![]() ![]() It’s fun stuff, though it’s almost entirely unconnected from the grand ‘stop the end of the universe’ narrative. Meanwhile there’s a Kingdom civil war going on, with Prince Hal, his brothers, Ty Hawkins and Jimmy the Hand III fighting to ensure the succession goes as planned. Pug get to meet his old teacher Kulgan again Nakor gets Prince Borric – it’s another throwback to the series’ past, and helps add to the love-letter aspect of this whole trilogy and particularly this book. But as the ‘lessons’ each magician learns are taught by characters from the series’ past, I can’t help but enjoy this bit. On an objective level, this whole arc takes up far too much space and could – and should – have been taken care of much earlier in the trilogy. Pug, Miranda, Nakor and Magnus, having been whisked away to a higher plane of existence, spent some time finally ‘learning’ what the stakes of this final confrontation are – unsurprisingly, the end of existence at the hands of the Dread – as well as figuring out how to stop it. ![]() Much of the first half of Magician’s End is, essentially, spent on waffling. ![]()

![]() ![]() The book follows a group of four men-Jude, Willem, JB, and Malcolm-over three decades of friendship, from their years as college roommates to the heights of professional success. Hanya Yanagihara’s A Little Life, which was released in March, is one of the most buzzed-about books of the season, hailed as a “tour de force,” “extraordinary,” “elemental and irreducible,” “astonishing,” and the work of “ a major American novelist.” But no coverage of the book I’ve seen has discussed it as a novel fundamentally about gay lives-as the most ambitious chronicle of the social and emotional lives of gay men to have emerged for many years. ![]() Dear Therapist: My Roommate Is Cheating on Her Boyfriend With Me Lori Gottliebīut I think it’s possible that novel has happened, even if no one has quite realized it yet. ![]() ![]() Order may come in multiple shipments, however you will only be charged a flat fee.Ģ-10 days after all items have arrived in the warehouse ![]() ![]() Items in order will be sent as soon as they arrive in the warehouse.

Who knew it had story-filled lay lines ? And in Platform Seven (a platform that is a relatively new addition to the station apparently) there is plenty of imagination folded into the pages of this well written novel. We would always invent stories about the people waiting – a spy here, a doctor there, a thief hidden behind the advertising hoarding and maybe a police officer about to arrest a vagabond. Apart from calling it Peanut Butter station, there was something about the light on the uncovered platforms that made the passengers milling about seem to appear in sharp relief. When I used to travel down the East Coast Main Line (as it was in those days, now LNER, through multiple reincarnations), with children in tow, the train would always stop briefly at Peterborough Station. Platform Seven by Louise Doughty, psychological thriller set around Peterborough Station. Psychological thriller set around Peterborough Station ![]() ![]() Can you tell us about The Worlds We Leave Behind, and what inspired it? What Levi brings is a joy that I'm being understood!ģ. When it came to writing this second book, I knew I was writing something for Levi, and so I was able to think, 'What would I like to see Levi draw?' and let that guide me. He really gets what I'm talking about in the stories and it just fits his style so well, that it becomes really hard to imagine anyone else illustrating these words. What do you feel Levi Pinfold's illustrations bring to The Worlds We Leave Behind?Įven the best of illustrators can be hobbled by being matched with a text that just doesn't suit them, and so what Levi really brings is a deep and instinctive feeling of being right. Furthermore they also link to the two books that I made with Emily Gravett, The Imaginary and The Afterwards - there are subtle links and connections between all four of the books!Ģ. The tone of voice and style is the same, shadowy and strange, and there are a couple of characters in common between the two books. ![]() The Worlds We Leave Behind is the second book I've made with Levi, and it is certainly connected to the first one, The Song from Somewhere Else. Is The Worlds We Leave Behind part of the 'group' of novels you have created with illustrators Levi Pinfold and Emily Gravett? Are there connecting threads or themes?
