READ BOOK Darkship Revenge: Darkship, Book 3
Hoyt says "no genre is safe from me." She has more than 30 novels in science fiction, fantasy, mystery, and historical.[8] The first book in her Shakespearean fantasy series, Ill Met by Moonlight was a finalist for the 2002 Mythopoeic Fantasy Award.[9]
The British Empire series[17] takes place in a parallel world, where history from Charlemagne to Queen Victoria parallels ours but is actuated through the workings of magic and not by science and technology. The series consists of three books: Heart of Light, set in Victorian Africa; Soul of Fire unfolds in India; and Heart and Soul in the chaos of 19th century China.
On Coruscant, Padawan Reath Silas and Jedi Master Jora Malli pursue and capture pirates attempting to steal building supplies. Walking through a marketplace afterwards, Malli springs the news to her bookish apprentice that they will be leaving the capital of the Galactic Republic for the frontier. Reath is horrified, as she predicted, but she is unswayed by his plea not to leave, telling him that he needs to find balance within himself, and staying on Coruscant where he can always do what he enjoys is not the way to do it. Malli poses a question to her apprentice: Why can no one cross the Kyber Arch alone? When he realizes the answer, she says, he will understand why they are going to the frontier.
Some weeks later, Reath is at a farewell party thrown by his friends, having stayed behind to finish a historiography class at the Jedi Temple instead of following his Master to the Starlight Beacon. Slightly tipsy, he leaves later than he planned, making it to the appointed docking bay with only a few minutes to spare. However, no one else is there. An explanation is provided by just-arrived Jedi Knight Dez Rydan, Jora Malli's first Padawan, who explains that their original transport broke down and a replacement had to be arranged. Reath is surprised to see him, as Dez had been on a mission on Zeitooine. The third Jedi to arrive is Orla Jareni, notorious for having recently declared herself a Wayseeker to operate independently of the Jedi High Council. Last to arrive is Master Cohmac Vitus, a noted scholar and folklorist who has written footnotes in many of the books Reath has read. As Jareni and Vitus have a strangely tense discussion about their previous experience with the sector of space they will be travelling to, Reath cannot imagine why any of the others would voluntarily travel to the frontier.
Of late I find it difficult to know how to begin to discuss new books. It feels as though I have read so many of them this year that my head is practically bloated with connections and similarities, novelties and clichés, unexpected successes and shocking disappointments. Especially difficult are novellas, whose comparative brevity tends ...Read More 2ff7e9595c
