The poets reach the banks of the river Acheron where souls await passage into Hell proper. The two poets enter the vestibule of Hell where the souls of the uncommitted are tormented by biting insects and damned to chase a blank banner around for eternity. Dante agrees to the journey and follows Virgil through the gates of Hell. Dante is forced to return to the forest where he meets the spirit of Virgil, who promises to lead him on a journey through Hell so that he may be able to enter Paradise. He sees a sun-drenched mountain in the distance, and he tries to climb it, but three beasts, a leopard, a lion, and a she-wolf, stand in his way.

This book is a glorious revelation." - Boston Globe ![]() is sumptuous and sharp, playful and sparse, grounded in an earthy music. ![]() "The ultimate book for both the dabbler and serious scholar. Alongside such famous works as "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" and "Montage of a Dream Deferred", The Collected Poems includes Hughes's lesser-known verse for children topical poems distributed through the Associated Negro Press and poems such as "Goodbye Christ" that were once suppressed. The collection spans five decades, and is comprised of 868 poems (nearly 300 of which never before appeared in book form) with annotations by Arnold Rampersad and David Roessel. Lyrical and pungent, passionate and polemical, the result is a treasure of a book, the essential collection of a poet whose words have entered our common language. Here, for the first time, are all the poems that Langston Hughes published during his lifetime, arranged in the general order in which he wrote them. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I don’t want to give too much away, and since Red Queen readers already know a little bit of Queen Coriane’s story, I won’t go into detail of how her death came to be. Unfortunately, while she started wondering which royals she could trust, she also started to doubt herself and her own sanity, fearing people were plotting against her. Once she marries the king, many of the royals felt that Coriane wasn’t worthy of her new title. Coriane keeps a secret diary of all the emotions she feels while living in the palace and falling in love with the king. Queen Song takes us back to before Cal was born, when Coriane first met King Tiberias as an adolescent. Queen Song follows Queen Coriane, mother to prince Cal, who readers know from Red Queen. I would recommend reading both novellas after reading Red Queen. My reviews are below. Both of these stories are linked to the first book in Aveyard’s Red Queen series. Cruel Crown, Novellas by Victoria AveyardĬruel Crown by Victoria Aveyard is a combination of two novellas, Queen Song and Steel Scars. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There are still quite a lot of teenage style romance and boy problems in it of course. I would say that the book still targets the younger audience rather than the more adult. It had more of an actual plot than the previous one and Elena, although still bitching a lot, feels a wee bit more mature and tries to take matters more in her own hands. I think that I liked this book a tad better than the previous one. ![]() She can either make peace with Blake’s demands or try once again to unravel the Queen’s secrets that lie deep within her dragon, Tanya La Frey’s, heart. With the life she thought she knew crashing down around her, Elena will have to face a monumental decision about the fate of Paegeia. Only a mysterious offer from Blake Leaf, the Rubicon and a dragon predestined for evil, reveals there may be a light at the end of Elena’s dark tunnel. ![]() However, new trials will test the 17 year-old’s strength and push her to limits she didn’t think were possible. Losing Lucian McKenzie, the Prince of her heart and discovering her true identity has made Elena Watkins’ life almost unbearable.

If you receive a mysterious check, for enough money to erase all your worries, would you cash it? No mention of repayment, interest, nothing…except a single word, on the notes line: "You." Just those three letters. No hint of identity or reason for the check or anything. There was no name on the check, just "VRI Inc.," and a post office box address for somewhere in the city. Enough to pay the bills and leave me some left over to live on until I found a job. Inside was a check, made out to me, in the amount of ten thousand dollars. And then, just when I thought all hope was lost, I found an envelope in the mail. ![]() There was no hope, no money in my account, no work to be found.

Sebastian's investigation takes on new urgency when he discovers that Emma was not the first, or even the second, beautiful young woman in the village to die under suspicious circumstances. Held captive under the British government's watchful eye, the younger Bonaparte is restless, ambitious, and treacherous. Also troubling are the machinations of Lucien Bonaparte, the estranged brother of the megalomaniac French Emperor Napoleon. For as Sebastian and Hero soon discover, Emma was hiding both her true identity and her real reasons for traveling to Ayleswick. Less easy to discern is exactly how she died, and why. Almost immediately, Sebastian realizes that Emma Chance did not, in truth, take her own life. ![]() ![]() But when the body of a lovely widow is found on the banks of the River Teme, a bottle of laudanum at her side, the village's inexperienced new magistrate turns to St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, has come to this seemingly peaceful Shropshire village to honor a slain friend and on a quest to learn more about his own ancestry.
