Despite my best intentions, I seemed to spend more time adding to my TBR pile last year than actually reading any of the books on it. This was particularly true of series reads, where there were just too many literary commitments to chose from. So, for 2013, I've decided to target those series with upcoming instalments during the first half of the year.
First up is the The Demon Cycle by Peter V. Brett.
While my tastes in fantasy generally run more towards epic than heroic, everything I'd heard about The Warded Man intrigued me. It almost sounded post-apocalyptic, with its demons rising after night, villagers trapped behind their own wards, and a lost history of fighting back. I was a bit wary of the whole coming-of-age element but, again, I'd read enough reviews to be assured that it was handled quickly and well, with the main characters developing and maturing significantly over the course of the novel.
Once I settled on it for my first series read of the year, I found myself hooked right from the first chapter. Brett's writing style is crisp and efficient, but also elegant in its own way. There's a voice there that pulled me in and invited me to take a seat behind the warded door and listen to a story. More than that, there was a depth of emotion to the telling, surprising me with how quickly I found myself invested in the fate of this new world, and sincerely concerned about the demonic threat presented by the corelings.
It was clearly early on, even without reading the cover blurbs for the rest of the series, that Arlen was destined to be the hero of the tale. Here is a boy who is bold, brave, and defiant to the dangers around him, one who cannot understand why humanity is content to hide away each night, rather than confront the demons. He is still a child, however, innocent and vulnerable to the cruelties of the world. I quite liked the way Brett built up his character, establishing both his motives and his potential for the future.
While I was less clear on how they'd fit into the overall story arc, Leesha and Rojer immediately stood out as characters worthy of a place in the telling. In each case, they're as much defined by the people around them as by themselves, but Brett does a great job of giving all his characters a personality and a backstory, creating a necessary sense of community. There were times where I feared Leesha might prove to be too stubborn or obstinate, falling on the exasperating side of independent, and that Rojer might prove to be too damaged by his past, falling on the sword of self-pity, but their development within this first volume was entirely satisfying.
On the surface, the settings of the tale are largely generic, consisting of medieval type villages, towns, castles, and desert fortresses, but they're detailed enough to take shape in the reader's eye. We get a hint of the political landscape, of class wars within the cities, and of pragmatic racism in the desert. Beneath the surface, however, is where the tale really comes alive, with significant potential for the rest of the series. Arlen's delving into the depths of ancient ruins, raiding the tombs for weapons and wards, was a very nice touch, the elaborate sewer-like pathways for trapping corelings in the desert was a great set-piece, and the tantalizing hint of what might exist within the core itself certainly has me intrigued.
If I were to have one complaint about this first volume, it's that going into the last part of the novel the story really seems to jump in terms of timing and tone. It almost felt as if I were reading two different books. It may not have been so noticeable had the jump come at the halfway mark, but that late in the story it almost felt as if Brett were impatient to move on. Regardless, I liked the new direction he took in the final chapters, resolving some elements of the story, moving others ahead, and setting up some new elements at the same time. It was one of the more exciting, climactic wrap-ups to a story I've read in quite some time, with all the characters contributing to an escalation that felt natural and welcome, as opposed to being forced upon the story. More than that, where so many other reads falter in the finale, it lived up to the expectations of the story before it.
Overall, I was certainly impressed. I can't think of any point where the story lagged, and there's no character or plot element that stands out as being unnecessary or mishandled. The magic of the wards is simple, but effective, and I like the idea of so many being lost or held secret. As for the battle scenes, they are very well done - action-packed, frantic, imaginative, but grounded in plausibility (even when magic is involved). As a self-contained story, this first volume works well, and the final scenes are perfect for teasing the next volume, without negating the end of the first. With an ARC of The Daylight War awaiting, I will definitely be moving onto The Desert Spear next.

