•This lavishly decorated book, featuring around 200 photographs, delineates the rich and varied history of Baluchar textiles, especially the saris


•The very town that this wonderful sari bears the name of - Baluchar - is now gone, but the Baluchar sari is still alive, and is continuing to come off looms. How this art form traveled from Murshidabad to Bishnupur, then to Benares as well as to museums around the world has been analyzed and documented within the pages of this book


•The transition from Nawabi to Colonial rule in Bengal was beautifully captured in the superbly crafted works of Baluchar weavers from images of hookah-smoking nawabs and courtesans playing musical instruments, to English soldiers with canons, English women sitting boldly with their menfolk on elephants, hunting scenes, steamboats and trains


•Each of the essays in the book has been written by a specialist in the field of Indian textiles, focusing on the heritage, conservation and revival of Baluchars


The historic Baluchar textiles of Bengal are a testament to a unique weaving tradition. Composed of the finest silk, these textiles were painstakingly woven with intricate figurative and decorative patterns. They represent more than just a textile tradition. They are a window into the socio-cultural set-up of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The transition from Nawabi to Colonial rule in Bengal has been beautifully captured through these textiles. This richly illustrated book traces the historical development of Baluchar textiles, especially saris, and the position this art form has come to acquire in the twenty-first century. By dissecting the conditions, inspirations, materials, techniques and aesthetic qualities of this weaving tradition, this book showcases how this art form traveled from Murshidabad to Bishnupur, then to Benares as well as to museums around the world.

Schatten über Toruń

Polen, 1944
Die Wehrmacht verfolgt bei Thorn eine versprengte Widerstandsgruppe der polnischen Heimatarmee. Es ist nur noch eine Frage der Zeit, bis sie die schlecht bewaffneten, ausgehungerten und völlig erschöpften Männer und Frauen erreicht haben. Deren Todesurteil steht bereits fest. Die Fliehenden halten auf ein kleines, aber dichtes Wäldchen zu, zögern aber aus unersichtlichen Gründen, bevor sie zwischen den Bäumen Schutz suchen. Die Deutschen sind verwundert. Und noch irritierter sind sie, als die Polen mit Entsetzen im Blick wieder aus dem Wäldchen herauskommen - und direkt den Deutschen in die Arme laufen. Was kann so erschreckend sein, dass die Widerstandskämpfer den sicheren Tod vorziehen?

The Six Pillars of SelfEsteem Audible Audio Edition Dr Nathaniel Branden Macmillan Audio Books Reviews

• I'm torn between 3 stars and 5 stars. I think I'll go with 3 stays, because the material is amazing but very difficult to get through. I wish it was more clear and concise, so that the reader would get through it quicker and began to practice it in their daily life.
  
  The first half of the book is life changing. I bolted through it in a few hours. It gave me a realization that pulled me out of a 9 month on and off depression. Since reviewing some of the material whenever I feel down, along with other resources, it gave me insight and clarity in my life that has sustained joy in the past 3 months. I hope it continues. The most significant part that brought me to awareness was his quote about his dog, that I have shared with many others. He says his dog is focused on enjoying the outdoors, chasing squirrels and sniffing flowers, not worried at all about being "happier" than the other dogs. I don't know if it impacts others the way it did for me, because it was incredibly applicable to my own situation. I realized the significance and potential of this book to impact my life after reading that, and began taking notes seriously.
  
  The second half of the book, in contrast to the first half... took quite a while to finish. It was dry, convoluted, and many of the same ideas are restated. It's his observations, theories and philosophy, and not really applicable to me. I finished it at last today. Just read the first half where it introduces the concept of self esteem, and MAYBE the last few pages on "The Seventh Pillar" and the appendices.
• I bought this book from at the full price. It's a solid self-help book, and superb as long as the author sticks to the field of psychology. Parts I and II deal with establishing a solid definition of self-esteem and a cogent explanation of the Six Pillars. I found the sentence-completion exercises to be illuminating and helpful, and shouldn't be skipped if you plan to get the most out of the book. I may even purchase Branden's workbook for more sentence stem work.
  
  Unfortunately, Part III of the book strays away from psychology and into the realm of philosophy. Here, Dr. Branden sounds more like his ex-lover Ayn Rand. Honestly, you can skip Part III of this book and still get more than your money's worth.
  
