The Chaos of Stars

Product Information

As a book archeologist it's my duty to study how this book became what it is. It's a hard job, I know, but I'll do my best. I don't blame who tried to rid it from this world of its existence though. Might I recommend burning it next time because unless... Chaos is an important part of many games and therefore the gaming industry is in love with the Chaos star. This symbol has become a renowned symbol in the industry for decades.

First of all, I apologize for the extremely long review but I had so much to say! I hope it doesn't scare people off. *-* I'm entertained, but I feel like I need more. For more context, this part is very introductorious and when is getting really better, the volume ends. Families can talk about families, mortal and immortal. Do you think bestowing some human-seeming foibles made these gods more accessible and easier to understand for the ancient Egyptians? What other religions had gods with negative qualities?

They're crystal blue, a shade that shouldn't exist on the human body, I shade I immediately crave, a shade that makes my heart beat a little bit faster--almost as if I recognize it. I want to steal it, paint it, throw it into every room I ever decorate. It's the most perfect blue I've ever seen. Even from this distance his eyes are simply remarkable.”

For example (I know you've heard this one), "I can't be faithful to my spouse/lover because my parents divorced when I was 10, and now I just can't fully commit to anyone. *sob*". Some kissing and hand-holding. Sprinklings of innuendo and jokes about STDs, Isis' maternal breasts exposed in statue form, and more. The story of how the goddess Nephthys wanted a child so she disguised herself as Osiris' wife and slept with him. Hathor is described as Horus' "boozed- and sexed-up wife," probably because she's the goddess of beer and sex.

When I was old enough to navigate the steep, worn steps by myself, I was there every minute Mother allowed. As soon as I finished my morning worship, I’d skip straight down. Coloring on the floor next to Father’s knees as he nodded and watched things I couldn’t see. Giggling as I ran between Ammit’s unmoving lion and hippo legs. Memorizing the pictures along the walls, making up stories for the people portrayed there. The characters were well done, our main character flawed, just as her parents are. You can understand her pain & bitterness, her past eating her up inside. I can relate to that on some things. So I think the part of this book I enjoyed the most was Isadora learning (with the help of Ry & Tyler) how to let go and learn to live. Not letting her past destroy her, but define her. Learning to live in the moment, and hope for the future. That can be such a hard lesson to learn sometimes, but it's beautiful when it happens. And I just loved to see her growth in becoming a more open, loving, strong woman. And I just loved Ry, and his constant pushing until she found her way there.

Isadora is tired of her immortal relatives and their ancient mythological drama, so when she gets the chance to move to California with her brother, she jumps on it. But her new life comes with plenty of its own dramatic—and dangerous—complications . . . I don’t need a new person to suddenly spring up under my skin and push out who I was, who I’ve already decided to be. Those feelings have no place in my life and I will not let myself be a fool in love, with love, let it take over and destroy me.It would be so easy for me to list what I disliked about this book, and rant about what a little bitch Isadora is and how much I hated her, but it's not so simple as that. You will get no arguments from me that our main character is an easy character to hate, but I find myself empathizing with her more often than not. A captivating novel of first love, Egyptian mythology, and family, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of And I Darken I’m so mad about this—I am—I’m furious. The only reason there are tears in my eyes is because I used too many onions in dinner. Besides, I say, trying not to sniffle, you’re the one who’s always going on about schedules and traditions and doing things the same way all the time so that chaos can’t creep in and mess things up!