The Warded Man by Peter V. Brett (REVIEW)
4 comments:
Man I was really on this fence with this one. O weak I liked book 1 but I couldn't get passed book 2. It was just too young adult feeling for me... Plus all of the "core" references started to bother me.ReplyDelete
This is one of my favorite series' at the moment. I don't know what it is exactly, but it pushes all the right buttons for me.ReplyDelete
I also plan to tackle The Demon Cycle this year. Great review, you definitely pushed this book even more up my tbr. :)ReplyDelete
I also prefer epic to heroic fantasy, BobReplyDelete

A large, antique-looking key is removed from a small velvet bag and placed on the magicians out stretched palm. With nary a movement or word from the wonder worker, the key mysteriously rolls over on command! There are no threads, wires or other attachments to the key. The key is then placed under a handkerchief or napkin (not supplied) where it continues to move and rise under the cloth. The key is taken from the handkerchief and waved up and down as it appears to bend and straighten between the magician's fingers eventually reaching a permanently bent form. Complete examination of the key is allowed at any point during the routine.

Israeli Couscous: Everything but the Kitchen Sink
Daylight savings time and fourth quarter madness at work has put me in a perpetual state of exhaustion. So while I usually enjoy a bit of a challenge in the kitchen, this week I needed the cooking equivalent of a gimme. Just to convey my state of mind, I briefly contemplated purchasing a box of frozen knishes and calling it a blog post. In the end, however, I settled on a recipe for Israeli couscous.
Israeli couscous, which is bigger and rounder than regular couscous, is a quick and easy side dish. This particular recipe included quite an array of ingredients that surprisingly worked when thrown together. My favorite part of this recipe was that it called for both rosemary and thyme, which provided a somewhat decent reason to sing Simon and Garfunkel in the spice aisle. I tweaked the recipe a bit after reading online reviews that the vinaigrette was too strong and salty; I cut down the apple cider vinegar and salt by more than half. I also would recommend reducing the herbs, which ended up overpowering the dish.
So how does the whole experience rank? On a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being "bad" and 5 being "good":
Prep time: 5
Prep time was limited to toasting the almonds and chopping up some ingredients.
Overall ease: 5
I was beginning to think cooking Jewish food always requires spending an entire day in the kitchen. This recipe dispelled all such thoughts and provided a simple and quick dish I'm sure to try again. Israeli couscous won me over and may become a pantry staple.
Cook time: 5
Eight minutes of simmering the couscous and the meal was done! Just be vigilant about watching the pot in the final minutes to make sure the couscous pearls don't dry out.
Cost: 1
These ingredients added up to more than $30, which was a lot to spend on a meatless side dish.
Taste: 4
I was a little apprehensive about how many ingredients this recipe called for, but somehow all the flavors worked. The tangy apples and sweet cranberries were especially tasty. I can't give this recipe a 5 because the herbs were too strong, especially the rosemary. The next time I make this dish I will definitely cut down on the rosemary, parsley, and thyme.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups Israeli couscous (or barley or orzo)
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1 medium green apple, diced
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted, see note below
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
For the couscous: In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil on medium-high heat. Add the couscous and cook, stirring occasionally until slightly browned and aromatic, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 to12 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated. Transfer the cooked couscous to a large bowl and set aside to cool. Add the parsley, rosemary, thyme, apple, dried cranberries, and almonds.
For the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil until smooth. Pour the vinaigrette over the couscous and toss to coat evenly.
Cook's Note: To toast the almonds, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely before using.

