![]() ![]() The approach reveals that “rot” and “decay” are the most dominant motifs used, followed by “filth”, “corruption”, and “bribery”. This study, adopting the corpus-assisted approach in a mix of numerical data and qualitative description of Armah’s The Beautyful Ones are not yet Born, used frequencies of the occurrence of pejorative terms in the text to determine the dominant subject matters in the novel. This paper argues that the corpus assisted approach can contribute methodologies to support objective investigation of the subject matters of the text. This view appears skewed in many respects. The majority of studies on the novel have overwhelmingly concluded that corruption is the preoccupation of the text. ![]() Armah’s The Beautyful Ones are not yet Born is a novel known for its extensive portrayal of the ills and anomalies in the Ghanaian society right after independence. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I know that I have never felt anything like the fear and anguish she was feeling when that photo was taken.

I’m not sure there is ever an easy day to try to review a book in which the love interest is the architect of a genocide that results in thousands of on-page deaths. I started trying to write my review of War by Laura Thalassa on the day after the Turkish air force started bombing Kurdish-controlled portions of Syria. I’m struggling with all of that and I’m not sure I get to answers, but anyway – read with caution, please. I thought about not reviewing it but I think there is a worthwhile discussion to be had about what it means that a book like this not only exists, but is laden with positive reviews on GoodReads. I’m sorry if this is upsetting for you guys to read. ![]() ![]() I honestly found this book very hard to read and hard to write about, especially with what’s in the news these days.

I am really looking forward to reading the fourth novella in the Faerie Tales series. Faerie Tales Book 3 Outset Story: Fergus, Aoife, and Niamh find the reincarnation of Tamlin. Vow Unbroken is a very short but engaging read. The side characters are not nearly as developed as the main characters but each of them are unique and have something to do in the story. I found the three main characters to be interesting. Vow Unbroken has three main characters: a kelpie and a young man, who also appeared in the previous novella entitled Warrior's Tithe, and another young man who is knight/lover of Queen Mab. This story takes place in the fairy world. I would characterize this story as Scottish and Celtic-based fantasy/fairy tale. Deschamps: A Tiktok follower gave a review of Vow Unbroken, the 3rd.
