"This book shot a lightning-bolt of understanding into my mind regarding the role of social media in the terrible political division racking our country. It also made me think that we make a grave error when we mistake the virtual world (of anonymity, cowardice, surficial snark, and posturing, one-dimensional, self-presentational bravado) for the real one – the one where people have to say things to one another’s faces, and are constrained, via the basic manners we are all pretty adept at learning, from being rude, dickish, or insulting."

3.5 stars.

I got a little lost in the middle but this series is all action, action, action. From pretty much the first page Sara is on a hunt that turns quite entertaining and it didn't stop there.

I am enjoying this series, the whole tarot card thing is different to normal and though I know nothing of it, I'm learning little bits here and there.

Looking forward to reading more of Sara and the Magician, and whatever is currently blooming between them.

Off to start the last book in the trilogy boxset.

"I read Beloved when it came out in 1987, and it was one of the most difficult books I've ever encountered. The rhythm of the writing, the cadence — it was like learning a new language where you're just banging your head against a wall. Then, after several chapters, a door opens and you're in. To me, the book is all emotion, a big morass of feeling. It's remarkable. What this woman goes through, what she believes she has to do is so horrific — you can't help but think, "How does she survive?"

This memoir is the true story of Jessica Fishman, a young Jewish woman from the USA and her experiences when she moved to Israel to start a life there. In this book, Fishman details all the pitfalls of her learning Hebrew, getting into the army, finding a job as a civilian as well as the straw that broke the camel's back and forced her back to America (for a while). Read what I thought of this autobiography in my review here.
