These must be some of the most emotional, nay, emotive knights. To an even greater extent than Arthurian champions, the knights in The Knight in the Panther’s Skin are deeply and vocally emotional.
Instructions of Amenemope Review
Studying ancient Egypt is a little like studying astronomy: it is an exercise in understanding something on a completely different scale from normal human experience.
The Gathering Storm Review
As I’ve mentioned a few times before, Brandon Sanderson was tapped to finish Wheel of Time after Jordan passed away before he could finish it. I can think of few tasks more difficult or daunting than stepping in to finish another author’s masterpiece.
Deuteronomy Review
The style of its writing, the way its contents are presented, and the nature of those contents do not match the style of the preceding books, all ostensibly authored by Moses.
Uta-Matua and Other Tales of Kapingamarangi Review
Since, at least from this collection, we can gain only a sliver of insight into the associated culture, it is difficult to draw meaningful conclusions. Instead, I find myself asking more questions.
The Polymath Review
Burke is supposedly something of a specialist in the study of the history of knowledge, but his writing does not reflect it – it is detailed, but not thoughtful. Despite the prolific endnotes with which the text is populated, The Polymath suffers from the fate of many nonfiction books written with appeal to a general audience in mind, being rather dilute and shallow in its treatment and approach.
A Free and Responsible Press Review
Its design-by-committee approach generated an intellectually insipid document which created its own following by appealing to the paternalistic instincts of journalist-scholars who want to believe their words are part of a grand Mission to Change the World
An Aristocracy of Critics Review
Much of the text reads as an almost blow-by-blow accounting of the committee’s work. It somehow contrives to be exceptionally focused on its topic, replete with specifics and thorough research, and simultaneously lacking in detail.
Star Maker Review
Despite its brevity, this is not a book you should plan to whip through – it’s one of those you really must sit with and contemplate, both while actively reading and afterwards, if you want to appreciate it properly.
Knife of Dreams Review
It's a fitting last outing for Jordan, highlighting his distinguishing skills: ability to manage a large cast, embrace multiple perspectives, advance intertwining plot threads, bring secondary and tertiary characters to life, provide a sense of foreboding balanced with a glimmer of hope.
