We read the story from the perspectives of Caroline, Nella and Eliza. When she stumbles upon a clue to the unsolved apothecary murders that haunted London two hundred years ago, her life collides with the apothecary’s in a twist of fate with lasting impacts. In present day London, Caroline spends her tenth wedding anniversary alone, running from her own demons after finding out about her husband’s infidelity. But Eliza makes a mistake that will have lasting consequences. Her newest patron, Eliza is a twelve-year-old, where an unexpected friendship develops. Nella sells well-disguised poisons to use against the oppressive men in their lives. One timeline is set in eighteenth-century London where a secret apothecary shop caters to clientele with ulterior motives. This is also a great one for book clubs and that’s why I included it in my must-read book club picks list for 2021. The storyline is so original and I really enjoyed the mystery components-plus this features a gorgeous cover. The Lost Apothecary is a dual timeline story set in both the 1700s and present day London. And while I love WWII historical fiction stories, there is something special about novels that take place in other time periods. Historical fiction is such a great genre.

The essential reality of that which has being-for-itself ( Fürsichsein) is self-existence. Hegel declares that the essential reality of that which has being-for-itself is not in an "other." The "other" is not essential to that which has being-for-itself. The Absolute results from a process of becoming and developing itself. Knowledge reaches its goal when it arrives at the Absolute and when it no longer has to search beyond itself, because in the Absolute it finds itself.Īccording to Hegel, the Absolute is Spirit, and Spirit is Reality. Reality is the conceptual totality of absolute mind and spirit. For Hegel, reality is rational and logical. Hegel maintains that knowledge is not separated from, or external to, absolute reality, but that knowledge is itself reality, and that reality is mental and spiritual. Hegel’s The Phenomenology of Mind ( Phänomenologie des Geistes, 1807) is an extensive and wide-ranging investigation of how knowledge is obtained of absolute truth and of how spirit reveals itself as absolute reality. In New York City, you’re much more likely to fall down a manhole than a rabbit hole and, if you do, you’re not going to find a tea party. Thinking one day about Alice in Wonderland, she was struck by how pastoral the setting must seem to kids who, like her own, lived in urban surroundings. While working on a Kids WB show called Generation O! she met children’s author James Proimos, who talked her into giving children’s books a try. She also co-wrote the critically acclaimed Rankin/Bass Christmas special, Santa, Baby! Most recently she was the Head Writer for Scholastic Entertainment’s Clifford’s Puppy Days. For preschool viewers, she penned multiple stories for the Emmy-nominated Little Bear and Oswald. She has worked on the staffs of several Nickelodeon shows, including the Emmy-nominated hit Clarissa Explains it All and The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo. Since 1991, Suzanne Collins has been busy writing for children’s television. it kind of feels like a new series with a new story almost, just because of the different characters and setting. the crossover with characters from RAs ‘the wrath and the dawn’ series!?!!?!?! (like, is this even possible?!?! i have no idea how thats going to work but im willing to see her try)but with all that aside, i still found this to be pretty light-hearted and enjoyable. the pacing is pretty consistent up until the 80%ish mark and then utter chaos descends (i went and got an ebook because i thought my copy was missing chapters - the massive skips and time jumps between scenes and just the overall disjointedness of the ending is out of control - i still feel like im missing at least 5 chapters worth of story) the set up for the story is for arjun to find a healer and pippa to find celine, but they never actually actively do this (i understand that RA is trying to get the reader to know arjun and pippa better, and i enjoyed seeing them in the land of fae, but it felt weird to ignore the plot that was introduced in the beginning) taking the two old main characters and making them feel completely different (celine and bastian get major downgrades personality-wise in this, for the whole two pages they make an appearance lol) Things that caught me off guard and how i feel about them: - making two side characters now be the main characters (but i ended up loving arjun and pippa, so honestly, not the biggest deal) This wasnt the book i was expecting, there are a lot of decisions RA made that im not quite sure i understand, but i still enjoyed this overall.
