Slow start okay finishBy Pacific BookwormBad guy killing a king and his family, infant child smuggled out, fast forward 16 years and that's where the story starts.I'll confess I skimmed through some parts of the story. There were so many different POVs that skimmed through the ones I thought weren't as relevant and I didn't miss much. The story lagged a bit in the beginning. But it picked up somewhat towards the end.Johanna was raised in a traveling performers troupe. It's fairly easy to figure out who she is in the beginning. A tragedy has befallen her family and they were cast out from the performers troupe to live on their own. While hunting she meets Rafi, the son of a Duke. A few things happen and rafi's family hire her to sing and tell stories at a couple of dinner parties. Rafi's dad has passed some time before so his mother is his most trusted advisor and she sees a resemblance in Johanna that she can't ignore. She was a close friend of the dead kings wife and Johanna looks too much like her to be ignored and she tasks her son with protecting Johanna.The bad guy that kills the king pays Rafi and his family a visit. And from there the story picks up a bit. You'll just have to read it to know more. The relationship between Johanna and Rafi isn't what kept me reading. It was everything happening outside of that. The Keepers', some magical race of people who live on the otherwise of a magical barrier tasked Johanna's family with keeping the wall intact through bloodlines. The magic is weakening because the rightful heir has been missing for 16 yrs and there was a war 300 yrs ago where some evil keepers wanted to be in total control. The wall was erected to protect humans from those keepers by keeping them on the other side. Some keepers could feel something wrong happening a group of them investigate and try to restore the heir to her throne. They know of Johanna's secret because they have been keeping tabs on herI kept reading because of the Keepers. And I know I'll continue reading because I want to learn more about them, not necessarily the romance between Rafi and Johanna. I also what to see what Johanna will do.It's not a great epic story but it wasn't a terrible one and the bit of interesting aspects it did have kept me reading till the end. It was entertaining enough.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Brilliant, Shippy FantasyBy Christina (A Reader of Fictions)The Storyspinner starts off a new fantasy series with a cool setting, delightful cast of characters, and some truly awesome magic.In the first pages, I was enraptured by the concept of storyspinning. Itrsquo;s storytelling, only more vibrant, adding in the use of illustrations drawn in dust thrown into the air. How do they manage to draw pictures in floating dust? I canrsquo;t tell you, but come on itrsquo;s a fantasy and thatrsquo;s so cool.The book opens with Johannarsquo;s happy family. Theyrsquo;re all performers. Her fatherrsquo;s best known as an acrobat, her mother for singing, Johanna for storysinging, and her three brothers are heading for careers as acrobats too. Setting the tone for the coming story, the novel opens with pain. A happy family in fantasy basically necessitates death. Womp womp. The Storyspinner starts out as pretty badass fantasy and continues on in that vein. If you like your fantasy dark, get excited.There are five POV characters in The Storyspinners: Johanna, Jacareacute;, Rafi, Leatilde;o, and Pira. I will warn you that the narrative jumps around a lot. The individual chapters donrsquo;t tend to last too long and a number are just two pages. Since the narrative is in third person limited, though, therersquo;s no issue keeping the characters straight. I actually really liked all the different POV characters and found them pretty close to equally interesting, so this worked really well for me. Not only that, but there are a lot of very strong female characters in The Storyspinners, which is something I keep an eye out for in fantasy.The plot follows relatively familiar lines in this first volume. Therersquo;s a missing princess, whose identity probably will not surprise you, and an incredibly evil bad guy. There wasnrsquo;t too much that really caught me off guard. That said, I think itrsquo;s all done well and I was really into the story at all points. Irsquo;ll definitely hope for increased complexities in motivations and such as the series continues, but I think The Storyspinners is a great start.Plus, the ships are off to glorious starts. There are two and I ship them both very hard. You know me. Irsquo;m basically sold at this point. One of them is hate to love and the other one is definitely against the will of the two people having serious lustful feelings for one another. There are a couple of great kiss scenes too. I NEED MORE OF THIS.What Irsquo;m really torn on is the world building. I love the concept of the Keepersrsquo; essencia and their elemental powers. Irsquo;m pretty much always on board for that. The setting appears to be in some fantasy version of South America; itrsquo;s either mostly or entirely set in Brazil. I canrsquo;t say for sure, though, because I find some of the world building really confusing. The best example is in the character names. Theyrsquo;re mostly Portuguese, but then there are a handful of English names thrown in, like Johannarsquo;s family.The Storyspinners is a captivating fantasy debut and I can tell you right now that I will be reading book two when it comes out in eight million years. Maybe reading it so early wasnrsquo;t such a brilliant idea after all.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Brilliant debut with a fresh new heroineBy Britt @ Please feed the BookwormMy ThoughtsI am so very ashamed of myself to admit that I judged this book by it's cover. I thought "oh no here comes another Katniss wanna be with a bow and arrow." Yawn. Then, I did the smart thing and read the blurb and it offered me a fantasy realm with magical warriors and court politics! At this point I began obsessively stalking requesting this on Edelweiss. After 5 denials and some shameless begging I finally got approved for this and literally did back flips (well not literally but my in my mind I did). It is such an amazing feeling when a book you are over the moon already for manages to exceed your expectations. The Storyspinner blew me out of the water!The story follows Johanna and her family who are a troupe of traveling performers. That's right acrobatics and tight ropes, even singing, but this family has an even more specialized skill. It is called Storyspinning, the art of telling a story while using glamour cues from the audience to make everyone fall under it's spell. I loved that there was a fresh set of skills given to this family. So often they are thieves or something that has been many time before. Sure, it does end up being a book about a lost princess but Johanna and her family have so much talent beyond that. I found it to be a nice niche.The plot picks up with Johanna's father, Arlo, falling during an act to his demise. This sets off a chain of events that are told as two separate story lines until they culminate finally pick up as one plot. For those of you who have read A Song Of Ice and Fire, it was very reminiscent of that type of sequence for me. Things happened very often at the same time just in different parts of the world. Wallace also had this really unique way of tying the plot lines together with subsequent context clues. The pacing was a bit slower than usual but that was for the simple fact that there was so many P.O.V's to put into place (hence my being reminded of ASOIaF). The ground work was promperly laid for each and everyone of them too. I would happy to follow any of them had Becky decided to write them out separetly. The narration was done beautifully in the 3rd person and it gave me the background I needed to become truly invested in each of the characters. This sold the book since I wasn't to thrilled with the world itself. I know the history was there and it was shown more as time went on but, it took a good 1/3 of the book before I really got a grasp on it.