  EDIT Do read the final chapter, 18 - Conclusion The Seventh Pillar of Self-Esteem. Appendix B is also worthwhile.
• The pros Branden certainly has a lot of insights from his experience as a psychotherapist. He presents many relatable stories and experiences that readers can learn from.
  
  The cons
  
  The book is vague, and aside from the examples (which a person may or may not identify with), the advice he gives is very abstract. Take responsibility for your life. Accept yourself. Be conscious. I'm having a very hard time wrapping my head around these concepts because there are obviously a lot more steps needed to fully understand them. Especially "be conscious." The author falls short at explaining the idea of consciousness and how it relates to self esteem.
  
  The book is a difficult read. At first I questioned my own intelligence because I felt that I was reading certain sentences repeatedly without understanding what the author was getting at. Then I realized that Branden is a long-winded and sometimes contradictory writer, who doesn't fully respect the process of logical reasoning. This all became 100% clear to me when I realized he was a former lover of Ayn Rand. His writing is a worse version of Rand's writing. It's all the long-windedness and "what's-he-getting-at"s Rand is notorious for, but with less insights per page.
• Please please please buy this. And highlight in it. And take notes. Then buy tons more copies and pass them out to everyone you care about.
  
  If you have an analytical mind in addition to self-esteem struggles of any kind- you will be doing yourself a huge favor by introducing this book and all the content in it.
• This book discusses crucial current issue mainly people specifically newer generations suffer, which is low self-esteem. The author did a great job explaining what actually self-esteem entails and that it is not in isolation from other important personal traits as self-assertiveness and responsibility for example. additionally, it contains plenty of exercises to do in order to enhance each of the mentioned six pillars. The only pitfall from my perspective is the language the book written with. It is kind of recondite, the author usually used long sentences and the vocabulary is not common at all. Maybe because I am not native English speaker, I feel his language is difficult. all in all, it is a nice book.
• I'm a psychotherapist and I have gotten a lot out of this book personally and have recommended it to a lot of my clients. It isn't new by any means, but the information in it is timeless. I highly recommend this book to just about everyone. It can really help you make sense of your lives and help you feel good about yourself, in real ways, not in just shallow affirmations. Read this and you just might become both a "better" person and a much happier person.
•  AMAZING book.
  If you have self-esteem problems, you must read it.
  If you DON'T have self-esteem problems, you STILL should read it!
  Here is a short video review for you to understand why.

Burnout The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle Emily Nagoski PhD Amelia Nagoski DMA 9781984817068 Books Reviews

• This book is special and important. It's the kind of book you want to give to everyone you know because you know it will make their lives a better place. From understanding the importance of completing the stress cycle, to facing down "Human Giver Syndrome" to making friends with the madwoman we all have in our attic, the Nagoski sisters break down some serious research and make it easy to understand and apply. Please do yourself a favor and read this book immediately.
• I loved the pop culture references, which added a depth and commonality of them. Pop culture is a product of its times, and our times are, as the euphemism goes, "interesting." The use of pop culture to help figure out our responses is a brilliant short cut. BURNOUT taught me so many helpful things, vivid metaphors that should stick in my mind for when the stress is high and my mind is casting about for a place to ground itself. Although many Star Trek references abound, so do others. So very Darmok and Jalad at Tenagra.
• I learned a lot about myself and my stress, and finally an understandable way to manage it. This book is realistic and relatable and I know I'll read it multiple times.
• This is an incredible groundbreaking book, for everyone (if the non-women can get past it being written for women). The first two chapters alone are worth the price of the book, just for all the information on how stress and stressors work in our bodies and how to help our bodies heal. Highly recommended.
• I loved Emily's first book "Come As You Are" and knew that this one would be a home run as well. She and her sister do a fantastic job of making you feel seen while also giving practical solutions. I recommend this to everyone and plan on randomly leaving it in coffee shops so that someone can happen upon it.
• Excellent, intersectional lens and approach to self-help with relatable anecdotes and science-based tips to improve your life. I love this book and it has improved my life already.
• Would highly recommend this to anyone who identifies as female, or knows and cares about someone who identifies as female.
• Burnout by Emily (PhD) & Amelia (DMA) Nagoski is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in late March.
  