14:00 - STAFF EVENT - WORKSHOP: Design Augmented Reality Experiences Using Aurasma : Event for mLearning Month - September 2017
More Information
Aurasma is an augmented reality platform which could potentially change the way you interact with the real world. Recent UWA TechNode surveys at UWA indicate that most students have a mobile device. Given this, Aurasma opens up opportunities in an instructional and educational manner, as the need for more detailed information exists in a physical space or document where a mobile device with wifi is available. For example, once pointed at printed documents, static physical places, or objects with augmented markers, mobile devices can discover information such as videos, animations, weblinks or 3D objects that are woven into the fabric of the real world by using Aurasma.
This hands-on workshop will take 45 minutes. You will get the opportunity to experience augmented reality examples as a learner using the Aurasma App and also create a basic AR experience using the Aurasma App. We will also demonstrate the Basic Free Aurasma Studio platform that enables you to create more complex auras with more functionality.
Register for this event via the Eventbrite link listed below.
18:00 - PUBLIC LECTURE - Coping with Grief and Loss: ancient and modern perspectives
More Information
A public lecture by Professor Han Baltussen, the Walter Watson Hughes Professor of Classics, University of Adelaide and UWA Institute of Advanced Studies Visiting Fellow.
In this lecture Professor Baltussen will explore the rich repertoire of grief experiences from antiquity in an attempt to understand how humans have coped with loss and bereavement since the beginnings of Western literature.
If grief is a universal marker of humanity, these ancient experiences should resonate with us today. Given the renewed interest in the process of mourning, privately and publicly, it is also worthwhile considering whether the ancient coping strategies have any lessons to offer, in particular through the power of words (written or spoken). Modern bereavement advice tends to allow for a great variety of approaches, from rational evaluation to creative expression. Professor Baltussen will ask whether ancient grief practices could contribute anything to this emerging area of the healing arts.

13:00 - PUBLIC TALK - Is it OK to remove statues? : A 'Talking Allowed' event
More Information
With Associate Professor Clarissa Ball, Discipline Chair, History of Art, UWA School of Design, Director, UWA Institute of Advanced Studies.
The recent removal of Confederate statues in the United States has resulted in extraordinary acts of violence, heightened racial tensions and death. Debate continues to rage about whether or not the removal of public statues is akin to erasing the past and changing history, as President Trump put it. Is Trump right, or is the truth far more complex?
Closer to home, debate is mounting about Australias colonial monuments. Stan Grants statement that the inscription on the statue of James Cook in Sydneys Hyde Park maintains a damaging myth has been met with astonishing claims. One commentator has gone so far as to liken Grants questioning of the statues plaque and its doctrine of discovery to the cultural destruction of the Taliban Left.
Join us for this Talking Allowed to consider what it is about statues that render them the focus of struggle and to explore some of the complexities that surround their removal or modification.
Talking Allowed is a new series of presentations offered by the UWA Institute of Advanced Studies and the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery.
On the second Tuesday of every month, a UWA academic will give a short presentation on a topic of current relevance to the arts and culture before inviting the audience to participate in discussion and debate.
Talking Allowed is designed to be thought-provoking, challenging, stimulating and engaging. Come along and join the dialogue on matters that are of great importance to our society.

18:00 - PUBLIC LECTURE - Luthers Reformation at 500: Luther and the Devil : This is an Institute of Advanced Studies and Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies series of lectures.
More Information
If the Devil says to you Do not drink, you should reply to him On this occasion I shall drink and what is more, I shall drink a generous amount. (Martin Luther). To Martin Luther and most of his contemporaries the devil was a theological and material reality to be confronted every day and by everybody. This paper will trace Luthers view of the Devil and the supernatural and place it in the context of the world views of his time.
Jacqueline Van Gent is a Professor of History and Chief Investigator ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions, 1100-1800. Her work explores (i) emotions, conversions and missions, (ii) affective strategies of early modern Europeans in the acquisition, exchange and display of colonial objects, and (iii) the role of emotions in early ethnographic texts and collections. Her most recent publication with Professor Susan Broomhall is Dynastic Colonialism: Gender, Materiality and the Early Modern House of Orange-Nassau (Routledge, 2016).
About this Series
On the 500th anniversary of the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, this UWA Institute of Advanced Studies Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies Lecture Series reconsiders the legacy of Martin Luther, who in 1517 published Ninety-Five Theses criticising the Churchs sale of indulgences. From diverse historical perspectives, UWA researchers tackle key issues regarding Luthers life, his thought, and his significance for the momentous changes that Europe underwent during his lifetime.
19:00 - EVENT - Friends of the Library UWA Library Speaker : No taxation without representation: Discontent in early Perth
More Information
About the talk
No one likes being taxed, but the first settlers of the Swan River Colony felt that taxation was doubly unfair. Not only had they moved to the other side of the globe to avoid such a heavy burden in the motherland, they werent yet making any money in their new ventures.
But the early government was broke, and governments have never been backward in demanding cash from their citizens. As a result, some settlers pointed to the United States and warned that either the new taxes had to go or they would demand proper representation in the Legislative Council. Failing to do either of these things, it was darkly hinted, would result in revolution.
This talk examines the perilous financial situation in early Perth, the lack of real cash, and the unsuccessful attempt to found a local bank to provide paper money. When there arent enough coins to go around, things get very difficult indeed, and the Swan River Colony found this out the hard way.
Why did this come about? How did the government and the settlers respond? And why wasnt there a revolution leading to an independent and fully democratic Western Australia? Just some of the questions which can be answered through a light-hearted look at the economic history of our State.
About the Speaker
After studying history at Cambridge University, Eddie drifted around a number of jobs including archaeologist, journalist and lecturer. Eventually he tried to settle into being a permanent student in London, before marrying a lass from Donnybrook and relocating to WA. He first worked for the State Heritage Office before deciding to branch out as an independent historical consultant, mainly so he didnt have to get dressed so early in the morning.
Eddie finds Perths history an untapped source of material, with so many untold stories. He enjoys digging through the archives for the scandalous, the quirky, and those tales overlooked by more conventional history books. These unconventional stories are usually told through his blog, dodgyperth.com, but Eddie likes to slip the occasional one into a more orthodox heritage report.