Nut, the sky goddess, had disobeyed Amun-Re, god of the sun. She’d taken the god of the earth as a lover. Amun-Re feared that introducing more gods into the world would create an imbalance of power. I slam the platter of charcoal, sauce, and garnishes down in the middle of the table and then sit for dinner. Mother clears her throat primly. She looks strange. Normally she barely gets out of bed during her mourning period, but other than the occasional freakout like yesterday, she’s been downright perky. What I'm trying to tell you is that nothing happens in The Chaos of Stars. For 95% of the book there is no conflict whatsoever. There's actually very little Egyptian mythology too. Other than the history lesson info dumps at the beginning of each chapter (which I'll explain later), the book reads like a contemporary book. It's just about a girl moving to America, meeting friends, hating her family, not wanting to fall in love, working at a museum, and starting an interior design project. America has no roots. Nothing here lasts forever. I’ll fit right in.Once in San Diego, she is horrified at the prospect of yet ANOTHER inconvenient pregnancy, in this case, her brother's wife's incoming baby. It's like all these babies are conspiring to pop out of the place to diminish Isadora's existence in the world. It's damned selfish, these parents and their new babies and wanting to have them is so "self-centered," and "selfish." Isadora's also aghast at the fact that she has to work. It's a pretty cozy job, working to organize her family's donated Edyptian artifacts at the local museum. She meets new friends, a cute new boy with whom she is absolutely determined not to fall in love. She took Ubesti’s body from my arms and told me to meet her downstairs in my room. I nearly tripped in my haste to get there, pacing with nervous excitement. Even after all the potions and amulets I’d helped her with, she’d never done actual spells for me, and at that moment I loved her even more than I knew possible.

Mentions of swearing without the actual words. All written words are mild: "piss," "screw it," "bastard," and "freaking." Isadora doesn't like the god Horus so she spells it "Whore-us." My father came in, smiling his soft, distant smile, and my mother followed him, beaming and carrying a large jar in her hands. It was carved with glyphs, the lid shaped like a cat’s head, all made in precious alabaster. Star Map on Night Light - Personalized Constellation Map - Custom Night Sky - Stars on Wedding - Stars Chart Anniversary Gift - Celestial The Offense(s): Criminal waste of time, cover fraud, squandering a great premise, using cliches and juvenile writing Romance wise, this seems to build up to an age gap trope. Volume 1 covers 2 years and it starts with one MC being 13, and the other 22. Their relationship is godfather - godson.

He's a show-off, that's what he is. I don't give a mummified cat whether or not he can speak Arabic. I add show-off to my list of reasons why I will never like Ry in a way that would be dangerous. And then I'm mad that I even feel like I need to have a list, which is another thing to put on the list I wish I didn't have to have." She rarely does. International cell charges and whatnot. Besides which, she's flighty and nearly impossible to understand. And she says I always misinterpret her intentions.' What appeals to you about The Chaos of the Stars the most? The romance? The fantasy elements? The humor? Is it missing anything? Also that one illustration of Gu Yun with the monocle and shooting an arrow changed the trajectory of my life.While in San Diego with her favorite brother Sirus and his wife Deena, Isadora finds her first friend and meets a boy she really, really likes. Trouble is, Isadora has long ago sworn off love and she’s determined not to allow romance to enter her life. But Ry refuses to be dissuaded. If friendship is what Isadora wants, he’s ready to be her friend. If it’s a living, breathing restaurant guide she needs, he can become one in a heartbeat. Their friendship and romance were rather enjoyable because I always knew Isadora would come around eventually – that certainty made me smile even when she was being extremely difficult and frustrating. Besides, even though her logic was seriously thwarted, I understood where she was coming from, which is all that really counts. And of course because this is YA she's guaranteed a man-cessory who helps her break that hard bitchy exterior of hers (he doesn't, despite what White says). Let's describe Ry. He's described looking like Prince Eric and Evie Isadora keeps mentioning how blue his eyes are. There's a paragraph that's like blue, blue, blue (Oh, the art of the English language). And then bam, he's the descendent of Greek gods which is just completely random and irrelevant to the story except for the fact that White puts her foot in her mouth when she states that Greek and Egyptian mythology is the same thing. At the heart of The Chaos of Stars is the struggle of every teen: the push-pull of needing freedom and space from parents, but also needing their love and understanding. It's also a fantasy-tinted reminder that most families are full of challenges. Also, bravery can mean independence and being centered in oneself, but it also means being open to love and relationships and all their possibilities.