  From page 1, this book is immediately directed toward women, which I initially sorta balked at and felt like I was being given a good-intention, high-volume, New Age talking-to. Written by identical twin sisters (who offer frequent pop culture references, real-talk asides, and emphatically describe things to a reader, as if highlighting concepts with wiggly jazz hands), they define burnout as a mix of prolonged emotional labor, caregiver fatigue, and feeling as though your efforts are not noticed or rewarded. They advise their readers to confront and respond to stressors in a full circle, complete-the-process sorta way, finding what works for you and self-care that works, addressing debilitating self-talk, charting the plus and minuses of a decision that needs to be made, being comfortable with who you are and how you look, shrugging off expectation and nearly unreal societal standards, and seeking & maintaining meaningful connections with others - all with a heavy hand in narrative therapy tactics.

The Sorrow Hand A Nick Drake Novel Book 1 Audible Audio Edition Dwight Holing Steve Marvel Tantor Audio Books Reviews

• The author, Dwight Howling, has written and extremely good mystery, which takes place in a locale that I have some personal experience and was the deciding factor in why I chose to purchase and read this book (normally as the author was someone I had never read before, I would have skipped it as it was not offered as a -Unlimited selection).
  
  That said, I’m certainly glad that purchased it as it was definitely worth it! I did however only award it 4-Stars as there were some “carry-over” editing issues. (5-Stars is reserved for “Overall Perfection”. Granted there were very few, however there were enough to knock off a star.
  
  This is definitely a mystery. It is not filled with action, though there is a great deal of it, and it does not depend upon “action scenes” to carry the storyline, that is carried forward from scene to scene, by an excellent overall plot, great characterization, and a writing style that many other authors may envy.
  
  I liked the protagonist “Nick Drake” and I was able to identify with his “issues” to a great extent though his fight against his addiction to heroin, his own personal “demon”, is not one of them, though the root of its cause…I’ll just say that I too understand “walking with the dead”.
  
  Even though I only gave this 4 Stars I do HIGHLY Recommend it. I will also be looking forward to the second book in the Nick Drake Series. Hopefully it will not be a long wait, but in the mean time I believe I’ll try another of Mr. Holing’s offerings.
• The descriptions of an area I'm unfamiliar with is what kept me going, in spite of more than a few character tropes and obvious plot manipulations. It's as if the author started with the typical set of cardboard cutouts and then tried to give each one enough detail to lift it above the mold it was taken from. Unfortunately, these superficial trappings could not hide the bones. I did enjoy a few of the traits of the main character and handling of his struggles. I did not enjoy being hit over the head with Vietnam PTSD. These are issues that could be addressed with a bit more subtlety. Also, yes there are a few editing issues not typos but bits and pieces of plot and/or dialogue out of order. In the end, I read the entire book and would probably try another one if the author chooses to continue as a series.
• This is the second time I have read a novel series where the hero is a wildlife Ranger. The first is of course, the Joe Pickett novels by CJ Box. They are some of my favorite works and I just finished the latest one, and look forward to many more.
  So I was a little hesitant, frankly, when I read in the notes for this book that it was about a fish and wildlife character. However, this book is so different in so many ways that I was able to enjoy it for itself, and not compare it to the Pickett books.
  .I’m not sure that it is written as smoothly as the Pickett books but then the style of writing, which is choppier and much more direct, fits the character and the setting to a T.
  This is not Wyoming, present day, this is Oregon in the late 1960s.
  This is not Joe Pickett, slightly world-weary, stridently honest, letter of the law to a fault,. Nick Drake is a Vietnam veteran, struggling with addiction and posttraumatic stress disorder. He admits to being a junkie and relying on it to still the nightmares that still haunt him over his time in country. Being from this generation, and having friends that came back from Vietnam changed in so many ways, the character of Nick Drake is pretty believable.The author weaves the flashbacks of his time in Vietnam quite well with the present day narrative. The characters are well crafted, sympathetic, and more than anything flawed in a real sense.
  As the old saying goes, this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship, with sequels a plenty. Hail and farewell, Nick Drake.
• In this well-crafted story, Nick Drake tries to solve, with the assistance of a crusty, and colorful deputy, Pudge, the disappearance and murder of several young women while Drake fights his own personal demons from a war halfway around the world. In a style that might remind one of James Lee Burke, Dwight Holing weaves a story of intrigue and drama underpinned by Native American mysticism and Drake’s struggle to overcome PTSD. Drake is a very interesting and complex character that drives the story through flashbacks to Vietnam around the time of the Tet Offensive and his current job as a conservation officer. This page-turner will keep you guessing and riveted to the end.
  
