#frightful’s mountain

[vel4sco]

The only books I’ve read in the past 5 years are a silly little book about a bird learning to live in the wild after being in captivity and living on human depency it’s entire life and gay vampire’s who need couples therapy and a double order of seroquel

Title: Frightful’s Mountain

Author: Jean Craighead George

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

Review: The last in the trilogy I wasn’t expecting much as I hadn’t enjoyed the previous novel. While it started off slow in the beginning, seeming more recap of past events then entirely new story, it did manage to grasp my attention. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when the past two novels had been focused on Sam’s story while this was Frightful’s but it was written in a way that felt natural to the conclusion of the trilogy. I will say it was slow going multiple times throughout but all in all I eventually found it enjoyable. Wouldn’t say I’m the target audience so it might be more enjoyable to younger elementary school age readers.

Hi Simon!

I wanted to ask, how's Taka doing? I've always been curious about that bird of yours, and it seems very interesting, I'd love to hear more about it!

~Sincerely,

That Ace.

That Ace,

Taka is well, thank you. Since you are curious, I suppose I could tell you a spell about her. She is a Eurasian Sparrowhawk, and Primarily feasts upon birds, but small rodents will also do.

I say she, which I have determined based on her size and plumage, but she has never laid eggs so I may be mistaken. if accurate, then she is slightly smaller then average, but also faster.

She is deeply intelligent, and has always found her way back to me. I feared when I got her that she would leave once she could hunt for herself, but as often as she leaves, she always comes back.

I allow her free range of everywhere I go, the only exception is if she requires medical attention, which is blessedly rare. She does not care for the anklets, jesses, and hoods typically involved in falconry, so I defer to her preference when possible. This also means should I displease her, she can go. I do not truly think of her as my bird, but as my companion, staying only so long as she is willing.

Perhaps sometime I will tell you how she came to be so.

That’s why they space the cords out like that, so that an angel’s wingspan isn’t wide enough to make a circuit between two cords (that would electrocute it)

do you think angels would perch upon electrical lines and radio towers like birds

sure. looks like a nice spot to share the interesting things they saw lately
