About The Existence Trilogy Series Of Books: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() However, unlike Charlie and the Chocolate factory, it did not quite translate to a 5-star read for me as an adult and, if I had not been enjoying it along with my kids I might have not enjoyed it quite as much. I did enjoy reading this to my kids and have enjoyed the fact that they have now consumed three straight books one chapter a night with great enthusiasm. Everything from, “Wow, I haven’t read this in years! I was one of my favorites!” to, “WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU READING!” I mean, it is a book about a vampire bunny and if you saw the cover come across your feed, and you had never heard of it, you might have had a similar shocked reaction! Probably the best part of the experience was when it came to sharing my progress on Goodreads and the wide array of responses I got. Another fun time reading a classic and nostalgia filled book to my kids! ![]() ![]() ![]() In comparing these three tyrants, they describe a number of behavioral similarities supporting the contention that a specific psychiatric disorder - manic depression - can be one of the key factors in such political pathologies as tyranny and terrorism.Manic depressive disorder has also produced the great destroyers in history - when in addition to ambition and egotism have been added large measures of ruthlessness, willfulness, utter intolerance of criticism, a consuming need to dominate others, paranoia, and megalomania.Focusing on these three dictators, A Brotherhood of Tyrants argues that manic depression has always been, and continues to be, a critical factor in compelling some individuals to seek political power and to become tyrants. Jablow Hershman and Julian Lieb uncover manic depression as a hidden cause of dictatorship, war, and mass killing. Each attained absolute power, and misused it in a gargantuan fashion, leaving in his wake a trail of hatred, devastation, and death.In A Brotherhood of Tyrants, D. ![]() Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler, and Joseph Stalin were three tyrants, and the effects of their brutal regimes are still with us. ![]() ![]() ![]() Luckily, hot guy, fantasyland Noctorno is there to save her from the clutches of the grotesque vickrants sent by Minerva to capture her. ![]() The problem is, she thinks she’s in a dream but she’s actually taken the place of the parallel universe Cora and without realizing it, our Cora does something that starts a centuries old curse that will sweep the land if she gets captured by the evil Minerva.Īt this point, her dream world becomes a nightmare. ![]() Find the Author: Website, Twitter, Facebook, Goodreads, Instagram, Pinterest, NewsletterĪlso in this series: Wildest Dreams, The Golden Dynasty, Broken Dove, Midnight SoulĬora Goode has woken up in a fairytale world where she can understand what birds are saying to her, men ride horses and have fluffy feathers in their hats and furniture zigs, zags and whirls in miracles of construction. ![]() ![]() ![]() Yes, they may be working for the enemy but they were slaves in their prior lives, something Khaladin knows too well. In the present time, Kaladin struggles with the fact that the parshman aren’t bad. We see Dalinar struggle with his need to fight and unable to enjoy a quiet life. Without Dalinar, Galinar wouldn’t have been able to unite the kingdom. Kingdoms and highprinces feared him and rightfully so.

Yes, The Wolf Den is brutal in its violence and unflinching in its depiction of the many horrors and indignities poor women, slaves, and other marginalized groups of this time must have faced. (Thank goodness it’s set to be the first installment in a trilogy, is what I’m saying.)Īn incredibly well-written and clearly deeply researched tale, Harper’s debut is both a fascinating tale in its own right and an important reclaiming of the sorts of stories from history we far too rarely get to hear. Clocking in at nearly 500 pages, her novel The Wolf Den is an enthralling, exhilarating read from its first page to its last, rooted in both archeological fact and emotional truth.
