From "Food for Thought" by James R. Watson http://www.niva.com/original/writblok/fall97/a-origin.htm How long had he been standing there? "Don't you have something better to do than follow me around?" Joost asked.

I’m only, like, 17% joking. I have no idea how to review this book. I barely even knew how to read this book, due to the fact that it was so devastatingly cool and exciting and unique and addictive that it almost made me illiterate. The younger crows, who were born after the initial experiment, also scolded the “caveman.” The grudge had been passed on. Mind your manners around crows. Because if you mistreat them, they won’t forget you and neither will their friends—or the next generation. 9. New Caledonian crows make and use tools. Definitely worth the read. Now if only she would stop torturing us with these intense cliffhangers that she is known for. Hopefully she doesn't leave us hanging for long and this next book comes out soon. I am fine, thank you,” said the young lady, “but I fear Dr. Doyle is not well. Is there somewhere he could rest until we reach London?”This is a much needed balm for the soul in these troubled times. This peaceful plea reminds us of the healing power of nature and the cycle of life and death. Renkl helps us to learn to see the creatures and plants around us, reminds us that imperfection is better than perfection, and gently urges us not just to see the natural world but to do what we can to protect it. The boy's lower lip quivered, but he put out his arm. The guard cut him once more. Then he placed a small wax paper envelope on the table in front of Anya.

Jesper is witty and an absolute delight to get a POV chapter from, but he's also incredibly sympathetic as a former farm boy who fell from grace. He likes living on the edge, and he's aware of the pain his own actions have caused him, and he's trying to work through it. Sight is arguably the most important of a bird’s senses, with it being vital for finding food, avoiding predators, flying safely, and seeking a mate. She was pretty enough (and no doubt wealthy enough) that this puzzled her for a moment, but then her face relaxed into a more genuine smile. “I see,” she said. “You are a preux chevalier.” The Dregs are such an amazing squad all together. Their banter owns my heart. Jesper and Inej especially have one of my favorite friendship dynamics of all time; their banter and their genuine trust in each other and their lowkey joking about their mutual crush on Kaz. Inej and Nina stand out as well; extra credit for passing the bechdel test with flying colors.But there is a lil thing I mentioned in there that I need to talk more about. And it’s not my potential kleptomania. (Although maybe I should talk more about that too. In a different format.) Let's start with characters. All of them are in their teen which makes little sense. They don't behave like teens (mostly) nor does their age fit the story.

look, i know it's completely unreasonable to demand the second part of a series when the first part isn't even out for another five months, but i'm not in the business of being reasonable. i want it. now. Apart from their famous caw-caw, crows emit other sounds. Each one sends out a different message; cawing can be used as a territorial warning or a way for crows to signal their location to relatives.

Debunking Myths About Crows

Another surprising attribute is this species’ bill. Unlike virtually all other birds, the New Caledonian crow has a bill that does not curve downwards. For years, the quirk went unexplained, but scientists now think that their unique beak evolved to help it grasp tools more easily, as well as to better see what the tool is doing. Looking directly at something is not always the best way to see it. Look straight at a dim star and it disappears. If you look down the centre of your train carriage and become aware of the landscape outside the windows, you can see it better, not the details but the shape and colour, the way the hills roll and the fields shift shape as you pass. You can move an object in your hands to understand its shape but you must pass through a landscape to see it properly. So listen swords cross, the sex is pretty hot, but all 3 MC LIs are stupid as hell and they don’t get any smarter by the end of this book and now in the 2nd one I’ll have to deal with more dumbness. So 😒😒 good but aggravating. Also, the dubious consent is EXTRA dubious 😬 so beware because it’s not for everyone.

Fast-paced and unpredictable. . . . A unique world complete with monsters, magic, danger, romance, corruption, and extravagance.” — School Library Journal, starred review (Shadow and Bone)Aiden, Ezra and Killian. Big bad alpha males. They work hard and play even harder. Aiden is the true leader of the bunch and it shows during this book. He has a difficult time not jumping to conclusions and lashing out in the most harshest of ways. I wanted to throat punch him many times. I still feel mostly hate for his cruel ass. Seriously, he will bring out some of the worst parts of your personality. Trust me lol. For a moment there was silence. Then Joost was on his feet with everyone else, reaching for his rifle. Hoede and the captain shouted at the same time.