  Jeffrey Miller, Bureau 39
• Nick Drake is wonderfully complex character and I was invested in this story from the very first page. His backstory in Vietnam is beautifully (and horrifically) described. It was all very visceral and real, layered and emotional. I’m a huge fan of westerns and this felt very much like a
  contemporary western married with a mystery. I love the setting and time period. Eastern Oregon in 1968. It was a time of incredible turmoil and change and the story vividly reflects all of it. The dialogue crackles with wit and honesty and the action scenes are beautifully written and really exciting. If you’re looking for a smart, thrilling, beautifully written pager-turner, look no further. I can't wait for book two.

«La France pourrait pour la première fois quitter la place qui fut toujours la sienne à l’avant-garde de l’Histoire. Pis que cela, si l’on en croit certains il ne lui resterait plus qu’à méditer sur l’irréductible diversité de ses origines et sur les crimes qu’elle n’aurait cessé de commettre.
Eh bien ! Cette vision lacrymale et pénitentielle de l’Histoire de mon pays ne sera jamais la mienne ; je ne l’accepterai jamais.
Ce que nous vivons aujourd’hui n’est rien de moins qu’un changement d’époque. Au moment où s’affirment les grandes puissances régionales du monde de demain, l’Europe fait preuve d’une incroyable impuissance. Et la France se trouve bien seule et bien démunie, en proie à des déchirements intérieurs. Or elle n’a d’unité que dans son passé, d’avenir qu’en Europe, de raison d’être que dans l’universalité de ses valeurs. »
Les analyses de Jacques Julliard publiées précédemment dans Le Figaro sont ici réunies pour la première fois, accompagnées d’une introduction inédite. Le travail du journaliste rejoint celui de l’historien pour dresser le portrait édifiant de la France d’aujourd’hui, mettant en lumière les démons qui l’assaillent et esquissant les défis qu’elle a à relever, sans oublier ce qui a toujours fait sa force sa vocation à être la patrie de l’universel.

A grandson’s photo album. Old postcards. English porcelain. A granite headstone. These are just a few of the material objects that help reconstruct the histories of colonial people who lived during Japan’s empire. These objects, along with oral histories and visual imagery, reveal aspects of lives that reliance on the colonial archive alone cannot. They help answer the primary question of Lost Histories Is it possible to write the history of Japan’s colonial subjects? Kirsten Ziomek contends that it is possible, and in the process she brings us closer to understanding the complexities of their lives.

Lost Histories provides a geographically and temporally holistic view of the Japanese empire from the early 1900s to the 1970s. The experiences of the four least-examined groups of Japanese colonial subjects―the Ainu, Taiwan’s indigenous people, Micronesians, and Okinawans―are the centerpiece of the book. By reconstructing individual life histories and following these people as they crossed colonial borders to the metropolis and beyond, Ziomek conveys the dynamic nature of an empire in motion and explains how individuals navigated the vagaries of imperial life.

HELLFIRE
di Connie Furnari
Genere Romantic Suspense Paranormal
Romanzo autoconclusivo in volume unico

Un amore che brucia più delle fiamme dell’Inferno.
Non esiste passione senza tormento, non esiste pace per un’anima maledetta che ama per la prima volta.

«È stato nell’attimo stesso in cui ti ho vista, che mi sono reso conto di essere sempre stato morto, Lilith. Mi hai fatto rinascere e non avrei mai creduto potesse essere così doloroso. L’unico modo che conosco per placare questa sofferenza è sprofondare in te, annegare nella tua oscurità. È la sola cosa che mi fa andare avanti. Sono dannatamente affamato di te…»
«Spero che tu non smetta mai di esserlo, Sam. O sarei io a morire.»

