You can’t have light without the dark you know. See everything for what it is, & except it for what it is-the good AND the bad.

Maddy is such a sweetheart of a girl, who has had a hard hand dealt to her. All the different kinds of acts, the night circus, the ringmaster, the bindings-just to name a few amazing things.(This is my favorite kind of circus too-a fantasy one, that doesn’t include wild animals lol I always love to see it!)The characters have your heart from the word go.

So I was a bit nervous when I started on Quicksilver – now much new, now much sense of wonder can there be in a historical novel? But for me the core has been the sense of wonder. Not that Stephenson is an idea man only, he also creates interesting characters, that you care about and writes good prose. Always something that would provoke some wonder and leave you wondering about the future (the real one and the fictional one) when you closed the book for the last time. Diamond Age has the Primer, Cryptonomicon has the economics of virtual money (or cryptography if you want), Snow Crash was an explosion of new and crazy stuff. The thing about Neal Stephenson is that he usually presents something new and fantastic that runs as the core of his books. ![]() Quicksilver is the first volume of The Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “Mafi combines a psychological opener with an action-adventure denouement in her YA debut.
