![]() ![]() ![]() YA)īlack is back with another dark tale of Faerie, this one set in Faerie and launching a new trilogy. Like its predecessors, this book is a few hundred pages of mediocrity underneath an exquisite cover, and it will fly off library and bookstore shelves. ![]() Romantics will be touched by Seth’s undying, if blind, devotion to the ever-more-untouchable Aislinn he goes so far as to become a faery himself in order to be with her forever. In spite of this, the plots of multiple love triangles and impending war manage to move much more smoothly from scene to scene than in Wicked Lovely or the companion Ink Exchange (2008). The overwrought, repetitive writing (one character “quirks his brow” at no fewer than three points in the book) that is Marr’s trademark does not let up for a moment here. Elsewhere in the city, two sisters representing Order and Chaos predict war for Faerie. Though Aislinn, as the Summer Queen, has an antagonistic relationship with the Winter Queen, Donia, Donia’s frigidity is the least of Aislinn’s problems. Three months after the events of Wicked Lovely (2007), Aislinn and her boyfriend, Seth, are still trying to figure out the complex world of Faerie. ![]()

But by encouraging us to reevaluate the world around us, these three books offer a vision of a different path forward, one that might steer us safely out of the meteor's path. Reading words printed on dead trees doesn't automatically translate into saving the planet. While Hollywood filmmakers expect Armageddon to come from the skies, Roston says we should all look inward: "We are the meteor." Where the Wild Things Were: Life, Death, and Ecological Wreckage in a Land of Vanishing Predators by William Stolzenburg. Roston writes that our use of carbon to create goods has made us "more powerful than plate tectonics" when it comes to the potential for destruction. It occupies a central role in the current debate about climate, but it's also found in the food we eat, the pills we pop - even high-end tennis rackets and bicycles. ![]() ![]() I have avoided anything to do with organic chemistry for years, but Roston's book convinced me that the fastest way to understand "everything larger than an atom and smaller than a planet," is through the element carbon. While Stolzenburg examines nature on a sweeping scale, former Time journalist Eric Roston drills down to the atomic heart of the planet in The Carbon Age.

The challenge with this kind of work is that the reader can’t help wondering, more than they possibly should, what is true, and what isn’t? And also, does that matter, given that we live, supposedly, in a post-truth world?Īllan goes to some lengths to disguise the true identities of the many minor characters by giving them hyphenated and often amusing names: sweet-but-sick-dollybird and rough-as-guts-forestry-man feature early in the novel, and later we meet doctor-take-your-bloody-time.