11:00 - SEMINAR - Negotiating the Religious and the Secular in Indonesia: The Development of Contemporary Pesantren Leadership Auliya Ridwan
More Information
A pesantren is a type of indigenous Islamic boarding school common across Indonesia. Traditionally, the main objectives of pesantren were to preserve religious teaching over generations as well as to cultivate morality within their students or disciples. Pesantren, which are commonly hierarchical, are characterized by top-down decision-making and veneration of the leaders, orthodox teachers called kiai. The continuation of pesantren depends on the kiais leadership. Globalization and modernization have obliged some kiai to innovate and incorporate modern education into their pesantren. While the demand for moral and religious teachings is increasing as a result of Islamization, pesantren are often criticized for not providing employment skills and social problem-solving capacities among their students. This challenges contemporary kiai to integrate modern schooling approaches into pesantren. This presentation introduces my doctoral research, which focuses on the dynamics of kiai leadership in negotiating pesantren tradition and social pressure for innovation by comparing with a traditional pesantren with two pesantren famous for their innovative and socially useful training. The traditional pesantren preserves over a hundred years of tradition and refuses any support from the government. By contrast, the first innovative pesantren focuses on leadership development, economic empowerment, and rehabilitation of criminals. The second innovative pesantren teaches concern for the environment, womens empowerment, and interfaith tolerance. This research will addresses two key questions: how have innovative pesantren changed, and how have kiai in innovative pesantren developed their ideas? This study uses nine months of ethnographic fieldwork in the three pesantren. The analysis will work inductively within a case study framework.
14:30 - SEMINAR - The use of Indigenous knowledge for climate change adaptation in agriculture: A case study of the Tharu in Western Nepal / PARTICIPATORY GOVERNANCE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT IN INDONESIA: A STUDY OF A NEW VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE
More Information
Indigenous knowledge is an important basis for farming and survival in many parts of the world, particularly in Indigenous communities of the developing world. Indigenous knowledge and practices have a dual role in dealing with the problems of climate change. First, they help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture (i.e. climate mitigation) and, second, they prepare people to adjust to the impacts of climate change (i.e. adaptation). The Tharu, an Indigenous people in Nepal, have been largely dependent upon agriculture for centuries. Their farming system is still traditional and subsistence-oriented, whilst gradually being influenced by modern agriculture. There is a knowledge gap in regard to Indigenous knowledge among the Tharu regarding climate change. Therefore, the central question of this study is: how do Indigenous knowledge and practices contribute to resilience in agriculture? The study will also assess the vulnerability of the Tharu to climate impacts and their adaptation strategies to reduce associated risks, particularly in agriculture. Fieldwork will be carried out in two contrasting hazard-prone villages, subject to periodic floods and droughts respectively, in Bardiya district of Western Nepal. The study will use various participatory tools to collect ethnographic information supported by quantitative data collected by administering a household survey. This study will identify adaptation practices, their effectiveness and pathways to resilient agriculture that can be used to improve the livelihoods of the local farmers such as the Tharu.
Biography Buddhi Chaudhary is a development worker who has worked both for government and NGOs in Nepal since 2000. Before starting his PhD at UWA, Buddhi was a Humphrey Fellow at UC Davis. He believes in encouraging the heart, leading to strength and horizontal management.
PARTICIPATORY GOVERNANCE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT IN INDONESIA: A STUDY OF A NEW VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE This research explores the institutionalisation of participatory governance within the state bureaucracy in Indonesia. In particular, this study will evaluate the extent to which the Village Law No. 6/2014 and its policy derivatives (government regulations, ministerial regulations, and district regulations) have improved the quality of governance and the livelihoods of the poor in several villages in District Banyumas (Central Java) and Ngada (Eastern Nusa Tenggara). This research is important because according to previous studies, institutionalization of participatory governance principles into the state bureaucracy is almost impossible as it goes against the interest of politicians, capitalists and bureaucrats, and even some of the villagers themselves. What is more, the participatory approach is implemented in a time when the Indonesian state leans toward a somewhat strong state; a contrast that for some people may look contradictory. This study will be a qualitative research project that uses interviews, observation, and document and policy analysis as data collection methods. Additional secondary data will also be collected from such sources as the World Bank and analysed with basic statistical methods. Bio: Muhammad Syukri is Social Researcher at The SMERU Research Institute, in Jakarta, Indonesia. He has an educational background in law (Bachelor) and sociology (Master). Before joining the PhD program at UWA, he did several studies related to village governance, participatory development, livelihood, and poverty reduction.

