Extra for those who love Rhys and Feyre

I dwelled in these more settled and happy times for Feyre and Rhysand and it was pleasant to witness. I lived for the expansion on Azriel, Cassian, Nesta, Elain and even Tamlin. I want more of those ‘Illyrian babies’, so much more.

It did lack a bit of excitement but then, you can’t have everything if you’re getting the settled, happy times. It does make me long for the next in the series, however and I’ll never be ready to be done with Fey-sand.

Deborah (162 KP) rated Forensic Shakespeare in Books

Dec 21, 2018

Forensic doesn't mean this is the Shakespeare equivalent of Silent Witness - this is a book looking at a group of Shakespeare's plays (and one poem), of which several are often considered 'problem' plays and the use of rhetoric within them. Skinner argues that this is deliberate and relates to a re-emerging interest in the Roman Rhetoricians in the Tudor period. The book is based on a series of lectures given by Skinner, so although as a casual reader I found it interesting, it was also hard work at times, particularly the opening chapters.
