I yearn to be in a different reality. somewhere far away from here, where I can live my life on the edge and not cowering away in fear.
I want the thrill, and I ache for more than this world has ever offered me. I want to see it all, just… not from here. Anywhere else except for here—
Somewhere I can be me,
Living with more then just the idea of philosophy.

This might sound like a stupid question but what are some Hanukkah themes I could explore in writing? Like Christmas is (supposed) to be all about goodwill and giving to others but i wanted to know more about the Jewish point of view.
Hanukkah is about avoiding assimilation into majority society, which is (part of) why it’s so frustrating to see Jewish characters being depicted celebrating Christmas. the holiday is AGAINST assimilation! jews were being forced to assimilate so it’s also a struggle for freedom, if you look at it that way
theres also the miracle of the oil and having trust in Gd to provide…the oil was only supposed to last for one night but lasted for eight etc. we were able to rededicate the temple because of that
[yes, some jews celebrate christmas, and jews in interfaith families exist - but that’s not a nuance that’s depicted generally, it’s just “everyone does christmas!!”]

Blinded by faith, I hold on to Tristan’s vow to keep my family safe.
Even after learning my parents aided disloyal angels hell-bent on
destroying the world, he stays by my side.
When whispers and
suspicions continue, Tristan is forced to choose between his angelic
family or the daughter of traitors. Even as he distances himself from
me, I hold on to the hope our friendship will prevail.
But when
the angels come for me, it is another who fights for my life. Friends
turn to enemies, and protectors become traitors. Deceit and betrayal
surround me, and I don’t know where to turn. Tristan’s promises may be
the greatest deception of all.My Review: 5 STARS
I
read through the first book and devoured the second in one sitting. I
adored the worldbuilding, the viewpoint from Tristan and Karenna and the
way the story was woven into the words. I adored it, and will be
following this series onto the next book. Castillo has a way with words
that makes you want to keep turning the page and try and guess what
comes next. The whole cast of characters were three-dimensional and the
character arcs were pleasant to see through to the end. And that ending
almost killed me! Highly recommended!Join
