Okay, quite a contrast to the prince of thorns book by mark Lawrence. The poppy war manages to make war strategies interesting, because a person like me easily doses off when war planning are going on. but if I think like them? I see why they won’t, nikara has been at war for ages, people do not care about anything but putting their next meal on plates. The book has elements of war set in brutal tones, the writing style offers raw glimpses of what happens to a nation like nikara constantly at war crumbling economy, failed unification of the country front and also what I think is an important part of culture, faith in higher power, people do not believe in gods here. If I were to meet most of the characters on this list, I would end up dead.Ĭurrently reading.I tried taking notes while reading for the first time. I'm a slut for cruel female protagonists with tragic pasts, and that's exactly what Adelina is.
and most importantly, she has amazing fanart. ❧ Ead Duryan ( The Priory of the Orange Tree)Ĭredit: strong, loyal, brave, intelligent, perfect. I don't know if I want to be her or be with her. Specifically, the version of her character played by Kiera Knightley in 2005. ❧ Elizabeth Bennet ( Pride and Prejudice)
She's ruthless, violent, and not entirely sane, but I love her nonetheless. That should be enough inspiration to start it. If you haven't read Gideon the Ninth yet, what are you doing with your life? Just look at how hot the main character is. ❧ Delilah Bard ( A Darker Shade of Magic) She could murder me with those knives and I'd say thank you. I'd give up my firstborn to eat waffles with her. In March, Inkslinger staffers and other journalism students will be traveling to New York for what is the final round where they find out if they received a gold or silver crown.My Book Girlfriends: a Semi-Comprehensive List
It was after practice and I was so convinced it was a prank, that I went and checked if CSPA had tweeted it and I immediately called Chloe and told her.” Merritt actually emailed me and I thought it was a joke. “We had been anticipating the decision for a while after being the highest scoring Lit Mag for small schools in Georgia, we had really high hopes of receiving a Crown,” Inkslinger editor-in-chief Alexander Greene said. This is the first Crown for any publication Merritt has advised. Until a friend of mine sent a message congratulating me on the award and I replied saying ‘I have no idea what you’re talking about,’” media arts adviser Katie Merritt said. “I knew Crown announcements were coming out but I couldn’t remember if we submitted the Inkslinger for a Crown award or a CSPA critique, so it was completely off my mind. It is a very competitive national award, with over a thousand submissions and only 64 were selected for our category and 24 were selected for print lit mags. The Crown is an award given by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and awarded to different areas of journalism. The theme for this year was “What We Left Behind” which was a way to reference the end of a decade and pay respects to the things of our past such as people or places. All submissions to the magazine are voluntary and the best pieces are chosen. The Inkslinger, Darlington’s literary art magazine, contains student art, photography and writing.
