This reviewer is always up for a fun adventurer archaeologist tale, but Time Raiders is entirely too difficult to enjoy at all. Time Raiders was a box office success in China, despite the fact that a TV show telling the same story already exists, a testament to the appeal of the source material. Time Raiders is based on the immensely popular novel series Daomu Biji ( Grave Robbers Chronicles), written by Xu Lei and first published online. Untold other-worldly dangers, chief of which being the Snake Empress herself, lie in wait for our heroes. This rival group has been sent by the mad scientist Hendrix (Corbellini), obsessed with the secret to immortality. A gang of mercenaries led by A-Ning (Ma) is also out to find the Snake Empress’ tomb. The enigmatic and apparently immortal Zhang Qiling (Jing) joins the team, and Wu Xie finds himself drawn to this steely stranger. Wu Xie embarks on an expedition in search of the fabled tomb of the Snake Empress (Sherawat), a sorceress who has been lying dormant for millennia. He’s eager to carry on the family business, despite his third uncle Wu Sanxing (Wang) insisting that it’s too dangerous. Wu Xie (Lu Han) is the proprietor of an antique store and was born into a long line of grave robbers. Chinese filmgoers seem to have developed a fascination with tales of intrepid archaeologists, with another fantasy adventure flick arriving to cater to them. I realized that the voice in my blog was completely different than the voice in my books, and I think I could blame school on that. It was boring, it was flat, and when I looked back at it I was like, “oh my gosh, it is flat.”Īround that time, someone commented on my blog that he loved my writing style, that he loved my writing voice, and that he would read anything that I wrote. I was also shopping my book around with agents, the one that I had just finished, and the feedback that I kept getting was that my writing was too stiff. I could put it up on my blog, where anybody could read it and maybe reach some readers that way, and I felt that was a good idea. So I wasn’t going to work on my novels, because I just couldn’t focus on it.Ī friend of mine suggested that I write some short fiction for my blog. I was pregnant, and I had pregnancy brain, and you don’t want to concentrate on anything when you’re that pregnant. The next stop is tomorrow at: Robert Marion’s blog, and it’s an interview with Ivy! :D)ġ) What gave you the idea for this series? (It’s got a really cool premise, btw) (This interview is a part of Emily’s blog tour. Then one of them sucks her into the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast.” -from Emily’s website. Why: Not only is she so awesome that she shares a birthday with Madeleine L’Engle, but her first book is out, and it’s fabulous!īook blurb: “Ivy has always been afraid of mirrors, but she never knew why. But when Grey goes missing without a trace, leaving behind bizarre clues as to what might have happened, Iris and Vivi are left to trace her last few days. People find them disturbingly intoxicating, unbearably beautiful, and inexplicably dangerous.īut now, ten years later, seventeen-year-old Iris Hollow is doing all she can to fit in and graduate high school on time-something her two famously glamourous globe-trotting older sisters, Grey and Vivi, never managed to do. They have insatiable appetites yet never gain weight. Then, their blue eyes slowly turned black. Ever since they disappeared on a suburban street in Scotland as children only to return a month a later with no memory of what happened to them, odd, eerie occurrences seem to follow in their wake. Iris Hollow and her two older sisters are unquestionably strange. A dark, twisty modern fairytale where three sisters discover they are not exactly all that they seem and evil things really do go bump in the night. Not my favorite in the series, but the exact book I needed today and the perfect book for Munro. But this human woman has no intention of surrendering to the immortal and instead seeks to find her way home. Ren then finds herself kidnapped by Munro on her wedding day. When she dies, Munro seeks a way to change time to find his mate again. Munro resists all efforts by the warlocks to make his wolf appear until they bring him his fated mate, Kereny “Ren” Codrina. THE STORY: Munro MacRieve has been captured by warlocks who seek to make his wolf captive to them. This book not only is a great story in itself but moves the IAD series forward in new ways. Fun, adventurous, and deeply emotionally satisfying. Cole has the amazing ability to give each hero and heroine exactly the story they need. FINAL DECISION: Loved, loved, loved this book.

But instead of superheroes defending Earth, Sanderson’s warriors, thieves, scholars, and royals are spread across a richly detailed system of planets, from the ash-covered cities of Scadrial to the shattered plains of Roshar-a landscape directly inspired by the sandstone buttes and slot canyons of southeastern Utah. Many of them take place in an interconnected series of worlds called the Cosmere, his ink-and-paper equivalent of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is where Sanderson writes bestselling fantasy and science fiction novels. “I built an underground supervillain lair.” Jim Butcher bought a LARPing castle,” he says. Sanderson points to the grand piano, the shelves filled with ammonite fossils, the high walls covered in wood and damask paneling, and his pièce de résistance: a cylindrical aquarium swirling with saltwater fish. We’re 30 feet beneath the surface of northern Utah, in a room that feels like a cross between a five-star hotel lobby and a Bond villain’s secret base. “This is my dream,” Brandon Sanderson says. Having concluded the series in late 2014, Masashi Kishimoto has kept himself busy this year with the side story Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring and writing the story for the latest Naruto movie, Boruto: Naruto the Movie, both of which will focus on the title character's son, Boruto.
