I really liked the story itself, it has some fun twists in it and it is incredibly funny. I don’t remember when the last time I read a book with such great illustrations and silly songs. This book looks like children’s book, but it is an adult read. (well, kids can colour in the pictures if you like). Even though this book is a humoresque read, it has some great deep political monologues in it as well.
I really enjoyed this book, and through humoresque writing, it showed, that British politics is one big, messy hotpot. So if you interested in politics and fed up with those serious debates, grab it, read it, enjoy it, and give it to your kids to do some colouring. Everybody wins! 🙂

In this one, Aria adds to her Royal Pod but it isn't as easy as you may think. Political machinations, pirates, and leviathans all feature here. Each kingdom is so very different from the previous ones. I love how Aria is herself, no matter what. The other members of her Pod become clear but the road to true love is never smooth, so Aria and her Pod have some work to do before they all get their HEA.
No middle-book-slump for this series, no sirree. Instead, we have a story full of action and adventure, with plenty of steam. The relationships within the Pod make it so much more interesting than 'just' an erotic tale.
A great addition to the series and definitely recommended by me. Can't wait for the finale.

Those most familiar with Tony Hillerman because of his books set on the Navaho reservation will find this political thriller is quite a departure. Heck, it isn’t even set in the southwest, although we do get a memorable scene there. As a thriller, it took a bit to get going, but once we did, I was hooked with several edge of your seat scenes. John is the only character we truly get to know; it would have been nice to get to know some of the others better. The book originally came out in 1971, and it shows. Parts are definitely dated. None of these complaints are reasons to skip the book. If you pick it up and give it a chance, you’ll find yourself enjoying it.
Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Nothing is True and Everything is Possible: Adventures in Modern Russia in Books
Jul 28, 2017
Peter Pomerantsev is a veteran reporter for Russia, and his tongue and cheek yet informative look into the country is engaging, concerning and at times just plain insane.
The book itself meanders through a variety of topics, mostly based on the writer's experiences of working on various television programmes for state sponsored networks, therefore doesn't strictly stick to the nitty gritty political system.
