Book Review: Sarah J. Maas' “Crescent City: House of Flame and Shadow”
Sarah J. Maas’ latest installment in the “Crescent City” series, eagerly awaited by fans, fell short of expectations and instead proved to be predictable, tedious and uncharacteristically not a masterpiece.
In “House of Flame and Shadow,” the third book in Maas’ series released on Jan. 30, 2024, we continue to follow Bryce Quinlan’s journey as she navigates a perilous world, striving to overthrow the Asteri while safeguarding her loved ones in the process. The book maintains its familiar structure, narrating chapters and plotlines from different characters’ points of view, including Bryce’s love interest Hunt Athalar, Bryce’s brother Ruhn Danaan and Bryce’s childhood friend and former love interest’s sibling Ithan Holstrom.

Durkheim and Weber: Sharia Law Interpretation
Sharia, often regarded as the cornerstone for Islam’s legal system, serves as a guiding framework for Muslims and Islamic law.
As a primary resource for social, political, and ethical guidance amongst Muslims, the explanations of Sharia from a macro-perspective by sociologists Durkheim and Weber remain relevant and offer insight despite the age of their theories. For comprehension purposes, the Sharia Law requiring women to cover their head for modesty will be used as a brief example, but the explanations will be based upon a macro-encompassing perspective of Sharia Law as a whole.
