If you’ve read some school-based progression fantasy series where you sit on the main characters shoulder as you read paragraph after paragraph of a dry history lesson, you’ll appreciate that this doesn’t happen. Cal’s ignorance provides a natural vehicle for exposition, and Krout manages it without being too heavy handed, doling out pieces as the book progresses rather than upending a torrent of technical details in the first chapter. ![]() The relationship between the dungeon, Cal, and his wisp, Dani, is strength of the series for sure. There’s even the dungeon wisp, a fairy-like creature there to provide guidance and help to the dungeon. What this means is you follow the development of a sentient dungeon rather than a human character for most of the series. The Divine Dungeon series was my introduction to dungeon-core novels, and for that, I thank you, Dakota Krout. That said, I’ve read this series more than once, so it must be doing something right! ![]() This is another series I’ve read which I got instantly hooked on with a great premise, only to feel a bit let down at the conclusion many books later. ![]() ![]() ![]() Destinies are intertwined, identities exchanged, lovers confused.

But when she unwittingly attracts the ire of the Witch of the Waste, Sophie finds herself under a horrid spell that transforms her into an old lady. Sophie has the great misfortune of being the eldest of three daughters, destined to fail miserably should she ever leave home to seek her fate. This entrancing classic fantasy novel is filled with surprises at every turn. An international bestseller, this much-loved book is the source for the Academy Award nominee for Best Animated Feature. ![]() ![]() Aciman avoids this slump deftly, paying homage to the characters he created whilst serenading the reader through their journeys of growth-as human and flawed as these may be. It is even more difficult, I imagine, when said book has since been turned into a blockbuster film that catapulted current teen heartthrob Timothée Chalamet to stardom. ![]() It is difficult to avoid a sophomore slump when the book you wrote has become canon for anyone who is either gay or believes in love in countries the world over. ![]() What results is a story about time and how we watch it move endlessly forward and forward, while certain things stick with us and many memories don’t. Set decades after the ending of the first installment, we again find ourselves with Samuel, an illustrious but bumbling and lonely academic Elio, Samuel’s son and a talented and dreamily idealistic pianist and Oliver, the man with whom Elio had an affair, who has since developed his own brand of charismatic academic-cum-family man. ![]() When we grow up, where do we go?

Good barnyard fun, with nods to Mo Willems’ aspirational Pigeon and Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin’s enterprising Duck. Ordered back to her pasture, where she encounters the farmer, the cow fingers an innocent bystander with a one-word accusation: “Baaaaa!” Wohnoutka’s cheery, cartoonish gouache pictures deliver the action accessibly enough for toddlers to enjoy, while new readers will ace the simple text and get the broad jokes. The titular word is extensively employed in the text one extremely long “Mooooooo” undulates over the hills in the wake of the car as the cow sets out, and her excuse is delivered to the policeman in a string of 28 of ’em. A page turn reveals worse news: The crushed car is a police vehicle, and the perturbed cop’s standing nearby. Out of control, car and cow careen off a cliff and crunch another car. Leaping at the opportunity, she motors off on a joy ride, but the joy lasts a mere four pages. Said cow, brown and white and wearing a bell, notices that the farmer’s put a “Car for Sale” sign on his vehicle. A venturesome cow sneaks off in her farmer’s red car, with decidedly bumpy results. ![]() ![]() ![]() struggle to make sense of an existence now permanently enclosed within a prison’s walls is one of the more moving accounts in Bazelon’s book.

The best criminal justice reporting tagged with Emily Bazelon, curated by. Yet, though Bazelon’s larger points about the madness of prosecutorial power are all impeccably well taken, the two central cases she uses to illustrate these points are somewhat surprising choices. She has a good ear for talk, and a fine eye for detail. Her book achieves what in-depth first-person reporting should: it humanizes the statistics, makes us aware that every courtroom involves the bureaucratic regimentation of an individual’s life. She tells these stories in microscopic detail, analyzing the background of each bizarre stop along the infernal circle-why bail is so hard to get and why it exists at all why public defenders are often so inadequate-in a way that allows the specific case stories to become general truths. Charged, though far-reaching in purpose, is above all a study of two cases in which prosecutorial misconduct or overreach put two people through hell. ![]() |
