Enfin je l'ai lu. Formidable bouquin à partager et discuter avec les adolescents.
* Adult Supernatural Fantasy: Witches, vampires, werewolves, elves, pixies are all non-human people, most living among normal humans; magical talents, secretive government agency--the FBI of "other" races; commerce with demons, who inhabit another dimension. Two-stage vampires. Love triangle. Some femslash. Gutsy, independent female witch lead. Saves, or tries to, friends and self from various supernatural entities, objects and forces. Makes deals with devils. * Surprisingly entertaining. Couldn't get into the first book. Heroine's adrenaline addiction mildly irritating. * Sequel to Dead Witch Walking and Fistful of Charms.
Though I only gave it 3 stars because I really struggled at times I do think this one will stay with me and haunt me
An economist's view of how the world works. And not just economy -- he dips into taboos about food, marriage, religion, all while examining how people balance costs in their behavior. It was a refreshing perspective for me, although upon second examination some of his blithe examples seem a little too convenient and breezy of other potential factors. (I did appreciate that he treaded outside of the Western world.) Overall a light and easy look at things we see and do everyday, from a different angle.
It's a good read, and an informative one. The history of all things Niagara interwoven with the saga of the "Burnaby" family in a manner that does not strain credulity. An interesting counterpart to We Were the Mulvaneys, which features a single genration of one family after a single catastrophic event. A tradeoff: not long on suspense but neither is it long on schmaltz.
