![]() ![]() Starflower and Dragonwitch completely outdid everything that had come before them. I devoured Veiled Rose and then Moonblood, but whatever expectations I had for the series could not prepare me for what came next. I read Heartless three times before Veiled Rose was released ( Heartless was published in 2010, and Veiled Rose came out in 2011…). I’ve always enjoyed fantasy, living off of The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia for as long as I can remember, but The Tales of Goldstone Wood took that love to a new level. ![]() (Warning: this is a major nostalgic fangirl post with so many references that many won’t understand…. It is the first book in the Tales of Goldstone Wood series, and it is my childhood. It was titled Heartless, and it was written by Anne Elisabeth Stengl. It had one of the loveliest covers I had ever seen. Brittany, my eldest cousin, showed me a beautiful book she had picked up for just a few dollars at a little bookstore. I first heard about the Tales of Goldstone Wood while with my cousins eight years ago. ![]()

The story is a perfect blend of modern-day technologies and Hindu mythological legends. The feeling of vengeance will lead him to his journey, but his destination is far away. The importance of knowing another person's side is crucial. Shiva leads the army, but what will happen when the destroyer of evil realizes his mistakes. The growing terrorist attacks by Nagas and Chandravanshis will lead the Meluha's emperor Daksha to declare war. ![]() They are ready to die for their Neelkanth. For Shiva, everything is overwhelming, and the expectations of Suryavanshis are too much for him, but his friends helped him see the truth. Shiva falls in love with Sati, the daughter of emperor Daksha, which leads him to break the age-old traditions of Vikrama people (who are punished in this birth for the sins of their previous birth). ![]() His past somehow stops him from acknowledging his reality.

The Quagmires were introduced to the show at the end of Season 1, during the first part of "The Miserable Mill." After spending all season checking in on characters named Mother and Father (played by Cobie Smulders and Will Arnett), which led audiences to believe they were the Baudelaires' parents, it was revealed they're actually the parents of the Quagmire triplets. It seems like having friends would make things easier, but anyone familiar with ASOUE knows that good things don't last, and those who know what happens to the Quagmires in the Series Of Unfortunate Events books are right to expect the worst now that the characters have entered the television series. In Season 2 of A Series Of Unfortunate Events, the Baudelaires meet the Quagmire orphans at Prufrock Preparatory School. ![]() Things start bleakly for the Baudelaire orphans at the beginning of the series and only get worse.

Forget charting maps, naming peaks, leaving footprints on another planet: What she yearned for was the feeling of soaring completely out of bounds. But somewhere in between sneaking illegally across Tibet, studying the history of science and exploration at Oxford and staring down a microscope for a doctorate at MIT, she realized that an explorer, in any day and age, is by definition the kind of person who refuses to live between the lines. This trip was just a simulacrum of exploration, she thought, not the thing itself - a little adventure to pass the time until she could launch for outer space. Well along this path, Harris set off by bicycle down a short section of the fabled Silk Road with her childhood friend Mel Yule. ![]() So she looked beyond this planet, vowing to become a scientist and go to Mars. From what she could tell of the world from small-town Ontario, the likes of Marco Polo and Magellan had mapped the whole earth.

The main narrative is often interrupted by intertextual elements and complex referentiality which foreshadow the narrator’s demise and contain morals that pertain to her life. Various urban legends, myths and retellings shape the story into a cautionary tale. There is a secret behind this ribbon that she keeps from her husband even though he persistently claims that a wife “should have no secrets.” She firmly establishes that he and their son “can’t touch it” plenty of times to protect herself from the danger of losing her head (literally), but her fate is already established since “brides never fare well in stories.” This essay argues that intertextuality – the relationship between literary texts – and literary referentiality in general serve as structural elements that makes the readers draw parallels between the references found in the text and the narrator’s life events. In Carmen Maria Machado’s The Husband Stitch, the unnamed narrator, a self-proclaimed “teller of stories,” wears a green ribbon around her neck. ![]() |
