Book review – The Wheel of Time book 7 – A Crown of Swords
My, oh my, Robert Jordan delivers again on the 7th book of the Wheel of Time series. I was expecting fireworks, in your face humour and twisted politics. What I did not expect were a host of feel good moments, over shadowed characters coming into their own, introduction of a no-nonsense Mc Gonagall like character…
Winter realisation
Till 2018, I had associated winters with a runny nose, a dry coughing throat and air that was too cold to get out. But in December 2018, I visited Dhanaulti and could finally understand why many people are so fond of the crisp winter air. You see, I misunderstood the dreaded winter air with the…
Winter monochrome
The blacks shimmer their velvety eleganceIn the winters,While the whites and the creams wonder,Why the skies and snow mimic us,Unaware that they are imitating the winter monochrome!

Winter devils
The winter Gods have unleashed their snow demons,The demons play with ice and winds,Unaware of the bone-chilling amongst the fragile humans,And laughing at the monochrome around!

The Adarlan’s assassin comes into her true form in many a fight scenes and now we know, why she is feared all over the empire. The Crown Prince was just another chocolate boy in the first…

Abandoned tree
And what a life this ageless tree hasWaiting for the snow to freeze it’s exteriorAwaiting the blazing sun to nourish it’s swaying leavesWaiting for the trekkers for solitary picturesAnd ultimately waiting for death for decades. Picture taken in 2018, please travel responsibly and safely.
My thoughts on Throne of Glass
I did not expect this book to be so enchanting! I was under the impression that this will be another Twilight but to my utter delight, no, it is not! The first few chapters are gradually building the plot and the characters, and the story line is not fast-paced but it is not slow paced…
