孩子第一套社會人文素養小百科──
★生活化的情境，從孩子的視角看世界
★啟發式的問題，讓孩子從感興趣到主動思考
★一頁一主題，涵蓋基本觀念、真實案例與全球重大議題
用人物對話結合生動圖解，將知識融入真實案例，
讓10到99歲都能從這套書輕鬆認識世界、了解自己，
認知自我與社會、世界的連結，具備因應未來的能力！
哲學其實非常酷！它不但是知識的起源和根本，也是每個人都需要的工具，你可以試著想像以下的情境：
當你和其他人討論事情，該怎麼表達自己的想法，才是好的、有效的論述？
當你好奇為什麼要信仰神，有什麼方式可以證明神的存在／或不存在？
當政府的規定讓你感到不自由、不方便，有什麼好理由讓你覺得應該／或不應該遵守？
只要你開始思考這些問題，就是在進行哲學探究！
哲學不是只有哲學家感興趣的學問，而是一種思考的工具、辯證的方式，甚至可以是一種生活準則！這本書最適合正要開始探問「我是誰？我從哪裡來？要往哪裡去？」或者「為什麼我應該這樣？不應該那樣？」的10歲孩子，從認識哲學家如何提出疑問、論證自己的主張和信念開始，解開各種對生命、對世界的大哉問！
世界不斷改變，翻開這本書，
每個孩子都能輕鬆培養社會、科學、人文素養，
成為不被AI取代的未來人才！
有時候，你會不會忍不住想……
◆為什麼我應該相信書上說的？◆什麼是真的？什麼是假的？
◆什麼叫做好？怎樣算是壞？◆該怎麼做才對？由誰說了算？
◆為什麼我認為美的事物，其他人不一定認同？
別懷疑，你所思考這些，全都是哲學問題！
「哲學」這個詞源自於古希臘語，意思是「愛智慧」，
因為數千年來，人們不斷在探究一些最根本、最普遍的「大哉問」，
各種知識才逐漸成形，許多有用的思考邏輯和論證方式也因而建立。
雖然許多哲學家思索的問題非常大，而且沒有標準答案，
例如：生命的意義是什麼？宇宙有沒有盡頭？時間能不能倒流？
你的大腦、你的身體、你的心靈、你的記憶……哪個才能真正代表你？
但是你只要靜下心來、專注思考，
你會發現哲學不但一點都不難，而且既實用又有趣！
※快來翻開這本書，跟著哲學家長智慧、學思辯！
★充滿啟發性的提問與對答
★簡單而生活化的實例
★深入淺出的文字
★活潑生動的插畫
★腦洞大開的思想實驗
帶你進入美妙的哲學世界！

Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Queen of Roses (Blood of a Fae #1) by Briar Boleyn
Genre General Fiction ( Adult), Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Romance
“More primordial than the stars. My name was on his lips as he promised unspeakable darkness to any who came between us.”
Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
I’m a big fan of “touch her, and you die” vibes, but I mean, what’s also not to love about a unique Arthurian retelling with gender twists, a treacherous royal court, a dangerous quest, magical Fae & mystical monsters, entwined with a bit of spice!
Morgan, Princess of Pendrath and true heir to the throne has spent most of her life dimming her light to feel safe and to make others comfortable. She is treated as an outcast in the court and repressed by her family due to the blood of the Fae within her and forced to join the Temple of the Three as a priestess in training to one day replace Merlin.
Her brother, King Arthur, who reminds me of Joffrey from Game of Thrones, later tells her that he has other plans and offers her a choice of the Temple or to marry her off for political gain, unless… that is, she can journey through the great unknown and return with a long-lost fae weapon with enchanted powers known as Excalibur.
Her quest begins with a roguish crew that includes the mysterious, arrogant, and heart-tuggingly handsome Captain of the Royal Guard, Kairos Draven, whom she can’t decide if she wants to stab or indulge in pleasure with.
Along the way are plenty of surprises, mystical creatures, and betrayal, all while Morgan uncovers more of the truth about herself and who she can trust.
This book had intriguing storylines and lovable characters that kept me turning pages and wanting more. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds and comes together in book 2, Court of Claws, which I just started reading!!
Read if you’re into-
Dark Fantasy/Romance
Slow–Burn

Fae
Arthurian Legend

3.5 stars, A little boring to say the least.
Format: Kindle
Wow so I'm not sure where to begin on this one. This was a very different take on the legend of Arthur and Excalibur. This is told from the point of view of Morgan the sister of Arthur. Honestly the first 50% of this book is world building and character building which unfortunately was super boring for me. Morgan to me was a female MC that had a hard time in believing in herself. Sometimes taking too long to understand exactly what was going on around her. Draven was also a different male MC, like I couldn't put my finger on him and what he was all about. It was not until the last 10% of the book did we get some answers on the mystery that is Draven. The other 50% of the book centered around this big journey with everyone having a different motive. We see a spark of magic around this time that had me excited but then we never expanded upon that and what it could mean for the female MC. I feel like I want to read the second book just to see where this goes, but the spice was probably a 2 out of 5. Side characters are ok, Lancelet was fun but I almost felt like I wanted more.

A bewitching retelling of Arthurian legend!
Format: Kindle
In a land where the Fae have nearly become only a legend and those who still posses even a morsel of the blood are few and far between, Morgan finds herself cast aside by most of society due to her rumored half-Fae lineage, including her brother, King Arthur. With the kingdom at the brink of war, Arthur entrusts her with a quest to retrieve a Fae weapon of legendary power: the sword of Perun, Excalibur. Accompanied by men she loathes, Captain Kairos Draven and Ragnar Whitehorn, she embarks on her long and unbeknownst perilous journey, only to find that things she once believed to be myth are in fact very real. With devastating twists, omitted truths, witty banter and fierce action, Queen of Roses leaves you begging to know more about the secrets of Aercanum!
Wow, wow, wow! Going into this story, I did not realize that it was going to be a retelling of Arthurian legend, especially not one with a fantastical twist! The unique spin almost gave me The Witcher vibes and I think adding Fae into the mix was quite interesting. I knew the basics of the legend but after reading this book, it has piqued my interest and makes me want to learn more about it. My attention was snatched as soon as I finished the prologue and I knew that I was going to devour this story. I truly enjoyed the gender swaps and even how Arthur was portrayed as villainous. Morgan’s past and even her parts of her present is absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her at times. I can only recall one other book that made me hate characters the way I despised Florian and Arthur, leaving me with my blood boiling and feeling disgusted. Even after finishing the book, Draven is still a mystery to me and I cannot figure out how to feel about him. I guess they just means that the author did an excellent job at conveying each character’s persona! The rich world building and imagery made it easy for me to visualize the places that the group visited along their journey. I am truly engulfed in this story and I cannot wait to see wait fate awaits Morgan and how the Fae will be even more incorporated in the next book!.

Enchanting
Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle.
One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed.
However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience.
Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages.