18:00 - PUBLIC TALK - Resource Extraction versus Environmental Protection: oil sands and caribou in Canada : 2017 Rio Tinto Lecture
More Information
A public lecture by Professor Vic Adamowicz, Vice Dean, Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences, and Professor, Department of Resource Economics and Environmental Sociology, University of Alberta.
This case study will illustrate some of the challenges of endangered species recovery, focussing on caribou in Alberta, Canada, and the threats they face from the oil sands industry.
In any jurisdiction involved in resource extraction there are concerns about the environmental impacts of the extractive activities, including impacts on natural systems, human health, scenery, recreational enjoyment, and other ecosystem services. Caribou have been listed as threatened in Canada for sometime, but strategies for their protection are complex and could have significant impacts on forestry and energy sectors. Issues of the development of recovery goals, the economic costs and benefits of caribou recovery, the importance of the timing of recovery, and the policy options that can help achieve recovery at least cost, will be addressed.
Economic analysis has been used to identify options and strategies for reducing adverse impacts and reducing the requirement for costly recovery to maintain the species.
The Rio Tinto Lecture at UWA is part of the Rio Tinto-UWA Education Partnership, established in 2013.
This event is sponsored by Rio Tinto, UWA Faculty of Science, and the UWA Institute of Advanced Studies.

13:00 - EVENT - The Death of this Norm is Greatly Exaggerated
More Information
This paper argues that the literature on norm death is both empirically and theoretically flawed. This literature has argued that a wide range of norms, such as the norm against torture, the norm requiring declarations of war, the norm against mercenary use, and the norm against unrestricted submarine warfare, are either dead or under significant challenge. The literature argues that the cause of norm death is widespread violation. We argue, in contrast, that these norms are not dead, and that it is more useful to think of norm obsolescence, modification, and replacement. We argue that norm death is unlikely because norms are surprisingly resilient, because they have long life-spans; because implementation makes them hard to alter; and because they are embedded in in wider complexes of norms.

