While their goal is the same, their work. In this deeply affecting work about her increasingly debilitating dermal sensitivity to light, former British civil servant turned piano teacher Lyndsey moves the reader with her wry, intimately detailed narrative. It brings us to an extraordinary place from which we emerge to see the light and the world anew. Girl in the Dark is a tale of an unimaginable fate that becomes a transcendent love story. But even impossible lives, she learns, endure. One day Anna had an ordinary life, and then the unthinkable happened. And through it all there is Pete, her love and her rock, without whom her loneliness seems boundless. During periods of relative remission, she can venture out cautiously at dawn and dusk into a world that, from the perspective of her cloistered existence, is filled with remarkable beauty. Now, at the worst times, Anna is forced to spend months on end in a blacked-out room, where she loses herself in audiobooks and elaborate word games in an attempt to ward off despair. Then what started as a mild intolerance to certain kinds of artificial light developed into a severe sensitivity to all light. Haunting, lyrical, unforgettable, Girl in the Dark is a brave new memoir of a life without light.Īnna Lyndsey was young and ambitious and worked hard she had just bought an apartment she was falling in love. You're not going to get the sort of wild variety that you'll see in, say, Amplitude's Endless series, where each faction has dramatically different, bespoke playstyles with unique systems at their disposal. In the early game in particular, you won't notice a whole lot of difference between your industrious goblins or sinister mole-people. The downside of this style of empire creation is that, while some of the choices you make can have a big impact, a lot of it is highly situational or under the hood, or more flavourful than practical. Your long-term goal might be to transform your empire's citizens into undead monstrosities themselves. Rulers, and the heroes you'll recruit later, represent the most powerful units in the game, and while they can benefit your empire by governing cities, where they really shine is in the tactical battles. Initially you're just selecting their physical appearance and starting weapons, but over the course of the game you'll find plenty of new gear and XP to bolster their power. If you pick a mortal champion it will be from the same species you just created, while Wizard Kings can be from any species. Nearly as important is the creation of your ruler.

And Katharine had no children in her previous two marriages, so the fact that she might not be able to have children must have crossed his mind. Why he chose Katharine is a bit of a mystery, what with Henry obsessed with the line of succession and only having one son in a time when many children did not live to adulthood. And for the most part, Henry treated her well. Katharine was really in love with Thomas Seymour, Jane Seymour’s older brother and uncle to Prince Edward, but once Henry sets his sights on her, she could not refuse him, choosing her sense of duty instead of love. It wasn’t until Katharine went to court and met Henry that things picked up for me. Her early life and marriages make up the first 40% of the book, and while many of the events were historically accurate I came to find out while listening to The Six Wives of Henry VIII on audiobook, also by Weir, I was pretty bored. Then, she was married to a man who had teenagers and two wives buried. The marriage was short-lived because her husband died. The book begins when Katharine is a child, and as she comes of age, her marriage to a man in his early 20’s. I knew nothing of Katharine Parr beyond the fact that she was Henry VIII’s last wife, and that she outlived him. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but it took me quite a while to get into the book.