Los Angeles, la città degli angeli. Dove niente è mai come sembra. Sam ha sempre provato a domare il suo spirito ribelle, dissoluto e perverso, senza mai riuscirci, tenendosi lontano da Nate, impeccabile e incorrotto, il quale un tempo era il suo migliore amico, prima che tutto tra loro due cambiasse.
Quando ancora i loro nomi erano Samhael e Nathaniel.
Finché non arriva lei, la bellissima e malinconica Lilith, dai lunghi capelli scarlatti. La tentatrice che spezzerà ogni equilibrio e che scatenerà fra i due rivali una guerra senza precedenti, per averla.
Ma Lilith porta con sé un’ombra oscura, che la perseguita fin dalla nascita, a causa della quale è costretta a traslocare da Portland.
La passione sfrenata e il desiderio la stravolgeranno il suo cuore si troverà a dover scegliere tra Sam e Nate, ignorando che da quella scelta dipenderà la distruzione di uno di loro, o di entrambi e di quello che rappresentano.
Per delle anime condannate a non amare, lei può essere la salvezza o la dannazione eterna. Il Fuoco Infernale.

Hellfire è un Romantic Suspense con una storia d’amore hot e incandescente, un Paranormal pieno d’azione e colpi di scena, una lotta di passioni fino all’ultima pagina, in una spirale di sensualità, sangue e morte.
Il romanzo è narrato con il punto di vista alternato dei due protagonisti Sam e Lilith, in una Los Angeles gotica e piovosa.

HELLFIRE (stralcio)
Le mie mani gli accarezzarono la schiena e lo sentii rabbrividire, i miei polpastrelli si avvicinarono alle sue cicatrici.
«Io non posso evitare di amarti, Sam. Per me è una necessità. È come respirare.»
Chiuse gli occhi, appena la mia bocca baciò le cicatrici sulle sue spalle, seguendo ogni centimetro di quelle profonde ferite. Le mie braccia gli circondarono il torace e si irrigidì.
Quando cercai di osare di più, di sfiorare il bordo dei suoi jeans, le sue mani afferrarono le mie, stringendole con forza disperata. «Non puoi salvarmi, Lilith.»
Compresi che aveva dischiuso le palpebre.
I miei baci divennero ancora più intensi, il mio abbraccio più profondo. «Sì, invece. L’ho già fatto.» Stavolta non ci saremmo fermati. Ci saremmo posseduti a vicenda. Sam apparteneva a me, dal primo momento in cui c’eravamo incontrati.
Si voltò, mi afferrò con forza i glutei, sollevandomi da terra. La sua bocca si impossessò della mia, con un bacio che mi travolse.

Mere Christianity C S Lewis Kathleen Norris 9780060652920 Books Reviews

• Mere Christianity is a GREAT book, but DO NOT BUY THIS VERSION.
  - It has NO text justification so that each line is a random length and many lines are a single word (see picture)
  - It has NO paragraph spaces, chapter headings, or page numbers
  - It has weird text at the start for what appears to be a digital version of the book (see photos)
  
  It looks like someone copied all the text from a webpage, put in a document and just hit "print" without any editing or formatting or anything. DO NOT BUY this version.
• Please do not order this book, the formatting, spelling, grammar is not representative of the original text. It's as if someone retyped the book and bound it. You will be completely frustrated if you purchase this item, totally unreadable. Please find another supplier for the original book .
• As someone else has already said, whatever this version or specific seller this is looks like garbage and looks like it was printed and bound by somebody in their basement after printing out the text file from a torrent. There's no publisher info, at all. I wish I would have looked at this more closely as soon as I got it, as it stands now it's likely too late.
  
