作者:(美)艾伦·塞伊

Author: Allen Say

 壮观的沙漠,一望无际的农场,喧嚣的城市……他爱这个全新国家的一切,在这里安家落户,却在女儿长大后想起了自己的故乡;他怀着乡愁回到祖国,重新看到故乡的群山和河流,却又开始思念异国他乡的一草一木……若干年后,“我”也踏上他走过的路,终于理解了这一切。《外公的旅程》是宛如一帧帧写满历史的老照片,艾伦·塞伊通过回忆外公在美日两国的生活,饱含深情地讲述了自己家庭的跨文化经验,不仅唤起对家族、民族、梦想的人类共通的情感,也在东西方两种文化之间搭起一座桥梁。

The magnificent desert, the endless reaches of the farm, the hustle and bustle of the city... Grandfather loves everything in this new country and thus, decided to settle here. However, when his daughter grows up and leaves, he starts to remember his hometown; he returns to see his homeland with nostalgia. The mountains and rivers began to miss the plants and trees in a foreign country again... A few years later, I also set foot on the road he had walked, and finally understood all of this. "Grandpa's Journey" is like old photos full of history. Through reminiscences of grandpa’s life in the United States and Japan, Alan Say speaks affectionately about his family’s cross-cultural experience. The common emotions that encapsulate nations and dreams also builds a bridge between Eastern and Western cultures.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.
