Story5 out of 5 stars 1
She's gotten food and shelter for her family. Her oldest is turning into a wizard, her middle boy is some kind of self-healing monkey, and her youngest is accumulating a small army of pets. That's a bit much to roll with, but when monsters are appearing on the lawn, it's probably for the best. What worries her is the mysterious—and dangerous—"challenge" she knows is fast approaching, and she's got to get her kids and community ready to face it. Some neighbors are ready and willing to pitch in, but others? They might end up being a bigger problem than the alien monsters.

On Ludus, life is often cheap. Nora's childhood hadn't given her many options. With nowhere else to go after losing her family, she joined an old friend in a street gang and found an unlikely home there. But unfortunately, tragedy is about to befall Nora. Grudges from the distant past and movements of shadowy organizations may take away everything she is familiar with and all that she holds dear...possibly even her life. Danger has never stopped her before, but survival may require escaping her old life and embarking on an insane, desperate journey.

not sure about this book
Reviewed: 07-10-22
ok good points vs negatives
positive- strong female characters
negative- even main characters seem a little 2 demensional
positive- the little it tells about the world could potentially be setting up an interesting place
negative- bad people/creatures in the book are 1 demensional and openly are proud to be evil... urrrrrg even fricken serial killers usually generally dont think they are the evil ones , even naziz thought they were not evil and thought they were protecting future generations when they killed Jews..... in reality evil people don't think they are evil they are convinced there is a good reason to do what they do ,--- so evil characters inviting Nora to join the side of evil is like a super shallow story line
positive- interesting to see how a male author pictures a gender flipped society
negative- seems a bit like not really much time spent fleshing out the ideas like the gender flip in a game world, or a world where it mentions a few times that iron rots away quickly? but isn't explained. or motivations for characters....

With only a handful of students admitted every year, only riders who have the potential to win world-class tournaments are invited to attend.

Unexpectedly, the one person who can calm him is the girl least likely to become a student at Snowfields.

this story glorifies very dangerous choices
Reviewed: 08-19-21
as someone who has worked with horses I can say I would not want ANY person reading this who is not already an experienced horse person who understands equestrian safety. from choices I this that could seriously hurt a horse to choices that would in real like have very likely landed the main character in a morgue drawer.

Ivan Beckley is about to become a fully-qualified doctor in the UK. But he’s not convinced that healthcare works for everyone equally. In this series he uncovers one of the biggest and most insidious injustices in modern medicine. Fixing it could save thousands of lives every year. And yet it’s invisible, unless it directly affects you. Statistics show that black, indigenous and people of colour have worse health outcomes and die more often than white people, across many fields of medicine and diverse illnesses.

I wish they touched more on other bias
Reviewed: 03-15-21
I wish they touched more on other bias such as gender and weight... and how bias can be cumulative if multiple potential bias effeet the patient, it bugs me because some of the stuff they reference could have also have been a great opportunity to bring that up.

Gemma Smythe dedicated her life to the glory of battle. With her fellow War Monks, she worshipped the war gods, rained destruction on her enemies, and raised the dead when the fancy struck. Until her sister Keeley became the prophesied Blacksmith Queen, and Gemma broke faith with her order to journey to the Amichai Mountain and fight by Keeley's side. The Amichai warriors are an unruly, never-to-be-tamed lot, especially their leader-in-waiting, Quinn. But when the War Monks declare support for Gemma's ruthless sister Beatrix, the immaturity of her key ally's the least of her problems.

After the Final War, after the appearance of the Bug aliens and their enforced peace, Shining Smith is still alive, still doing business from the old scrapyard bequeathed to her by her father. But Shining is now something more than human. And the scrapyard is no longer just a scrapyard, but a place full of secrets. This life she has built, while empty, is predictable and safe. Until the only friend left from her previous life shows up, dead, in the back of a scrapped Tesla warplane. Clutched in her cold fingers is a note to Shining - warning her of a coming attack.

great story but a bit much on graphic alien sex
Reviewed: 05-27-20
as usual a great story from this author, but a bit overly detailed for me regarding the alien "finger banging" to use the phrase the female lead character in the book uses....... but the rest of the story is good enough i will certainly purchase the audiobpok version asap if a sequel becomes available.....i just wont listen to it when others could overhear it... but then i am also still waiting for audiobook versions of some of her past books.