16:00 - PUBLIC TALK - History Post-Brexit: thinking through Britain, Europe and Empire
More Information
A public lecture by Tony Ballantyne, Professor of History and Pro-Vice Chancellor Humanities at the University of Otago, and Co-Director of the Centre for Research on Colonial Culture.
The links between British empire building and its shifting relationships with Europe have frequently been overlooked by historians, in part because they have been seen as two fundamentally distinct fields of inquiry.
Using the debates around Brexit as it departure point, this talk explores some of the key connections between the project of empire building and Britains engagements with Europe, tracing some key points of convergence from the 1760s on. But it will also explore the shifting terrain of recent historiography, tracing the ways in which Europe and empire have figured within British historical writing since the 1970s and how those relationships have also figured in important work from the former settler colonies.

Kids respect mothers who are in control (or at least act like we are!)
The big world is a scary place even for kids who think they know all the answers. Most of the resistance to authority, the actions that a parent deems difficult, are fear-based reactions that the child has designed to create his own security. The child is playacting that he has control because he is convincing himself that this is the only way he can cope.
In contrast, a kid who sees Mom regularly stepping up to handle situations, also relaxes and lets down his guard and the defensive arguing/resistance is not necessary. Children want to know that MOM is in charge, that she will take care of things and when MOm consistently handles problems the trust increases as does the respect and the compliance.

Optimize your processes – batch import your publications
Like any other business activity, ebook distribution can also benefit from a search for the best ways to save time and effort while maximizing impact. Process optimization saves you time that you can spend on other activities that are of greater value to your organization. Here's an example of optimization made possible by Cantook.
If the files you wish to place on Cantook are very large, or you would like to automate your normal and ebook digital workflows, you may want to use a more powerful set of tools than those available directly on the user interface to import files one at a time or in batches. In fact, you can access an option that allows you to batch import files (or metadata) into an FTP server, without logging on through the interface.
Here's how it works.
First of all, as a Cantook user, you need an identifier and a password for the FTP account. You can get these by contacting our team.
Next, prepare your archive as you would for a batch import via the interface. Import it into your FTP account… and that's it! In the next little while (60 minutes at most), Cantook will detect the file and start the import.
You can check the status of your import in the Tasks section of your user account, within the platform. You can also receive an email confirmation once the import is complete. This can be done in one of two ways:
- in ONIX 3: Use the Sender/EmailAddress tag
- in ONIX 2.1: Use the FromEmail tag

We are AJ and Mel, and obviously we have a mad love for reading. We met on Goodreads and discovered that we share a mutual obsession for reading romance books of all kinds, and quickly became great friends as we gushed over wonderfully emotive stories, vented over angsty plotlines, and fell in love over and over again with some truly amazingly reads.
This blog is an undertaking of love for us, an opportunity to share our passion for all things books and to revel in the escapism of reading.
"Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book." – Author Unknown
Here's a little bit about us:
- I live Australia and met some of my best friends in the world through my love of reading and the wonder that is Goodreads, though I've never met any of them in person… one day!
- I am the proud mama of two amazing kids (nine-year-old twins) who constantly berate me for my ever-growing paperback collection. "Oh look, Mum's got more books in the mail, what a surprise!"
- Apart from reading, I love travel, live music, action movies and Mexican food.
- I live in the USA and just recently in the past few years have become obsessed with reading. I was amazed to discover the world of booklovers and have met wonderful people through my love for reading.
- I am a mom to three young boys who keep me busy all day long, however, I still manage to squeeze in reading time in the evenings and always find a spare minute or two to read during the day.
- I love my Kindle and take it everywhere! I also love traveling and trying new cuisines. Like AJ, I love Mexican food and eat it at least once a week!
"There are no faster or firmer friendships than those formed between people who love the same books." – Irving Stone
Our Ratings
We follow a 'rating out of 5' system. However, we reserve the right to rate a book 6 stars in the event of finding 'that' book – you know, the one that keeps you up all hours of the night, takes your breath away, makes you feel EVERYTHING, and takes weeks to get over. The holy grail of reading.
Our ratings can be interpreted as folows:
