evil throwdown and everyone in the universe is invited. But yeah, this is the continuing story of… uh, the gods? The gods are all real, some of them are evil and others are good, and things are really coming to a head here. I remembered more and more details as the recap went on. I have so many books and audiobooks go into my brain in a given year, that sometimes it’s just awesome to have a nice, detailed recap. Some of you are probably like ‘omg no’ at that, but let me tell you, that was a pretty awesome half an hour. I should also point out that this one has a recap of the first two books in the series, and that recap itself is nearly half an hour long. It’s a bit difficult to sum up the first two books. This is the continuing story of… well a lot of different characters at this point. And yet, it very much was the type of audiobook that I turned on, and just listened to for hours at a time. The audiobook is broken into three parts. This is the longest in the Paternus trilogy, by a not-small amount. It is and will continue to be one of those books that just tickles every single bit of the myth nerd in me. Fantastic Conclusion to a Fantastic Series

One of our aims at Watersgreen House is to showcase same-sex affection in works by important gay and bisexual authors in ways which were not possible at the time the books were originally published. Watersgreen House is an independent international book publisher with editorial staff in the UK and USA. This volume seeks to give readers and scholars a single source to consult when the aim is to read Whitman’s homoerotic verse. This need has been problematic in the past because Leaves is a huge volume to read through to find what one is seeking, shorter editions of “selected” Whitman poems are generally more apt to omit his homoerotic material than to include it (and certainly do not highlight it), and if one turns only to his “Calamus” section, his most homoerotic “chapter,” one misses out on a great deal more. Sometimes gay readers and scholars have occasion to seek out the homoerotic passages of Whitman, whether to read for the pure pleasure of the experience or for scholarship. An abridged introduction by John Burroughs places the work in its historical context. It contains only those poems Whitman wrote exploring masculine beauty and/or same-sex affection. Like Allan, the plot is pleasingly nimble and the book's endearing charm offers a happy alternative to the more familiar Nordic noir.
