(Eagel-eyed readers may remember that Jonathan has a cameo in sequel Husband Material. The story is set in the same world as Boyfriend Material but focuses on a brand new couple, Jonathan and Sam. The third installment in Hall’s London Calling universe, 10 Things That Never Happened, is set to arrive this Fall and kick off the author’s new Material World spin-off series. (And what I’m saying is, there’s a reason for that.) From his utterly charming Winner Bakes All series-a series of delicious romantic comedies centered around a competitive baking show-to the upcoming Regency historical fantasy Mortal Follies, Hall is one of the most prolific and popular romance writers working today. A popular writer of queer romance, fantasy and historicals, Hall’s books seem to be everywhere at the moment, and with good reason. The book's messages come from morals and logic that could be found in any spiritual or religious text, or simply in a moral, logical, or philosophical context devoid of any religious influence entirely.If, for some reason, you have yet to read any of Alexis Hall’s books, now might be the time to think about changing that. The book does not preach Buddhist 'truths' or insist upon the adoption of any particular doctrine. All the stories convey a message of patience, persistence, peacefulness, and intellect.Īside from the obvious re-incarnation references made in the book, this book is entirely religion-neutral. All the stories come down to logic, and being mindful to do your best at the disadvantage of no other creature.
Perhaps the crocodile seems sinister and cruel-hearted, but the monkey set in contrast to him can also be seen as rude and selfish with the intention to exploit his fellow critter's weaknesses. No character is good or bad, smart or dumb.they all display aspects of many traits and are incredibly relat'able. I really liked how there were stories within stories within stories.and that you could read each chapter individually for the story it contained, or you could read the whole book front to back for a bigger broader story able to add greater context to any of the individual parts within the whole.Īnother huge plus this book has to offer is story-lines that include faulted-characters.
