![]() ![]() ![]() the real clincher that makes this story one that i didn't want to stop listening to, of course, was the moral ambiguity going on in both places.in the ranks of the military, in the marriages and familial relationships of the characters, on almost every page of this novel. ![]() i think this would make a great film.with all the intrigue and deception and secrets going on inside the house.and all the devastation and disagreement going on outside the house. i think the characters were a bit one dimensional.but i honestly liked the story enough that it didn't matter all that much. this sets off a series of relationships and events that don't really surprise the reader, but definitely made me think about situations and experiences.wondering how i'd behave in each of the subsequent character's places. a British Colonel sets his family and home up alongside the previous German occupants (and rightful owners of the property) instead of sending them to the camps. the setting is post World War 2 Hamburg.where British soldiers are requisitioning German homes while they attempt to tear down and rebuild the city. ![]() about humanity, and war and nationality and morals.and right and wrong. Thought provoking novel about morals and war ![]() ![]() Ruby will be faced with a terrible choice, one that may mean giving up her only chance at a life worth living.

When they arrive at East River, nothing is as it seems, least of all its mysterious leader. But no matter how much she aches for him, Ruby can’t risk getting close. Liam, their brave leader, is falling hard for Ruby. She joins a group of kids who escaped their own camp. Now she’s on the run, desperate to find the one safe haven left for kids like her-East River. When the truth comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. ![]() Now sixteen, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones. Something that gets her sent to Thurmond, a brutal government “rehabilitation camp.” She might have survived the mysterious disease that’s killed most of America’s children, but she and the others have emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they cannot control. Something alarming enough to make her parents lock her in the garage and call the police. When Ruby wakes up on her tenth birthday, something about her has changed. ![]() ![]() ![]() IGN was able to talk to Portkey Games, the company who made the game, about the character and her inception. So, while Rowling wasn’t actually involved at all in the creation of the game or the character, it seems the game makers borrowed from her naming conventions when naming the character.įans have pointed out that the very first part of the trans woman’s name is “sir” and that the name also contains the word “aryan.” For a game trying to avoid connections to a transphobe who has found herself on the side of Nazis and fascists more often than not recently, a name basically equivalent to “Sir Aryan” is very unfortunate. It’s not much, but it’s better than anything we got in the books! So, how did a trans woman end up in Hogsmeade? Well, the books’ TERF author was not involved directly in the making of the game - it just takes place in her world. Took them a second to realize I was actually a witch, not a wizard.” ![]() Which is more than I can say for some of my own classmates. ![]() Ryan replies that she “hadn’t seen him in years when he came in a few months ago. ![]() \u201c'I was actually a witch, not a wizard'\n\n'Hogwarts Legacy' may introduce the Wizarding World's first transgender character, Sirona Ryan\n\n(via | )\u201d - Fandom you meet Ryan in the game, you ask if she knows a goblin named Lodgok. ![]() |
