“Rossi pulled the carving tools out. “This was gonna be a surprise. For a while now, I’ve wanted to make you a new cane. And this morning, it was like, well, I have to do it now, so you’ll have time to enjoy it, to wear it out even. ... Part of the development of the piece of art is it being lived on, y’know…before you leave us.” She took a deep breath, looking over her shoulder toward the now shadowy amphitheater. “But then at the moot, with Bianca and…” she trailed off.
“The world got bigger,” he said.” Rachel H. White |

“Jerry asked in a darker tone, “Tell me, you know about stories. In a story where the king sends a young knight off on an impossible quest, what do people think of the king?”
Rossi raised an eyebrow. “Usually? He’s not a character, he’s just the king. But you’re not some blueblood figurehead--” “And what will people think of me sending you all off to do the dirty work?” Rossi closed her eyes, rubbing her forehead. “What people think won’t matter if you don’t come back.” “I’d rather not come back than sit here and watch you all not come back.” Rachel H.

| The movie had a massive influence on me as I watched it over and over as a child. As for the book, I do like it, but I don't think it's necessarily a kids' book. Not that a kid wouldn't enjoy it, but it definitely has themes that make more sense as a ...more | |

added a status update: Doc continued. “We needed to gather a lot of information, from both magical and scientific standpoints. So we are now asking forgiveness instead of permission.”
When Cali nudged her, the figure lifted the hood. Her gaunt, gray face and deep black hair shaded haunted black eyes. A nasty sibilance went through the crowd. Doc said, “this is Bianca. Bianca, meet New Village.” *Excerpt from *In the Shadow of Downtown* |

| I read this a few months ago, haven't reviewed until now because I feel a bit like I'm a big kid picking on a little kid. If cozy fantasy is your jam, you might like this. I like the grandmother character, I like the concept of magical recipes, and s ...more | |

“He held out his hand to Calliope with her hands on the shoulders of the hooded figure. They stepped forward, and when Cali nudged her up onto the dais, the figure hesitated, but then lifted the hood.
Her gaunt face and deep black hair shaded haunted black eyes. A nasty sibilance went through the crowd.
“Everyone,” Doc said, “this is Bianca. Bianca, meet New Village.”
As Rossi stared--as everyone stared--mouths wide open, Bianca took off her cloak. Her skin on her face, arms and legs was not only pale but gray, with scars that were ash-colored. Her eyes weren’t ringed with mats of goo like the man and animals they had burned before. However, those near the front could see, as her eyes flicked from one side of the amphitheater to the other, a thin line of cruddy black residue lined her eyelids and lashes like a gritty mascara. She was tainted.”

“Cali moved around the house gathering things. She took shiny rocks they called “crystals”, dried herbs hanging from the rafters, fancy dishes, weird shapes or bones hanging on the wall, all this random stuff that Bianca just thought were cool decorations.
She didn’t seem satisfied with where she put them, frequently looking from one object to another, swapping them, holding her hands over them again, adding or taking away other objects around them, lining things up and then breaking them up again, all the while shaking her head and muttering.
Bianca couldn’t take her eyes off this process, the raven-raccoon part of her tainted brain that liked shiny objects getting hooked. But she didn’t bother to ask what was going on. She knew she wouldn’t get it.
Still, Cali noticed her watching. “I teach lessons, you know.”
Bianca quirked her mouth to the side. “I don’t have any magic powers. I wouldn’t make a good shaman.”
Cali folded her hands under her chin, smiling. “Everyone has magic powers. It’s just the old ways of the world taught people to give up their own power to others, not trust their instincts, their internal knowing.” She sat back again, shifting around a row of animal teeth. “Most of what I teach is to un-learn or stay out of that mentality, as well as to get in touch with and strengthen your connection to the non-physical aspects of life.”
Bianca shrugged. “I’m pretty messed up though, with everything that’s happened.”
“Honey, the whole world is messed up. It was messed up long before the Disunion.”

“Like Jerry taught us,” Ryan said sagely, “Wise man say, ‘Inside the fence, it’s a dog. Outside the fence, it’s a wolf’.” The others nodded, and Fiona just looked at Rossi sadly.”
