![]() So first things first: I know this is titled as a webcomic, but I think this might not be the right description for “Fangs”. I mean a relationship between a vampire and a werewolf? It sounded interesting and I decided to investigate. ![]() This said, I found this on tapas and was immediately intrigued. This is me speaking from the webcomic rabbit hole. Filled with Sarah Andersen’s beautiful gothic illustrations and relatable relationship humor, Fangs has all the makings of a cult classic. This deluxe hardcover edition of Fangs features an “engraved” red cloth cover, dyed black page trim, and 25 exclusive comics not previously seen online. ![]() ![]() Together they enjoy horror films and scary novels, shady strolls, fine dining (though never with garlic), and a genuine fondness for each other’s unusual habits, macabre lifestyles, and monstrous appetites.įirst featured as a webcomic series on Tapas, Fangs chronicles the humor, sweetness, and awkwardness of meeting someone perfectly suited to you but also vastly different. This all changes one night in a bar when she meets Jimmy, a charming werewolf with a wry sense of humor and a fondness for running wild during the full moon. A New York Times bestselling love story between a vampire and a werewolf by the creator of the enormously popular Sarah's Scribbles comics.Įlsie the vampire is three hundred years old, but in all that time, she has never met her match. ![]() ![]() ![]() Foremost of these has to be Witches Abroad. I enjoyed his neglected SF books, like Dark Side of the Sun, and every single one of his Discworld books. People seem to forget that it is mimicked because it is very good, original for its time, and written with an understanding of story and language that few can match. It seems fashionable at the moment to pick holes in the greats, and Lord of the Rings gets the biggest hammering because it is the progenitor of most swords/wizards/elves/dwarves fantasy. ![]() ![]() I recommend all his heroic creations - Druss the axeman, the Jerusalem man, among others - but my favourite has to be Waylander: Clint Eastwood with a crossbow and the same 'make my day, punk' attitude. Gemmell's name guarantees a satisfying story and a thumping good read. The best of the line is The Guns of Avalon. I've read his Princes in Amber books so often I know them almost verbatim, so much so that I am now trying to forget them so I can return to them with renewed pleasure. With fantasy one often has to think of a well-loved series before narrowing the selection to a favourite book. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In return for the assistance she demands in safeguarding the final journey of the serpents up the Rain Wild River, she makes a dramatic intervention in the Chalcedean siege of Bingtown, and condescends to help Reyn search for his beloved Malta, who has been unhappily stranded with the petulant Satrap of Jamaillia. That change is required not just in the minds of the Rain Wild Traders, who will become so intrinsically linked to her iron will, but more generally in the minds of those waging war, who come to realise that, no matter how powerful they are in human terms, there are some forces they can never overcome.ĭirectly or indirectly, Tintaglia’s emergence affects all the plot lines which have been unfurling so intricately during the last two books. In this final instalment in the Liveship Traders trilogy, we rejoin the people of Bingtown and the Rain Wilds in the aftermath of the hatching of the dragon Tintaglia, whose existence calls for a complete change of attitude. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the first book, Scythe, we learnt of the trials of those going into the Scythedom and what it means to hold such a responsibility. While Rowan seeks to kill the most corrupt in the Scythedom with the skills learnt in his apprenticeship, Citra is using her popularity and political sway to convince people to remain moral in their gleanings. Two people are seeking to rid it out – Citra, more commonly known as Scythe Anastasia, and Rowan, her ally who fell short of receiving the title of a Scythe. Spoilers for that book are ahead.Ĭorruption is evident within the Scythedom, the body of trained killers who are the only people possible of being able to kill humans in the near future of earth. And my god, does the future in the Arc of a Scythe series feel so real! The hype was definitely met from when I finished the first book in the trilogy. Quite often dystopia is based around a futuristic society with a rule or law that we consider baffling, that is until we learn how the society got to be in such a state. I don’t think I ever read a dystopian that felt so real before. ![]() I’m scared of the future of humanity after reading this book. ![]() ![]() Rights assessment is your responsibility.

By the time of the Third Crusade, the name "Templar" had been popularized for and become synonymous with this covert group among those in the know of their activities. The last was only a public front for the shadowy organization which in antiquity operated under the name the Order of the Ancients. Amongst their number were counted knightly orders such as the Knights Hospitalier, the Knights Teutonic, and the Knights Templar. These orders were largely founded in the Holy Land itself, ostensibly to protect Christian pilgrims. While a majority of Crusaders served personally in the armies of the kingdoms of Europe, the most iconic were members of a number of Christian military orders who worked in unison with these European kingdoms. The first three, and most prominent, of these conflicts involved military expeditions against the Islamic rulers of the Holy Land, aiming to forcefully claim it in the name of Christianity. The Crusaders were Europeans who undertook the call-to-arms by the Papacy to participate in the Crusades, a series of religious wars enacted against the enemies of the Latin Church. ![]() ![]() The part of public law to which this constitution had application was municipal or state law: the ius civitatis. The first form of lawful constitution was the constitution pertaining to the rights of individuals within the state. Each of these constitutions had application to one or other of what he saw as the three parts of public law. Kant then identified three forms of lawful constitution. This was that whenever men were able to influence one another (and hence able to do or threaten injury to one another), it was required that they should subject themselves to some kind of lawful constitution. ![]() In a footnote to the paragraph introducing discussion of the definitive articles in the Second Section of Perpetual Peace, Kant explained that the articles were based in a governing postulate or assumption. The three definitive articles of a perpetual peace between states described the forms of lawful constitution whose adoption by men and states Kant thought of as the essential precondition for the realization of a lasting international peace based in the rule of law. ![]() ![]() ![]() OUT is a psychologically taut and unflinching foray into the darkest recesses of the human soul, an unsettling reminder that the desperate desire for freedom can make the most ordinary person do the unimaginable. ![]() But then the dismembered body parts are discovered, the police start asking questions and more dangerous enemies begin to close in.