  Go buy this classic somewhere else.
• I did not realize this was a 'print on demand' version when I ordered...but it soon became apparent
  The book is horribly formatted it is missing breaks, indentations, chapter headings, etc. There is no variation in font or type size to distinguish between sections...it looks as though the text were copy-pasted into an editing program (which was not used to edit) and printed.
  I have included a couple of photos to illustrate what I am complaining about.
  This shabbiness has rendered a classic unreadable. 1 star for the low price only.
• It is difficult to limit my excitement about this classic work by C.S. Lewis. I first read the book while in college and now I am taking several fellows through the book in a small group setting. It is a timeless classic that is as true today as when it was originally penned by Lewis as a series of talks given in London over the BBC during the challenging days of WW2. One must remember the historical setting when they read through the work. Because this is a compilation of a series of talks, Lewis did not assume that the people who heard his first series of lectures necessarily heard the lectures in the second series. As a result, one might think he is mildly repetitive. As you work through this great book take some time to digest the material in each chapter and reflect upon the material that Lewis covers and the thoroughness of his argument and perspectives. The book is a chronology of the thinking processes Lewis went through as his spiritual journey traveled from atheism and reluctantly to Theism and ultimately to Christianity. It is amazingly refreshing and valid for any reader. One thing I have discovered about Lewis is that he typically packs more into one sentence than most authors do in a paragraph. I cannot recommend this work high enough.
• it looks like this book was typed and printed out by an eight year old on his mom's laserjet printer. Sentences stop after a few words and are continued on the next line. EVERYTHING is left-aligned making it difficult to read. Extremely disappointed.
• The content of the book is great. One of the best arguments for the Christian faith of all time. But this version is unreadable. The entire book is unformatted--from the table of contents to the end. Lines are broken into tiny pieces and there are not breaks between paragraphs. Worst book print job I have ever seen. Unless you want to be disappointed, leave this version alone.
• C.S. Lewis builds Christian doctrine from the ground up, for both believers and non-believers alike. He does not assume that a reader already knows x or believes y. He expertly (and extensively) uses metaphor to help mere humans understand the incomprehensible facts about God.
  
  For the non-believer, it is a great opportunity to get a bare-bones explanation of everything Christians believe. For the believer, it is a great help in understanding why you believe what you believe. Many Christians, without really realizing it, believe things without knowing why. Lewis's explanation of Christian doctrine from the ground up helps the Christian fill in the blank parts of their theological understanding.
  
  There is not one single day in which an idea from this book doesn't pass through my mind, and I use logic from the book on a regular basis to explain what I believe and why. I would highly recommend this book.

Eileen has never been interested in love. Ever since her father's abandonment, she's vowed to never experience such pain again. But the enchanted forest has different ideas. When the continuously shifting pathways lead her to a mysterious stranger, Eileen finds her promise to fiercely guard her heart increasingly difficult to keep.

One night when she becomes lost in a storm, the enchanted forest's pathways lead her to the castle, home to the kingdom's Dark Prince, where Eileen finds herself entangled in what many consider an opportunity but which Eileen believes to be a curse competing for the Dark Prince’s hand through a series of tests that judge one’s royal worth. Eileen is neither royal nor interested in becoming a princess. But the mysterious stranger she met in the woods has his own reasons for helping her succeed, although the cost of his assistance may be too high that of Eileen's heart, the one thing she's vowed never to give.

Inspired by “The Princess and the Pea” and "Rumpelstiltskin"

Pathways The Kingdom Chronicles Book 1 eBook Camille Peters Reviews

• Like many princess stories, the main character in Pathways starts out as a peasant girl. Eileen is a skilled artist, a lot like Elaine from Goldheart, another "Rumpelstiltskin" adaptation. However, Eileen feels more like an outdated Rodgers and Hammerstein heroine. She starts out by saying she will never fall in love and winds up doing just that. Back in the '50s, that used to be a traditional character arc for women, but today, princesses make it pretty clear whether or not they want to fall in love and stick to their decision, no matter how much other people try to convince them otherwise. Not only that, but for someone who is so mistrusting of men, Eileen lets Aiden get away with some pretty shady stuff. For instance, when he first meets her, he attempts to slice off a lock of her hair without permission, misses, and accidentally slices her neck. That's not creepy at all, right? It only gets worse as the book goes on, but Eileen continues to forgive him over and over in spite of her stubbornness about love.
  
  Romance aside, the first half of the book is incredibly slow. Eileen spends most of her time in an enchanted forest that continuously morphs its paths akin to Pan's Labyrinth. Even though the forest is different every time she goes there, she feels safe within its trees and trusts them to always guide her home. The forest guides her to beautiful areas that she draws in her sketchbook. She thinks that she was the only one who knows its secrets until she meets Aiden. Her encounters with him in the forest go on for much longer than they should with absolutely nothing of interest happening in the story. Rosie, Eileen's best friend, tries to convince her that she is in love with Aiden even though she never actually sees them together. It starts to feel as though the story is forcing Eileen to fall in love with Aiden in spite of her own wishes.
  
