Sinossi

We is a dystopian novel written by Evgenii Ivanovich Zamiatin, first published in 1924. The book is considered one of the earliest examples of the dystopian genre, influencing later works such as George Orwell's 1984. Set in a futuristic society where individuals are known by numbers instead of names and personal freedom is nonexistent, the story follows the protagonist D-503 as he rebels against the totalitarian state. Zamiatin's writing style is characterized by its scientific, detached tone, reflecting the rigid and controlled nature of the society he portrays. The novel explores themes of individuality, conformity, and the human desire for freedom. Zamiatin drew inspiration from his experiences as a Russian revolutionary and his observations of authoritarian regimes, infusing the narrative with a sense of urgency and relevance. We is a thought-provoking and cautionary tale that challenges readers to examine the impact of oppressive governments on the individual. Recommended for those interested in dystopian literature and political satire.

Wishmaker - Part 1

Hilary H. White

The land of the gods suffers from a supernatural blight resulting in famine, stillbirths, and strife. Instead of beseeching the gods for help, Eirian Frost finds them pleading for hers. The problem is that she’s just learned she possesses an unruly, banned magic that makes her the target of a covetous self-proclaimed prophet—and may turn her allies against her.  
A childhood tantrum resulting in her mother’s death led Eirian to accept that she cannot alter fate. Instead, she has learned to surrender to it. But with the blight, a doomsday cult led by the Prophet gaining power, and banished monsters returning to stalk the night, Eirian realizes the world will soon be uninhabitable if she doesn’t answer the gods’ call and fight back. 
Reversing the damage hinges on Eirian and her friends Viryda Thistle and Rowe Cinder recovering the Prism, an artifact that regulates life and death. But the Prism has been hidden for millennia, and the Prophet has a secret power that can wrest from her what little control Eirian has over her magic. If there’s a way to master chaos itself, Eirian must find it or risk having her magic do the Prophet’s work for him.
