![]() Familiarity aside I’d have picked The Doors of Eden up based on the synopsis anyway. Clarke Award-winning author, after all, and there is a certain level of writing you expect from that even if you aren’t familiar with the author. ![]() As the synopsis states, Tchaikovsky is an Arthur C. So yes, I did go into this book with a high level of anticipation. From that point, I knew that any new releases I was going to check out because I knew they would be incredible. ![]() I’ve only read one other book by Tchaikovsky (Empire in Black and Gold, the first book of his Shadows of the Apt fantasy series), however, I've had the pleasure of interviewing him and got to see the mind of a creative writer at work. As soon as I saw one of his books listed on NetGalley I hit apply. There are some authors that draw me in by their name only and Adrian Tchaikovsky is one of them. I just don’t want anyone to be caught unaware.

Poe is grouped with other writers in the Romantic period. “Abandoned, misunderstood, and broke throughout his life, few would have predicted that Poe would one day achieve the fame and respect now offered him in literacy circles in America and Europe particularly France” (“The Fall of the House of Usher” – Analysis, 5). These tragedies might be the answer to why Poe wrote in a way that confuses most of his readers. His life was filled with tragedies that started when he was ten months old and until he died t age forty. Edgar Allen Poe was born in Boston on January 19, 1809. Poe’s mind works this way, and critics believe this statement, especially when related to this story.
