![]() ![]() I thought it was a standalone book, it's not.It's not, and it contains mature scenes (YAY! □) I should start by saying that I made a couple of assumptions before reading this book: It's not every day that you get a queer, feminist Sleeping Beauty re-telling from the villain's perspective! And I-ĭo you see now why I was so excited to read this?! ![]() Perhaps, together, we could forge a new world.īecause we all know how this story ends, don’t we? Aurora is the beautiful princess. If my power began her curse, perhaps it’s what can lift it. Even though it was a power like mine that was responsible for her curse.īut with less than a year until that curse will kill her, any future I might see with Aurora is swiftly disintegrating-and she can’t stand to kiss yet another insipid prince. Aurora says I should be proud of my gifts. Humiliated and shamed by the same nobles who pay me to bottle hexes and then brand me a monster. One who isn’t bothered that I am Alyce, the Dark Grace, abhorred and feared for the mysterious dark magic that runs in my veins. Not the way they care about their jewels and elaborate parties and charm-granting elixirs. Let me tell you, no one in Briar actually cares about what happens to its princesses. You’ve heard this before, haven’t you? The handsome prince. A curse that could only be broken by true love’s kiss. Once upon a time, there was a wicked fairy who, in an act of vengeance, cursed a line of princesses to die. ![]()

While a case can be made for individual novels (again, Moonraker and Thunderball are great, as is On Her Majesty’s Secret Service), others, like Live and Let Die (1954) and The Spy Who Loved Me (1962), can only be read with a bag over your head. So the question is: if you’ve skipped the Bond books, should you read them? Maybe not! Although Fleming was a pioneer of espionage literature who essentially revolutionized the page-turner, it’s very hard to make a strong case that a contemporary reader (or casual Bond fan) will love reading the Fleming-Bond for one simple reason: many of the books are dated to the point of (sometimes) being offensive. ![]() What James Bond Really Drank in the Books. ![]() ![]() ![]() The scars on Holt's face are only the most visible of his wounds.

In terms of its spontaneity and sketchbook origin, it resembles Wimbledon Green, but it's also like George Sprott in its resolute Canadianness and lack of plot. It's mostly a work of fantasy as Seth takes the reader on a tour of the Dominion, Ontario branch of the G.N.B.C.C., a cartoonist's organization slash lodge that previously existed only in Seth's mind. Indeed, Dominion itself is another product of Seth's imagination as the setting for several of his comics. Seth apologizes to Dylan Horrocks for inadvertently biting his concept of the Hicksville lighthouse library, containing all of the great comics that were never published. Somewhat like Horrocks, Seth creates his own alternate history (of Canadian cartooning here), but there's an important emotional difference between Hickville and The G.N.B. Double C, or The Great Northern Brotherhood of Canadian Cartoonists, is perhaps Seth's strangest book to date.

I was just so bored with both characters because Thayer was your typical "bully/asshole" but with no substance, whereas Shayne was your typical heroine in NA books where they say they're tough but when the H shows off his abs or touches them, they suddenly turn into a 14-year-old fangirl meeting Harry Styles or Timothee Chalamet. but this one? this falls into nothing because i. ![]() all of them fall into these categories: good, bad, and ugly.
