![]() Mother-in-Law Rogan may bring the surviving and loyal family back to Texas and become the new head of House Ramirez, forcing Connor and Nevada to choose which house they want to represent. ![]() We have no clear indication (yet) that it’s mutable, but I do wonder if something is going to happen with Connor’s mother now that the young branch of Ramirez Family has thrown a Prime. ![]() Tremaine was never going to leave her house, but her fiancé was not a head of his house before he was murdered. But then there’s House Howling, where the second wife appears to have gone back to her family, House Collins (of the East Coast Collins) when the marriage fell apart, leaving the son to be raised a psychopath. In some cases, it’ll be a clear cut break, like when Ramirez Family married into House Rogan across the ocean. Presumably, there’s official notification or dispensation for the house affiliation of the married couple. With no contract for their marriage, it’s not clear that what house either Connor or Nevada are in. ![]() The first explanation everyone leapt at was that since Nevada isn’t in country, then Catalina is (Acting) Head of House Baylor. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() I do also think that Teo’s character arc, while a great one, really stretched out at the end in a bad way. I found Cielo less mature at the end than I did at the start. Though I did find the balance between the two of them shifted with Cielo rapidly holding less authority/importance as Teo’s role rose in prominence. I liked the addition of Cielo who brought a bit of romantic tension and mentorship. I found Teo to be an interesting character whose exploration into her gender identity and her role in life (and within her family) was interesting to follow. This was by no means an overly complicated or mind-blowing read, but it delivered well on what it promised. When you say fantasy + Mafia Italy inspired world, I’m there. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this enjoyable and easy-to-follow story with the added bonus of two gender fluid characters. ![]() ![]() ![]() The magical world Rallison creates is funny and interesting. He turns out to be a better friends than he thought too, to Charlotte. Hudson's a typical guy in many ways, but he does have a good heart. It was still clever and witty, but written for MG. This was not the kind of Janette Rallison story I'm used to-clever witty YA. Charlotte, who, along with her father, was banished from Logos, can help get rid of the curse-but only if he agrees to find the lost Princess of Logos in return. Not understanding the many rules of Logos, Hudson is quickly saddled with a troll curse. But be sure to look out for snarky unicorns, as they will see through those who are not pure of heart. ![]() Annika Truman has never considered genie as a career option, but maybe she should have. ![]() A fairy might ferry you across the river for the price of one memory. She’d go to the ends of the earthor at least Hollywoodto save her brother’s life. Hudson discovers that Logos is a land ruled by words, thoughts, and memories. That is, until the day he is whisked away to the magical land of Logos by a curious compass given to him by his off-beat neighbor, Charlotte. Hudson Brown stopped believing in magic long ago. ![]() ![]() In 1946 she received a doctorate in archeology based on a dissertation “Prehistoric Burial Rites in Lithuania.” After a few years of work at the universities in Heidelberg and Munich, in 1950 she emigrated with her husband and two daughters to the USA (her third daughter was born there). In 1944, fleeing the Red Army together with her husband and young daughter, she reached Vienna, and then Tubingen, where she continued her studies in archeology, ethnography and history of religion. ![]() ![]() Later she went on to study linguistics, archeology, ethnology and folklore in search of an answer to the ever present question: “What is my own culture?” She has gifts for the Goddess towels and woven materials are laid out for her, because she weaves the life, she is a spinner.” Still a secondary school student, fascinated by the folklore, beliefs and death rituals, she roamed the country collecting old traditional songs and stories. ![]() When a woman is giving birth she appears, and the grandmother is there organizing things. (…) The Goddess Laima was there, she could call at night and look through the windows. (…) I had quite a lot of direct connections to the Goddesses. ![]() This is how she wrote about her childhood in a country where many pagan beliefs persisted: “I was exposed to many things which were almost prehistoric. ![]() |
