The Witch who Trades with Death:
"Saw this on my feed (hi, Carol!), and the blurb had this priceless description
"A young witch forced to play concubine for her empirical captor" What? Empirical captor? And googling the sentence, there are some 150 google hits all of this blurb, and nob" Read more of this review » |

| I expected more after The Tobacconist; it is written well, but, being the chronicle of a rather uneventful life of a decent man and whomsoever he comes into contact with, it just goes on without any real tides or ebbs. The premise holds more promise. ...more | |

“Kõik, mis on täiuslik ja vastuoludeta, peab kaduma. Täiuslikuks saamise hetk on tema lõpp-punkt, edasi pole tal enam kohta. Muidugi ei tähenda see, et ta kohe otsa saaks - aga ta sureb paratamatult, elu lahkub temast, ükskõik, kui kaua ta füüsiliselt siin meie keskel ringi ka ei liiguks. Ja see ei ole see täiuslikkus, mida teil enda ümber vaja on, uskuge mind.”