  The second half of the book is inspired by "The Princess and the Pea," but without the pea or the tower of mattresses. The forest leads Eileen to a castle where she is mistaken for a long-lost princess and must compete for the hand of the prince against her own will. She soon learns that Aiden lives in the castle as well, and the rest is painfully predictable. By this point, the lack of a villain really starts to hurt the story. I saw every plot twist from a mile away, and there were no obstacles between Eileen and her happy ending. In fact, Aiden felt more like a villain than any other character, including the mean-spirited princess. I was so angry with Aiden for his actions by the end of the story that I felt like he was entirely undeserving of Eileen.
  
  Pathways is a forced love story and very little else. It doesn't work as a fairy tale adaption because it does absolutely nothing to enhance the fairy tales that inspired it. Eileen could have been a stronger heroine if she had stayed true to her word of never falling in love, but everything in the book seems to revolve around proving her wrong. Her relationship with her parents is more interesting than her relationship with Aiden, but it never gets explored, even she obsesses over her father's mysterious disappearance. I think I would have enjoyed it more if it had focused on Eileen learning the truth about her father instead of on a relationship that she never wanted in the first place.
• I started this one not really knowing anything about it, but ended up loving it! Well written, this story is an interesting twist on fairy-tales, and I love the author's style! Camille Peters has created something all her own taking inspiration from stories like The Princess and the Pea” and "Rumpelstiltskin" she's worked magic, and I'm so happy I found this title!
• Talk about being sucked into a story. I was almost immediately drawn into this fairy tale world. The magic was perfect. The romance was engaging. I am so happy I read this one. The characters were perfectly flawed and I could relate to them so well. The mystery was beautifully woven into the story and I found myself wondering about things that were eventually answered for me. What a rich fairy tale world, I can't wait to go back, there are other heroes and Heroines I want to get to know more fully. What a wonderful first novel. I will definitely read this one again.
• I LOVED this fairytale romance!! The setting was so enchanting and beautiful, and the storyline was wonderfully unexpected. I really enjoy fairytale retellings and this was a fantastic one!
  
  The forest was a favorite of mine in this tale- it was alive and had so much to do with the direction of the story. I thought the title and the theme of pathways was artfully woven through the story.
  
  The two main characters were so likeable and relatable. I loved that both had their own prejudices and faults, and they learned to see past each of their shortcomings. So many of their obstacles seemed insurmountable, and I liked seeing the growth and selflessness that came about as the story unfolded.
  
  I can’t wait to see what the author writes next (I believe a book about Rosie!) but there were many supporting characters I’d be happy to see a book about!
• It was a rough read, with no natural flow to the story. It seemed forced, as though the author was trying to reach a word count quota. It was just ok.
• I was completely gobsmacked with Pathways! I stayed up all night reading it because I just couldn't put it down. I love fairy tale retellings A LOT - it's the main reason I read the book - but this one was just so much more because although it had bits and pieces of Rumplestiltskin and The Princess and The Pea, it was still completely unique and all her own! (I'm still blown away by the story (several weeks later) and can't force myself to take it off of my book carousel so I can see it every day and be reminded of what an outstanding book it is.) I am in serious awe of her writing talents and am grateful to have found another clean romantic fairy tale author.
  
  Aaaand now I'm done fangirling like a teenager. ;)
  
  ***Minor Spoilers Ahead***
  
  At the beginning of the story, it's clear that Aiden is moody and entitled- he's used to getting what he wants without question and no one tells him 'no'. He's nicknamed the Dark Prince for a reason; not the Sweet Prince or the Charming Prince. He meets a beautiful girl in the forest and wants a lock of her hair to remember her by, so he pulls out his dagger and he takes it. Done. He feels his action is okay, even though it's clearly not. He didn't mean to cut her skin in the process. That's why Eileen is so great for Aiden she humanizes him. Even though he accidentally hurt her, Eileen is intrigued by the mysterious stranger in the forest. Why does her heart pick up every time she sees him? It's not like she's never met a handsome man before. The forest trees and pathways keep leading them to each other for a reason, no matter how long Eileen tries to resist its call. Now it's time to find out if she's brave enough to pursue a relationship with him and if he can soften his heart enough to win her love.
