between Odile and her father and I love the strength she gains as the story progresses. Each character grows in a different way and the relationships between everyone progressed in relatable and interesting ways. I also adored the land that Lackey creates. At one point Odile is using magic to carve out a “home” out of a treen for herself and the swan maidens and for some reason it is a part that stuck with me for years, the image is forever etched in my mind. I still have yet to read anything else by Mercedes Lackey but I hope to read the rest of her Fairy Tales as well as her Elemental Masters series because I have heard wonderful things about both. This novel comes highly recommended to lovers of fantasy, strong female characters and those who love their fairy tale retellings as much as I do.

Tranh Truyện Dân Gian Việt Nam - Mụ Lường (Tái Bản 2018) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ngô Mạnh Lân

This book was OK. I found it to be too slow without enough action to keep the story moving. The vast majority of the book is spent discussing political intrigue at court in the kingdom while eluding to war and battle. While part of me thinks I may be giving up to soon, I also feel that the whole book only kept me going with the slight promise of more action that never quite materialized. It leaves me uneager to invest in the rest of the series. That is not to say that there was no action. The author sprinkled some in here and there, but I found it undeveloped. The description of action scenes tended to be too broad of an overview of what was going on until the last third of the book where I found the author did a much better job of relaying the scene. I hate leaving a series unfinished, and so in the long run I'll probably finish this one out too. However, I'll only be picking up the next books when I've run out of other material.

I really loved this book. It was like reading a blog in the form of a hardback book. It took half as long as you might expect because half of it is recipes. It might take you longer if you are a passionate cook. I am not so the book was a breeze. David Lebovitz immigrated to Paris from San Francisco. He seems to have more complaints than compliments about Paris and his interactions with the Parisians and theirs with him. I wonder why he even wants to stay. He has been there long enough so that he is a foreigner both there and here. When reading between the lines, I never detected a sense of joy about him. It is more like he is resigned to his fate. How sad. Take my perception with a grain of salt; it is just my perception. You will like the book and his take on Paris and especially the food/recipes.

I highly recommend this book. It builds upon The Autobiography of Malcolm X and seriously looks at his assassination and who did it.