  • This Generation a Shifter Will Arise, Hidden Amongst the Lost and Lies
    “This generation a Shifter will arise, Hidden amongst the lost and lies. A great many will see The life that could be. The universe will shake; The greatest among us will quake. The towers will fall. The ruled will rule all.” Douglas and Angelia Pershing Prologue Rian growled when a small group of Shifters entered The Council chamber following Navin and Lena. Lena sauntered in, her hips swaying dangerously from side to side. Other than Rian, all eyes in the room were on her. Her long auburn hair was undulating behind her in a tight ponytail. Her green eyes were bright and cold. Her smirk revealed straight white teeth, poised and ready for the kill. “My Lord,” Lena said in her throaty alto. She bowed then, carefully positioning her body in the most flattering way. The new Seer on The Council, a small mousy man with flat brown eyes and little ability to see anything, gulped audibly as he watched Lena. “I am not a feudal lord,” Rian snapped at Lena. “Of course not,” Lena said, rising slowly, allowing the eyes in the room to linger on her lithe body. “You are my god.” Rian’s eyes flicked to her, somehow his copper eyes were both irritated and pleased. He then returned them to the piece of Shifter trash that had entered the room with her. His copper eyes flashed red for a brief moment, appearing more vibrant and cruel than any eyes before. “Navin,” he growled. It was almost as though when Rian ordered the deaths of the Shifter Young nearly 1 thirteen years ago, he had become less than human.

  • Danny the Champion of the World
    Roald Dahl Danny the Champion of the World 1 The Filling-station When I was four months old, my mother died suddenly and my father was left to look after me all by himself. This is how I looked at the time. I had no brothers or sisters. So all through my boyhood, from the age of four months onward, there were just the two of us, my father and me. We lived in an old gipsy caravan behind a filling-station. My father owned the filling-station and the caravan and a small field behind, but that was about all he owned in the world. It was a very small filling-station on a small country road surrounded by fields and woody hills. While I was still a baby, my father washed me and fed me and changed my nappies and did all the millions of other things a mother normally does for her child. That is not an easy task for a man, especially when he has to earn his living at the same time by repairing motor-car engines and serving customers with petrol. But my father didn’t seem to mind. I think that all the love he had felt for my mother when she was alive he now lavished upon me. During my early years, I never had a moment’s unhappiness or illness and here I am on my fifth birthday. I was now a scruffy little boy as you can see, with grease and oil all over me, but that was because I spent all day in the workshop helping my father with the cars.

  • A Comprehensive Mental Health Crisis Plan Presented by Williamsville High School Keepers Club a Chapter of Jared’S Keepers Foundation, Inc
    A Comprehensive Mental Health Crisis Plan Presented by Williamsville High School Keepers Club A chapter of Jared’s Keepers Foundation, Inc We the students at Williamsville High School, in cooperation with the faculty and staff, proudly present to the Williamsville School Board the following proposal to assist and support the growing needs of the students of our district. We have learned many valuable lessons in 2020 that must be addressed for a better future. This plan will ensure better communications in times of tragedy, allow for an aggressive approach to prevention, give better direction to faculty and staff while giving students stability in knowing what to expect, allow needed support in the aftermath and provide equal recognition to all who are lost. This plan focuses on preventing teen self-harming, suicide attempts and suicide completions. Our society has long ignored the mental health of its people that results in suicides, which are the leading cause of death among people ages 9-25, according to the World Health Organization. We have felt for too long that we were immune from this issue for many reasons. However, the recent losses of our peers have shown us we can no longer be silent and must take a stand and change the way we think and act towards mental health. According to the CDC, “Suicide is a critical public health problem in the United States. Despite national, state, and local efforts to reduce suicide, rates continue to increase. A forward-looking effort, built upon new evidence and past accomplishments, is needed to reduce suicide and suicide attempts.” The most common, yet most stigmatized, mental health issue is depression experienced by students due to a failing grade or failure to perform to standards of a sport or activity.

The posse comitatus can be traced back at least as far as the reign of Alfred the Great in ninth- century England. The institution thrives today in the United States; a study of Colorado finds many county sheriffs have active posses. Like the law of the posse comitatus, the law of the office of sheriff has been remarkably stable for over a millennium.
