![]() ![]() The concern with the environmental risks created by modern society has emerged against a background of a major geopolitical change. ![]() Any kind of change in the ecology brings changes in the life of human beings. The elements that make up the human body are derived from the earth and the atmosphere. The physical earth and the life-sustaining qualities of the biosphere are the very foundation of human life. A better understanding of ecological systems allows the society to predict the consequences of human activity on the environment. The purpose of ecology is to provide knowledge about the way the world works and to bring evidence on the interdependence between the natural world and people.

We just jump from their first training session, to Nikolai's session, to the conclusion. Example -> Zoya ends up having a wonderful bond with Juros (sp?), but we barely get to see them interact. ![]() Leigh Bardugo does still tend to spend too much time on things that really don't need a whole lots of attention, and not enough time developing others. The Grishaverse universe is still very unique and fresh in the genre. But this is still just as much as a YA book as the previous books. The characters are all in their twenties, after all. So I was hoping that King of Scars would lean more towards adult readers. Six of Crows was enjoyable, and I did like them, but wished the characters were a bit older. ![]() If you have read my thoughts on the Shadow & Bone trilogy, you know I was not a fan (and from what I gather, is the least liked books in the Grishaverse series.) I only read them because Netflix's adaption trailers look good, and I always want to read a book before seeing it on screen. So I have mixed feelings about the Grishaverse. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Harris is a New York Times bestselling author. ![]() Harris' Sookie Stackhouse (Southern Vampire) series started in 2001 with Dead Until Dark and also featured Living Dead in Dallas, Club Dead, Dead to the World, Dead as a Doornail, Definitely Dead, All Together Dead, From Dead to Worse, Dead and Gone, Dead in the Family, Dead Reckoning, Deadlocked, and Dead Ever After.
