The writing sometimes struggles at times, but other times it was very beautiful. The ratio of male to female characters in this book is vastly improved over the last book which I appreciated. Also Ghost was clearly described as black and this had no baring on her life, she was just another person, which is fantastic. I did like the new cast of characters, which was interesting and unique with their own voice. Thus this book is more of a companion book then a sequel. In the second book it seemed as though the world lived on like the big things that happened in the previous book did not happen. I would have liked to have learned more about those consequences and the ramifications. However, this book – a sequel to the previous book – ignored important world consequences that would have happened as a result of the previous book. On one hand this is a good thing as it didn’t follow the typical trend of a series. I thought I had an idea about where this book was going to go, yet it didn’t go there. I really loved the first book in this trilogy – in fact Epic is currently my top new read of the year thus far – so I wanted to read more. However, progress in life and a read book! I was doing so well with my challenge, then life happened.
Its goal is to enrich our understanding of the social complexity of the movement and the era more generally.Well this is the first book I have managed to finish in about 2-3 months. This project proposes a close examination of the Latin sources for the Second Crusade with a view to creating a comprehensive understanding of the social content of these texts.The Second Crusade (1146 - 8): A social analysis.Climates of Conflict in Ancient Babylonia (CLICAB).This research aims to investigate climatic changes in Babylonia during the final eight centuries BCE and assess for linkages to patterns of violence and conflict, through the application of historical climatology to the wealth of data available. We also hypothise that any "climate-conflict linkages" vary meaningfully through time according evolving socioeconomic, political and cultural background in which climatic changes and extreme weather occurred. This project hypothesises that climatic changes, including periods of drought, flooding and other extreme weather, are linked to patterns of violence and conflict in the Ancient Near East.
