Eliza Victoria definitely has to write a sequel! The end part I think was a bit rushed (considering that the first two acts were perfectly paced) that I ended reading it with some thoughts in my mind left unexplained. I just wished that there is more exposition about what has really happened between the diwata and the humans. I'm really impressed how she seamlessly interspersed traditional folklore in the modern setting, sprinkling the world with diwata (fairies) dust, magic, and fairy wings. This is my first time reading a work written by Eliza Victoria.

My own interest in Civil War Florida was sparked by a trio of fascinating titles from the 1990s, all of which were published by University of Alabama Press. Really, how forgotten can something be if it can draw on a rich existing scholarship, a great deal of which is recent vintage? Anyway, that micro-rant aside, I am greatly looking forward to reading A Forgotten Front: Florida during the Civil War Era edited by Seth A. Authors are generally at the mercy of their publishers when it comes to titles, and I rather wish we could unofficially outlaw words like "unknown" or "forgotten" in them. ![]() 5/28/2023 0 Comments Dire Warning by Mary Rundle![]() ![]() Navigating the mine field this revelation brings, Jackson and Steel must figure out how to make their relationship work while dealing with forces determined to kill the Blackwood pack - and them.

Blanchard's extended solo has a directness, passion and elegance that seems entirely appropriate to the cause. ![]() However, the outstanding track is Over There, performed by trumpeter Terence Blanchard and composed by his bassist Derrick Hodges. Taken in the right spirit, this is an uplifting programme of music, from gospel to mainstream via revivalist exercises such as Wynton Marsalis's version of Dippermouth Blues and Marcus Roberts' spirited version of New Orleans Blues (Jelly Roll Morton), with big, Mingus-like bass from Rodney Jordan.
