Nature is out of balance in the human kingdom. The sun hasn't shone in years, and crops are failing. Worse yet, strange and hostile creatures have begun to appear. And the people's survival hangs in the balance. To solve the crisis, the oracle stones are cast, and Kaede and Taisin, two seventeen-year-old girls, are picked to go on a dangerous and unheard-of journey to Tanlili, the city of the Fairy Queen. Taisin is a sage, thrumming with magic, and Kaede is of the earth, without a speck of the otherworldly. And yet the two girls' destinies are drawn together during the mission. As members of their party succumb to unearthly attacks and fairy tricks, the two come to rely on each other and even begin to fall in love. But the Kingdom needs only one huntress to save it, and what it takes could tear Kaede and Taisin apart forever. The exciting adventure prequel to Malinda Lo's highly acclaimed novel Ash is overflowing with lush Chinese influences and details inspired by the I Ching, and is filled with action and romance.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was ten when I started shaving my legs. My dark shin fur was hard to ignore in shorts weather, and my mother gave me a box from the Modess company. It was a my first period kit, and inside were samples of pads and panty liners. #2 I had menarche in 1981 when I was ten years old. I was very sympathetic, but I was also a little baffled. I had read the pamphlet How Shall I Tell My Daughter. but nowhere in it did it say that your period was not a blue liquid. #3 The author experienced car creepery at 13, when a man yelled Nice tits at her while she was walking home from school. She responded by yelling Suck my dick, which is not the moment she associates with entering womanhood. It was when she bought this kickass white denim suit at the Springfield mall. #4 I had a gynecology appointment in Chicago, and it was at a Planned Parenthood. I was taken to an examining room where a big butch nurse practitioner asked me if I was pregnant. I said no, and she took out a speculum the size of a milk shake machine. I fainted both times they tried to examine me.

Genre: Literary Criticism
ISBN:

This two-volume set surveys the profound impact of political humor and satire on American culture and politics over the years, paying special attention to the explosion of political humor in today's wide-ranging and turbulent media environment. Historically, there has been a tendency to regard political satire and humor as a sideshow to the wider world of American politics—entertaining and sometimes insightful, but ultimately only of modest interest to students and others surveying the trajectory of American politics and culture. This set documents just how mistaken that assumption is. By examining political humor and satire throughout US history, these volumes not only illustrate how expressions of political satire and humor reflect changes in American attitudes about presidents, parties, and issues but also how satirists, comedians, cartoonists, and filmmakers have helped to shape popular attitudes about landmark historical events, major American institutions and movements, and the nation's political leaders and cultural giants. Finally, this work examines how today's brand of political humor may be more influential than ever before in shaping American attitudes about the nation in which we live.
