![]() ![]() It’s a captivating and emotional story which I read in like two days! All the ways that the support systems, the schools, the adults fail kids. When we’re drowning ourselves and despite it all, want to save someone else. That pressure we feel when we think we have to save someone. The Wicker King examines these spaces in a relationship. We never get Jack’s POV, because we see him through August and his love. Or is that just me? It’s a testament to Ancrum’s writing skills that we see Jack so clearly even though this story is very much about August. So badly crave their acceptance, their acknowledgement of you. ![]() In this space where you feel like you orbit around someone else. And yet The Wicker King inhabits this space of relatability amidst it all. ![]() The nooks, crannies, hooks, and tenderness in their relationship. You get this sensory experience where you feel yourself being dragged in like August. The short chapters only contribute to this fast paced feeling – and I loved it! Combined with the page details (the pictures and the pages which get darker), reading The Wicker King feels like a descent. About those lines we cross for the ones we love. Ancrum sweeps you up in this story about friendship, toxicity, and love. ![]() The Wicker King is a powerful, gripping, and emotional story about codependency and love. ![]() ![]() As we stated in our review, “His love for his sister and the sudden loss he feels turns into him learning more about what makes him who he is.” He begins to discover new things not only about his sister but about himself. The main character, Ren, goes on an adventure as he tries to find the truth behind his sister’s death. The quiet setting of a small town in Japan with rich characters made me easily fall in love with this unique story.Ĭlarissa Goenawan did a brilliant job of exploring self-discovery through loss. ![]() When I began Rainbirds I couldn’t help but be drawn into this melancholy mystery despite it being centered around a murder. ![]() Personally, I find it hard to read stories dealing with loss due to personal reasons. ![]() There are a lot of difficult subjects tackled in literature and one of those is the topic of grief. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Strange Academy: First Class - Collects #1-6.Strange Academy: Finals #5 Strange Academy: Finals #4 Strange Academy: Finals #3 Strange Academy: Finals #2 Strange Academy: Finals #1 Strange Academy #18 Strange Academy #17 Strange Academy #16 Strange Academy #15 Strange Academy #14 Strange Academy #13 Strange Academy Presents: The Death of Doctor Strange #1 Strange Academy #12 Strange Academy #11 Strange Academy #10 Strange Academy #9 Strange Academy #8 Strange Academy #7 Strange Academy #6 Strange Academy #5 Strange Academy #4 Strange Academy #3 Strange Academy #2 Strange Academy #1 Collections Trade Paperbacks Please check your local comic shop for copies of this issue. ![]() This is the current issue, and therefore no story information will be posted about this issue.

Wilson-Furlong was able to go to technical school, run his own business, and support a family. Thus, with the encouragement of his makeshift family unit-his mother Mrs. Wilson, his mother’s Protestant employer, who allowed his mother, Sarah, to continue working there and encouraged Furlong in his education, even giving him a copy of The Christmas Carol. ![]() However, he was given good opportunities, thanks to the generosity of Mrs. This is, in part, because he feels like an outsider, as he was born to an unmarried domestic servant in conservative, small-town Ireland, where the Catholic Church runs all public institutions. 'Small Things Like These' is a short, wrenching, thoroughly brilliant novel mapping the path of one man's conscience, its torment and vacillation between two courses of action. He gives money to the needy and employs the new Russian and Eastern European immigrants whom others find suspicious. ![]() Furlong is of a more compassionate, egalitarian bent than most New Ross residents, who are content to keep their heads down and “stay on the right side of people” (13) in positions of power, such as the wealthy and the Church. ![]() |
