Nalini Singh returns to the world of the Guild Hunters for the most highly anticipated novel of the beloved series-a love story so epic it’s been half a millennia in the making… With its endearing architecture, 50 theaters, three opera houses, 100 museums, elegant people, dancing white stallions, and class-A restaurants offering gastronomic delight for discriminating palates, Vienna boasts with high-life extravaganza blending the regal-imperial flair of the past with the latest trends - responsible cultivation of a precious heritage and charming traditions. This Imperial capital, therefore, embraces all the traditions of a European city, from Roman foundations to Gothic, Baroque and Historicism. One of the prominent capitals of Europe, Vienna was for centuries the main stomping ground for the House of Habsburg that reigned the Holy Roman Empire: Austria, Austrian Netherlands, Bohemia, Croatia, Galicia, Hungary, Lodomeria, Kingdom of Germany, Mantua, Milan, Naples, Parma, Portugal, Sicily, and Spain. If you go owling you have to be quiet, that’s what Pa always says. And the children are always moved by the silent heroism of the child, who must remain calm and still if she wants to see an owl-even though it’s cold and dark in the woods, and a bit creepy. It’s one of Jane Yolen’s serious stories, which means you can read the beautiful, almost poetic text in your regular voice, which I remember finding tremendously relieving when the kids were very young, and so much else was lilting and frantic. That’s it-but John Shoenherr’s wintery, realistic illustrations are so exquisitely moonlit and lovely, and the story is so profoundly quiet and reverent, that a deep feeling of peace has always descended over us each of the million times we’ve read it. And, towards the book’s end, they spot one. A child and his or her father go out at night, in the deep winter woods near their farm, to see if they can spot any owls. It’s that kind of book: quiet and close, and it feels like what it’s about is you. Interestingly, my daughter has always thought that the little unnamed, bundled-up child in this book was a girl-and my son has always assumed it was a boy.

Willis Wu doesn’t perceive himself as the protagonist in his own life: he’s merely Generic Asian Man. A deeply personal novel about race, pop culture, immigration, assimilation, and escaping the roles we are forced to play. The ending was everything I wanted and more. I found their romance was very realistic. Daisy and Theo have so many amazing moments in this book from their first kiss to their first time admitting how they feel for each other. I love how cosmetics/make up where portrayed in such an empowering way in this book. Theo starts out as an aimless bored playboy and I loved watching his character grow from a boy into a man. Tough, Independent, Smart, and Determined to make her dream come true. So when Daisy's mother and Theo's father decide to have them get engaged they are both against it but decide to play along and find a way to stop the wedding together.I love fairy tale retellings and when I saw this "Ugly Duckling" retelling on NetGalley I had to request it and was so excited when I was approved for it.
