Remnants of filth manga6/4/2023 ![]() ![]() Mo Xi, the protagonist in this book might be my favourite MC of most danmeis I've read. And I feel this will be worse for my soul (although shorter). But no, she had to write another masterpiece. I thought Erha was heart wrecking enough. won't you…?""į*ck meatbun who always delivers the best characters □ Overall, another awesome start to a promising series and I cannot wait to read the next one! Mo Xi especially is the kind of complicated character that you immediately fall in love with while also realizing as the story unfolds that due to his noble status he was unable to fully understand everything Gu Mang had gone through.Īnd that ending! Can't even call it a cliffhanger! One second we are in the middle of a battle and the next a new character is introduced and then done! Definitely one of those endings where you're triple checking to see if you somehow missed a page because it can't really end like that! The characters and relationships in Remnants of Filth are as complicated as I was hoping for, the world brutal, and of course full of political intrigue and strict social customs. This isn't a story about two humans that can't communicate, this is a story about betrayal of the absolute most heartbreaking kind. Did it break my heart more? Into freaking pieces. ![]() Was this darker than I expected after The Husky and his White Cat Shizun?

His follow up is unexpectedly quite different if Holding was the gateway drug to Norton’s literary career, A Keeper is the Class A.Įlizabeth Keane has returned from her adopted home in New York to Buncarragh, a fictional town in the South East to take care of her late mother’s estate. Graham Norton’s debut novel Holding won deserved critical acclaim, with its fond explication of tiny rural communities, drenched in observational humour and featuring a whole host of flawed, sympathetic, wholly believable characters offset by the truly affecting stories and pathos that lie beneath the bumbling, slightly ridiculous surface. ![]() Taken by Nikita King6/3/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Stoops died due to a combination of blood loss and an infection.

In emphasizing Siddhartha’s self-assured character, Hesse offers unpretentiously that his book is an outcome of Western as well as Eastern academic beliefs. ![]() It still provides no standard analyses of the mysteries it poses. Yet, this is an Illusively easy and discursive story of the protagonist namely Siddhartha as he progresses through life. It brings the West to the lessons of an Eastern story of spiritual forage and satisfaction. Hermann Hesse’s compact novel Siddhartha has seldom been declared as a work contrary to preacher action. ![]() ![]() ![]() For a brief moment, there's an image of a dead, bare-chested young woman lying in bed.
