6/30/2023 0 Comments The great fire hazzardThis is what gives the book so much power. understanding the motivations of the characters & their environment without much third-party explication. The author has a hypnotic writing style that brings the reader into the frame. Out of this the central & surprisingly believable love story between decorated war veteran of 32, and an 18 year-old girl, much older than her years in some respects & an 18 year-old in others, emerges. All are seeking a way out of their wounds by helping others, in official capacities (bomb survey, postwar trials, nursing relatives) and in their personal lives. It should appeal to those who enjoy traditional romance novels, but also to readers who prefer historical fiction & literature, with some romance thrown in to drive the action All of the principal characters might be considered as members of the walking wounded. The "Great Fire" is a high-class romance novel that contains a mixture of historical fiction, psychological portraiture, political commentary on WWII and its aftermath (particularly in east Asia, but also with some focus on England & Australia & New Zealand).

Plus, what is the comparison between Crimson Bound and the 90s classic The Pagemaster? Listen to find out! We discuss our strong feelings toward this book, the intense worldbuilding, the wandering plot, how the story may or may not relate to Little Red, and Scarlet Moon by Debbie Viguie. We once again find ourselves asking the question, "What does it take to count a book or movie as a true adaptation?" This novel, purported to be "inspired by" the story of Little Red, focuses on Rachelle, a young woman who finds herself struggling to save her world while also trapped in a classic YA love triangle. In our third week of Little Red Riding Hood Month, Drew and Cassie discuss Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge.
