One where extermination programs and coups are staples. One where vaccine apartheid is normalized for so many. This episode takes a look at how the world we all now came to be.

This book is part of the Shambhala Pocket Library series. Wu was a recognized authority on Taoism and the translator of several Taoist and Zen texts and of Chinese poetry. ![]() ![]() Wu has done a remarkable job of rendering this subtle text into English while retaining the freshness and depth of the original.

If I just did my typical painted process, I don't think I would have gotten across any of the notions of that time period successfully. “Doing traditional pen and ink and having flat color was essential. ![]() “I knew I would have to change myself to really get it across in a way that maybe connects the dots a little bit more for the contemporary reader,” Ross tells IGN during an interview via Zoom. Ross created the art in Full Circle using pencil and ink and flat coloring to capture the retro Pop Art vibe he sought with his original story. That’s why it was a surprise to learn he changed up his art process for his newest project. Ross’ painted artwork in 1994's Marvels and 1996's Kingdom Come grounded Marvel and DC’s superheroes in hyper-stylish realism, and his distinctive style still makes him one of the most in-demand cover artists in comics. 14 Images The Evolution of Alex Ross' Art ![]() The lost prince by julie kagawa5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() He was the kind of guy that you want to get to know so you can break him out of his outwardly tough shell and find the gooey, soft center that you just know is hiding in there. I loved that the book was told from the male POV, and that said male was Ethan Chase. If anything, The Lost Prince has made me determined to go back and read the other books because if they're half as good as this one (and if the reviews are to be believed, they are), then I'm going to love them too! The Lost Prince was wildly enjoyable, and the world of the Fey has never been as enticing as it is in Ms. ![]() I was really hoping that I would be able to follow it since I hadn't read The Iron Fey books, and I wasn't disappointed. ![]() I've heard such great things about Julie Kagawa's Iron Fey series, even though for some strange reason I've never read it myself (don't hate me! I kept meaning to but never found the time), and I loved her book The Immortal Rules, so I jumped at the chance to read The Lost Prince. I actually reviewed this on November 1, 2012, and posted that review on Goodreads and LibraryThing, and also at Amazon, and have no idea why it's it not here. ![]() |
