![]() These events brought the family close to ruin. ![]() They reached the top of the pole just in time to witness the Empire's destruction by the forces unleashed by the French Revolution. ![]() Klemens's ancestors, including his father, adeptly climbed the greasy pole of imperial politics, loyally serving Habsburg interests in the Rhineland and the Austrian Netherlands. It is a strength of this book that it covers in some detail the rise of the Metternich family within the Rhineland, a territorially fragmented region closer to France than to Austria and Prussia, and one where the checks, balances and guarantees of the thousand-year old Holy Roman Empire remained peculiarly strong throughout the eighteenth century. Metternich is forever associated with reaction and Austria, but according to his own words it was the Rhine, not the Danube, that flowed through his veins. ![]() Klemens von Metternich's life spanned the final years of the Holy Roman Empire, the French Revolution, Napoleon, the so-called Restoration and Pre-March, and the 1848 Revolutions, a range that alone justifies the almost one thousand pages that Wolfram Siemann expends in rehabilitating the Austrian statesman. ![]() ![]() ![]() in the second and third books, Emily Windsnap and the Monster from the Deep and Emily Windsnap and the Castle in the Mist, the setting is Allpoints Island (which is in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle).

There was plenty to enjoy in the very technically-minded plot, and even the occasional moment of genuine human emotion (“I release you from your vow”), though less than you might expect from a novel about the near-extinction of the human race.Īs many have pointed out, this novel is bifurcated quite unevenly into two parts: The first two-thirds dealing with the direct aftermath of “The Agent” that blew up the moon and subsequently led to the near-total destruction of the Earth, and a final third set 5,000 years in the future. ![]() I went into this one knowing very little indeed, so the whole thing was a pretty wild ride right from the first sentence which matter-of-factly explains that the moon was suddenly and unexplainably destroyed. ![]() ![]() Charles Duncan McIver on behalf of the education of women.

My book review today is on Jojo Moyes’s “The Giver of Stars.” Here is the summary written on Jojo Moyes’s website:Īlice Wright marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve hoping to escape her stifling life in England. I’ve thankfully had more time to read recently, finished one book, and already 1/3 of the way through another one – so I’m hoping this is the start of many good book reviews to come. And then it took me quite awhile to finish my next book – ha! Funny how that worked out. ![]() Well hi guys! I feel like I mentioned forever ago that I wanted to start book reviews on the blog. ![]() ![]() ![]() There is some techno babble, but it feels much more plausible than a lot of scifi I’ve read. Viv makes no apologies for her sexuality, and the sex scenes are not gratuitous. ![]() ![]() She does have a love interest, a woman who is the daughter of a chief of a tribe her crew comes across, and they do have sexy fun times. There is one part of the book that abruptly slows down, but I appreciated the chance for a little character development and a little soul searching from Viv. The ragtag crew of misfits she joins forces with are mostly out for themselves (I find this much more realistic than the crew that suddenly all loves each other), and Viv is making it up as she goes along. She’s new, she doesn’t know where she is, and the creatures coming after her are super scary. I really loved that she’s faced with terrible and dangerous situations right off the bat. Instead, she sets off a chain of events where she is sent through time and space to a galaxy ruled by a ruthless Emperor, who can blow planets up with her mind. I have been trying to stay away from my favorite genre with books written by white dudes, but I found Empress of Forever on a list of books with a badass heroine, and how could I pass that up?
