![]() ![]() ![]() The film also buys into clichés by portraying Victor as an otherwise emotionally unavailable, violent man who just needs to find the right woman to unlock his heart. But that's only part of why their romance is difficult to accept. To be fair, the seeds of romance were (unsuccessfully) planted in En Brazos de un Asesino (aka In the Arms of an Assassin or, as it was titled in the United States, Killing Sarai) through Sarai's longing looks at Victor, even though he at first keeps her tied up or otherwise physically uncomfortable. ![]() But once the criminals have been taken care of and Sarai is truly free, that plot point goes out the window, and the film turns into a romance worthy of a Harlequin novel. Director Matías Moltrasio initially leads viewers to believe that Victor, an assassin with a heart of gold and his own code of ethics, will risk everything to save Sarai from Javier so that he can use her as leverage to regain custody of his current employer's lost daughter, also trapped by Javier. This movie is kind of a bait and switch: It starts out like an action thriller and then takes a hard turn into romance, but it doesn't succeed at either. ![]() ![]() ![]() In Puzzle Me This, we meet Luke, a computer game designer, who works from home and Alex, a crossword puzzle writer, who works in the same complex as Luke. I have yet to read something she wrote that I didn’t just adore. Review: Now is the time in the review where I gush and gush about Eli Easton. ![]() And, most puzzling of all, how do you know if love is real? When Luke decodes them, romance begins, but then they face greater puzzles, like Alex’s interfering sister and what commitment to a man in a wheelchair really takes. His solution? Secret messages for Luke in the crosswords he writes for the local paper. Alex’s options are limited: he’s too shy to approach Luke and his wheelchair won’t let him follow into the woods. The watcher is Alex Shaw, and he too works from home, designing logic and crossword puzzles. Every day he walks his dog in the woods nearby, never suspecting that someone who is completely smitten is watching.

The poem was commissioned from Vergil by the Emperor Augustus to glorify Rome. ![]() ![]() The first six of the poem’s twelve books tell the story of Aeneas’ wanderings from Troy to Italy, and the poem’s second half treats the Trojans’ ultimately victorious war upon the Latins, under whose name Aeneas and his Trojan followers are destined to be subsumed. The Aeneid is a Latin epic written by Virgil in the 1st century BC that tells the legendary story of Aeneas, a Trojan who traveled to Italy, where he became the ancestor of the Romans.

You sense that the book itself (produced after a spell at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop that postdates Greenwell’s period in Bulgaria) is the story’s happy ending, which is part of what makes it troubling. Later – any readerly sophistication in tatters – I found myself wondering what Greenwell might have left out from his own experience in order to maintain the novel’s insistent melancholy.

I leaned against the wall, hoping to look casual, attractive and suave. And the plots of the other books seemed to move in similar cycles of prophecy-quest-resolution, whereas this and The Hidden Oracle contained more surprises. Percy Jackson and Magnus Chase - started to blend together after a little while, and their characters were hard to distinguish from one another. I think I like these Apollo stories so much more because they feel the most unique. Apollo is just so sassy and snarky, and his disdain for humans rings with hilarious truth. I know all of these books have the same light, humourous tone, but none of the others seem to make me laugh so much. Honestly, Apollo is hands down my favourite character that Riordan has ever created. Unfortunately, the only thing that came to mind was weeping in terror. ![]() |
