Ailbe did and that very day the river was filled with an abundance of fish. The local people requested that he bless a river that had no fish. Ailbe (6th century) was associated with the monastery at Emly in County Tipperary. Cinder, Scarlet, & Cress.Irish Girl Names A through D Irish Baby NameĪ name thought to have Norman roots that means "wished-for" or "longed-for child."ĭerived from an old Irish word meaning "white," St. Next week’s review: The Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer. I like to be prepared before a character dies, (I’ve been known to peek ahead…) but I don’t mind deaths as long as they serve a point for the story. What is your opinion on character’s deaths, should they come quick and unexpected or do you like to see it coming? I just have a need to find out what happens.) (Though I doubt I’d be able to follow my own advice. So my recommendation is you should read the Maze Runner, it’s a good, unique book, but skip the the Scorch Trials and The Death Cure. (After the Maze Runner I expected more out of him, he is supposed to be a genius after all.) (In my opinion) They were too gruesome, (scary doesn’t have to be gross) there was too much pointless action, (it got a bit much after a while) certain parts made no sense, (and I didn’t like them) and the main character kept acting stupid. These books had such potential! Most of the story is good, but the Scorch Trials and The Death Cure had some serious flaws. I haven’t been so disappointed in an author in a long time. I just know I’m going to have nightmares about that.) (Though it was tame compared to a death in the Death Cure. It didn’t feel necessary and it was too brutal for me. (It’s not really a spoiler that characters die in a book like this, but I know how some people are about spoilers of any kind.) I have no problem with characters dying, but I didn’t like the way a certain character died. I can’t explain without minor spoilers, so skip the rest of this paragraph if you don’t want spoilers of any sort. The Maze Runner is almost an eight star book, but fell just short of great for me. ![]() (Though there is more romance in the Scorch Trials.) Maze Runner’s also light on romance, which is odd for a young adult book, but it worked. I like a bit more than that, but that’s not the sort of book this is. Other than height, age, and shoe size all we know about the main character’s appearance is he has brown hair. ![]() There are no slow spots with flowery descriptions here. The conclusion actually made sense and didn’t seem contrived just to explain the author’s cool concept. What is going on here? My imagination ran wild with the possibilities and I was afraid that in the end I’d be disappointed, but surprisingly I wasn’t. The continual questions kept me glued to the pages. The Maze Runner is a read in an entire day sort of book. Yep, that’s right none of the characters can remember anything before the maze. (Though this is the sort of book I don’t dare get attached to anyone going in.) I understand that it must have been hard for the writer to show characterization when none of the characters has a past. I would have liked more character development, so that I could get to know the characters better and care about what happens to them more. The whole point of the book is to keep reading to figure out the why behind the maze. I can’t really say anything more about the premise without spoiling things. Surprisingly for a group of kids they’ve established an organized society where everything works. The glade is surrounded by a massive maze that the boys are trying to solve to escape. He’s greeted by other teenage boys in an area called the glade. Thomas wakes up in an elevator box with no memory other than his name. Predictability: 1 out of 5 (Where 1 is George RR Martin (If the characters make a plan or think about the future I know it isn’t going to go that way.) And 5 is Cinder (where I guessed what was going to happen long before it did, but it was still a great book.) Genre: Young Adult, Science Fiction, Dystopian, Thriller ![]()
