Daniel OrtegaÕs authoritarian regime has intensified its political crackdown, stripping 94 Nicaraguans of their citizenship, including some of the Central American countryÕs most celebrated writers and journalists, among them Wilfredo Miranda.

The move was announced by a Nicaraguan judge, sparking renewed condemnation of OrtegaÕs Sandinista government, which has been waging a dogged offensive against perceived rivals since June 2021.

222 political prisoners, including some of NicaraguaÕs leading opposition activists, were deported from Nicaragua and flown to the US Ð a move widely interpreted as a sign of OrtegaÕs determination to remain in power after 16 years as president.

NicaraguaÕs government called the deportees, who were also stripped of their citizenship, Òtraitors to the motherlandÓ.

Those deprived of citizenship included the internationally acclaimed novelist Sergio Ram’rez, the poet and writer Gioconda Belli, the investigative journalist Carlos Fernando Chamorro, the auxiliary bishop of NicaraguaÕs capital, Managua, Silvio B‡ez, and Miranda, an award-winning reporter who writes for the Spanish newspaper El Pa’s and the Guardian.

El Pa’sÕs Americas director, Jan Mart’nez Ahrens, called the decision an act of ÒvilenessÓ that exposed NicaraguaÕs Òtotalitarian driftÓ under Ortega, a 77-year-old former revolutionary icon who helped overthrow the Somoza dictatorship in the 1970s.

Belli, who lives in exile in Spain, responded to having her citizenship removed by publishing one of her poems on Twitter:

ÒAnd I love you homeland of my dreams and my sorrows and I will secretly take you to wash off your stains, to whisper you hope and promise you cures and charms that will save you."

Chamorro, 67, who will give this yearÕs Reuters Memorial Lecture in Oxford, said Ortega and his vice-president and wife, Rosario Murillo, had shown Òenormous political weaknessÓ with their actions. ÒIn Nicaragua, everyone knows the only... traitors are Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo. They have demolished democracy.Ó

Human Rights WatchÕs deputy director for the Americas offered a bleak prognosis for NicaraguaÕs political future under Ortega.

ÒThe country is on the verge of becoming the western hemisphereÕs equivalent of North Korea.Ó

Hence it is imperative that Democracy and Human Rights are restored in Nicaragua.

Otherwise an intervention from the NGO Community will be necessary, to restore the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in Nicaragua.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.
