Frances trollope domestic manners5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() She mentions quite often that Americans believe that “ nothing is worth having, which they do not posses.” She believes that “ the art of man” could hardly discover “ a more effectual antidote to improvement.” She finds the situation in which every “ public oration” and every “ work,” that is “ professedly addressed to the country” elaborates on the topic of their unsurpassed greatness, disgusting and troubling. ![]() The author is not impressed with the idea of American superiority. Nothing is worth having, which they do not posses. She believed that their patriotism was not genuine, for if it was real, then “ the citizens of the United States” would “ surely not” entrust “t hemselves in the hard, dry, stubborn persuasion, that they are the best of the human race.” It irritated her greatly that they were so sure that “ nothing” was “ to be learnt” from the old world, what as more Americans dared to believe that they “ would be able to teach” others. Secondly, she didn’t like assurance of Americans. First of all, she was too devoted to England to do that. It was as clear as a day that the author would never consider the United States the best country in the world. If the citizens of the United States were indeed the devoted patriots they call themselves, they would surely not thus entrust themselves in the hard, dry, stubborn persuasion, that they are the first and the best of the human race.

Matefinder leia stone5/31/2023 ![]() New abilities that arrive at the time they are needed. Everything just falls into place in an unbelievably forced way. Every time there is a new conflict, instead of having to compromise her MC's perfection and show us any true faults that affect the storyline, this chick just gets a new ability that magically handles the situation. While we are on the character development thing, the author has completely made this MC to be perfect. I know that because it was mentioned about ten times in the first and second chapters. No matter that she killed her father (we see no true emotional turmoil for that until the middle of the novel) or ripped some werewolf's head clean off. Let's get married."įURTHER MORE, no character development. This dude mauled me and now I think he is sexy and totally don't care that he MAULED ME? Ok.

The book was YA Fantasy, and the two main characters do fall in Love. It is nice not always having to read an entire series every time you pick up a book that sounds good.

I don’t read all that much of the Fantasy genre and this was one of my first books dealing with the Fairy Folk or Fae Courts.
