The novel was a bit long on the explanations for my taste - a lot of telling about the characters especially at the beginning when showing would have sufficed - but that did not stop me from enjoying the book. The relationship between Will and his Battleschool rival is particularly well portrayed, and Will’s training as a ranger makes for great reading. In Flanagan’s world, young wards of the state have to choose professions, and Will is reluctantly recruited to become a ranger. It was a believable, well-grounded alternate medieval earth. In fact, it had no sorcery at all, which was kind of refreshing. It’s been a while since I read a classic sword and sorcery fantasy novel, but I enjoyed this one a lot. 5/19/2023 0 Comments Look Who's Morphing by Tom ChoQuestions of authenticity, national identity, and whiteness-as-Australianness are still very much relevant in Australian politics today. Technology and popular culture play an important part in how migrants experience and express themselves. Tom Cho uses globally recognised American pop culture references to illustrate issues faced by second-generation Chinese-Australian migrants such as himself. Look Who’s Morphing was supported with funding from the Australia Council for the Arts, and shortlisted for several prizes: the 2010 Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Best First Book (South East Asia and Pacific), 2009 Age Fiction Book of the Year and Melbourne Prize Trust’s 2009 Best Writing Award. As he morphs into Godzilla, Suzi Quatro, a member of the Muppets, a robot, characters of the films Dirty Dancing, The Sound of Music or The Bodyguard, or a giant cock rock star, the characters challenge ideas about gender, home, language and adulthood, as well as cultural integration. The stories that revolve around the protagonist’s, Tom’s, resourceful transformations through many identities, roles, sizes, contexts, media and stories. Look Who’s Morphing is Tom Cho’s literary debut short story cycle. She wouldn’t have him if he were the last man on earth. He thinks she’s trying to trick him into marriage. When King discovers stowaway Sophie, however, the trip becomes anything but boring.

While we may be more used to 'idealised' gods that are only good or bad, in Sláine's time the gods and goddess have various aspects or forms that interact with humanity and expect worship, sacrifices, wars and death to satisfy their various aspects. This book fleshes out some of the role of the various gods and goddess worshipped by the various tribes, both in the north and south of the land. That would be the focus of the next book. After a ritual that chooses Sláine as their new king, he prepares his tribe to throw off their conquerors and to rid their land of them. Sláine's tribe is, by now, is under the heel of northern conquerors who came out of the cold. Now healed of his injuries after battling the Cythrons, Sláine continues his journey north back to his tribe, bearing with him a magical cauldron that can serve food and death. With the completion of that tale, Sláine (and Ukko) travel with Nest to a strange and unusual country to fulfil a series of tasks and challenges as he prepares for the role of becoming king of his people. Containing the conclusion of the main story in the previous book, Sláine, Ukko, Nest and a group of warriors and a sorcerer are now facing the awakening of one of the old gods worshipped by the evil Cythrons, beings who have been 'harvesting' the aura of humans over vast periods of time to awaken their gods so that they may break out of their prison on ancient Earth and sow chaos in the galaxy. |
