![]() ![]() If you’re a fan of Game of Thrones, you will see many similarities in the feel and storytelling within the pages of Gathering Darkness. No one within the story is left unaffected by his or her surroundings, whether it be Cleo and her struggle to stay alive within the walls of vipers long enough to win back her throne, Lucia’s constant battle to control her magic instead of letting it control her, Magnus and his desire to get revenge on his father, the King of Blood and Jonas’s continued rebellion that seems to fail at every turn. ![]() It’s interesting to see the new relationships between each character unfold as they get closer and closer to finding the Kindred and also closer with one another. Gathering Darkness continues to explore the lives of Cleo, Magnus, Jonas and Lucia, presenting new problems and even larger struggles for each title character of the series. With intense action scenes, even more betrayal and a lovely amount of twists and turns, Gathering Darkness is a read that’s very hard to put down.ĭespite a slow start with the series’ first novel, Falling Kingdoms (which had me slightly nervous for any following novels), the action and adventure throughout Rebel Spring and Gathering Darkness left little doubt in my mind that Rhodes understands how to write a fantasy series involving magic and kingdoms without making it seem fantastical at all.

The painter Amos Roselli is in love with his life-long friend and model, the beautiful Daphne - and she with him - until one day she is discovered by another man, a powerful and wealthy industrialist. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Acta, apparently a somewhat later text, which includes an account of the interrogation of the martyrs and greatly abbreviates Perpetua’s description of her four visions while in prison, was accepted as the definitive version of the story from the end of antiquity until the later seventeenth century and used in the Christian liturgy it has now been eclipsed by scholarly excitement over the apparently unique female voice and startlingly effective imagery of Perpetua’s portion of the Passio. Although it has been the subject of much debate, the account of their time in prison and their execution in the arena, later known as the Passio sanctarum Perpetuae et Felicitatis, is now usually accepted as having been put together in Latin shortly after these events by an editor, or possibly editors, from two earlier documents, the prison diaries of Perpetua and her religious instructor Saturus, to which an introduction and a graphic description of the deaths have been added. ![]() Vibia Perpetua, a young Roman matron, was martyred in Carthage on March 7, 203, with a group of her fellow Christians. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie Preferences, as described in the Cookie Notice. ![]() Click ‘Customise Cookies’ to decline these cookies, make more detailed choices, or learn more.
