Blogging - The conclusion

In this post i woll talk about blogging as a tool to work with a book.

I don't know if I have learnt anything special from my experience with blogging. There has not been any markable difference in the learning I have done from this blogging period than from just reading the book, but I have noticed that I used a considerable amount of more time than usual. This is the only markable difference that I have noticed because it made the boring parts of the book even more boring because i had to put even more attention what they said and did even if it was boring. That was actually okay, but I was kinda expecting to get more in to the plot and that I would think the really interresting part would be even more rewarding, but unfortunatively this wasn't the case. This is the biggest dissapointment from this reading project.
I don't know if it was my bad attitude to write a blog about my reading project, but if I actually didn't mind blogging about it I think I would have a much more interresting and fun.
Oh well, i guess I read more closely and got even more of the story, but since it wasn't such an exciting book as I had hoped for this blogging project turned out negatively.

Edvard signing out.

For several years I worked with profoundly deaf children in schools, and spoke with them through signs. Marnie's dealing with Raven -- her difficulties, frustration, despair, joy, and triumph -- are all thins i have experienced."

The setting - The scene


The setting is in a fantasy world and in the great nation in this world, Navora. It is a world with medieval touch where the greatest fortunes are trading and healing. Doctors in this world have usually high rank in the society and they are called healers because they possesses  magical abilities like removing pain (while in a surgery) or interpreting dreams. The setting follows the main character Gabriel on his way to become a great healer that is also written about in ancient prophecies to change the world to the better.

Here is a map that is in one of the first pages of the book:
