Times tables show watchdog Oflog is Gove's Tory poodle

The Conservative government handed ‘fundamentally flawed’ data about local councils to a Murdoch-owned newspaper for publication just days before this month’s local elections. By our Town Hall reporter, KEN LEE Manipulative: under Michael Gove, Oflog is less a watchdog, more a political poodle If Jason Perry, Croydon’s part-time Mayor, had any hopes that Oflog, supposedly the new regulator for…

Book Review: Kill the Queen by Jennifer Estep

A new adult fantasy, allegedly a romance, focusing on the unproabably high number of assassination attempts against the royal family of the kingdoms, almost all of which are against our darling MC Everleigh becuase she’s Speshul.

Pretty standard backstory for her: parents brutally murdered in front of her when she was 12, none of her other relatives wanted to take her in, so she’s spent the last 10 years living in the palace as like the 23rd person in line to the throne.

She doesn’t have much magic (in book 1 at least), and is a useless extra royal cousin. But it’s okay she has a plan to makde her own life. Because she’s been working both in the dessert kitchen of the palace, and with the magical jewelry maker/metal worker dude. So she has marketable skills!

And then the entire royal family is brutally murdered in front of her eyes and she’s the only one who survives. Of course the next reasonable thing to do after this traumatic even is to go join a traveling gladiator troup and fight for entertainment. These kinds oflogical decisions will continue through the whole series.

So the book starts with the sentence “the day of the Massacre of the Seven Towers began just like any other” and then it take 100 pages to actually get to the massacre. The inciting incedent doesn’t happen until 100 pages into the story.

The writing is very repetetive, and everything is described in minute detail. The repetitiveness partially comes from how often throughout the series that people’s eye color is described. And the eye color matches up to which royal family you’re from because of course it does. Even people without special eyes get their features described over and over again. As part of the magic system, some people can transform into different forms, such as dragons or ogers. The people who can do this have a mark on their neck in the shape of what they can turn into. And this detail is brought up every single time one of those characters comes on page. Sometimes in the 2nd and 3rd books it seemed like these tattoos were animated??? and could have emotions??? Were they sentient this whole time???

Unfortunately for the reader most of the book is spent inside of Everleigh’s own head. And boy does she have a lot of thoughts. Especially in the 2nd and 3rd books she’ll spend several pages thinking through a decision before actually moving the narrative forward. It definitely does get tiring to read after a while. There are also flashbacks to various traumatic events in her childhood. In narrative they’re usually nightmares. They’re always relevant to what’s going on in the plot so we get this detailed narration of the past, and then an immediate connection to how she can solve her current problems.

In case you couldn’t tell, I do not think this is a good book. Or a good series. But. It is absolutely the perfect thing to read while on vacation and sitting out on the porch. The plot is not at all hard to follow, and since all of Everleigh’s thought are explained on page,you don’t have to use your own brain to connect narrative threads. Just stare at the pretty black squiggles on the page and let yourself be transported to a very dumb world with a very high number of dead monarchs. The writing style lends itself well to getting reading momentum, if only to get it over with more quickly.

Pro tio: when reading, try to avoid reading Everleigh’s whole name like the opening to My Immortal

Get Great Summer Fun with Best Log Cabins

Residential log homes have recently become increasingly popular. In an age of linked clutter, it appears that simplification is making a comeback. But what exactly is it about Garden log Cabins which so many people are drawn to? For the most part, these cabins provide a glimpse into the realm of simplicity. This is an ideal world for just about any summer traveller wishing to get far from it all.

Inside and out, enjoy nature.

A Garden cabin is the place to go for fishing, hunting, hiking, or simply relaxing in the nice summer air. It provides a lovely respite from the day's activities, and yet when evening arrives, you'll appreciate the wooden ambience as you rest in for the night. In a world when so much of life is manufactured, the natural environment makes you feel right at home. You have the ideal location to escape the continual noise and commotion of modern life. You can take your time and appreciate your surroundings without missing anything.

Summer is most people's only chance to get away from the office and reconnect with nature. If talking about Log Cabins then they are ideal for spending long summer nights with individuals you care about. They provide tiny, charming style at an accessible price, as well as traditional class with a contemporary look that can be customised. Most people like the rustic outside, but who says the interior has to be the same? In Cheap log Cabins, you can add your own personal touch and realise your wildest interior design fantasies. Simply browsing can overwhelm you with fantastic décor ideas.

Vacations are more enjoyable in a domestic log cabin.

44mm Log cabin can provide for a terrific destination break. However, if you already possess a good piece of land, creating your own cabin is unlikely to be difficult. Of course, if you aren't up to the work of sawing your own logs, you'll find a plethora of contracting businesses that will survey your land and make you your dream Multi room Log Cabin in a fraction of the time and expense of a standard brick and mortar house.

Have you got a limited Christmas spending budget? Residential log cabins could be rented or purchased, although neither option is cheap. Residential log cabins, as opposed to opulent country vacation cottages, provide just about enough space for what you require. Most cabins are 6m by 11m, but you may certainly find solutions that are larger or smaller to meet your needs. Flat pack Log cabin can be fixed or mobile, and even mobile variants can include 4 bedrooms, an en-suite, a lounge, a cafeteria, and a dining area. More time spent together as family and friends equals less time spent repaying energy costs or cleaning the vacant second bedroom.

Making the best decision

With such a great need ofLog cabins for sale, the difficult aspect is deciding how you want yours to look. You can obviously go with the standard A-frame style, or you can go for something a little more elegant, stunning, or appealing.

Gove finally admits it: Localism got councils all in a Pickles

Is the Levelling Up minister in denial about the extent of financial problems in local government? It certainly seems that way after his speech to the Local Government Association conference yesterday. By STEVEN DOWNES Minimising: ‘Seriously, the problem is only this big’… Michael Gove did not say at yesterday’s LGA speech Michael Gove, the Secretary of State for local government who has council…
