Review: The Gilded King (Sovereign #1) by Josie Jaffrey
“To the humans of the Blue, red was the colour of monsters.”
★★★★★
I was offered this book by Josie Jaffrey in exchange of an honest review.
I have to start with how much I loved this book. The story flowed on so nicely, it felt really natural to read about Cam and Julia. Everytime the POV changed to the other, I was swept in a whole other story for a chapter. Absolutely incredible.
I kept imagining how this story would make one hell of a TV series or a movie trilogy. The worldbuilding was incredible and I was continuously imagining a world somewhere in between The 100 and The Vampire Diaries/The Originals. That made the journey even more epic. My love for dystopian stories grew very recently and I enjoy every bit of good vampire stories and this book caught the best of both worlds.
I am…

Review: The Silver Queen (Sovereign #2) by Josie Jaffrey
“What blood contaminates, only blood can cleanse.”
★★★★★
I was offered this book by Josie Jaffrey in exchange of an honest review.
This is the second book in this trilogy and even though part one was already absolutely amazing, somehow it got so much better and I just??? I was just talking with someone earlier this week about the whole stigma about self-publishing and the quality of the book and I can really say that Josie Jaffrey is the living proof that the way of publishing says nothing about the book.
It is really hard to write a review about what is so good about a book when you love everything in the book so much. I don’t know where to start, as there is so much. Different sorts of love and romances, LGBT+ representation, every character (even minor ones) having strong and unique personalities and realistic turns of the…

Blogtour | ARC Review: The Blood Prince (Sovereign #3) by Josie Jaffrey
The price of freedom is always paid in blood.
★★★★★
I have received this book for free from Josie Jaffrey in exchange of an honest review.
I am writing this review in honour of the official blog tour for the conclusion of the Sovereign series! I have been aboard the Silververse train since last year and to be there for the end of a trilogy is truly amazing. I look forward to what Josie Jaffrey has in store for the future.
Last month, I participated in the cover reveal The Blood Prince and it made me even excited to finally read it! I read an ARC of it shortly after and I was blown away! Once again a beautifully written book with incredible characters who each got the attention and page time they deserved. A worthy ending of a series.
The Blood Prince starts where The Silver Queen left off…

World Day of Non-Violence: "An Eye for an Eye Ends Up Making the Whole World Blind" (Mahatma Gandhi)
Human Wrongs Watch
In these dramatic and perilous times, United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson urged the international community to reaffirm the power and potential of bringing about change through peaceful means, following in the footsteps of Mahatma Gandhi, who inspired the International Day of Non-Violence, marked on 2 October 2014.

“The response to violence is all too often more violence when, in fact, reconciliation and dialogue is needed,” Eliassonsaid in a special event for the occasion, held at UN Headquarters in New York.
He called for embracing the fundamental values embodied by Gandhi: passion, compassion, and belief in the dignity and equal worth of all human beings.
Eliasson recalled Gandhi’s warning that “an eye for an eye ends up making the whole world blind.”

Gandhi’s Message for Today’s World
Human Wrongs Watch
By John Scales Avery – TRANSCEND Media Service*
2019 is the 150th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi’s birth. Therefore it might be appropriate to look at his life, and his message for today’s world.
.
If humans are ever to achieve a stable global society in the future, they will have to become much more modest in their economic behavior and much more peaceful in their politics. For both modesty and peace, Gandhi is a useful source of ideas.
The problems with which he struggled during his lifetime are extremely relevant to us in the 21st Century, when both nuclear and ecological catastrophes threaten the world.

Gandhi’s Despair
Human Wrongs Watch
‘When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it – always.’ M.K. Gandhi

23 February 2019 (Wall Street International)* – As we remember Gandhi Jayanti on 2 October, the Mahatma’s 149th birthday and the International Day of Nonviolence, there is plenty of room for despair.
Never before has the Earth and its many inhabitants been under siege as they are now, more than 100 years after Gandhi started warning us of the predicament in which we are embroiled and presenting his strategy for addressing it before it spiraled out of control.
