Cobweb Bride series (Booktober)


"Fare thee well, and blessed be, beloved!"

 


Trying to pick just one of these three books is absolutely impossible. Why? Because unlike with so many other trilogies where there's a strong beginning and then it all fizzles out, Vera Nazarian's Cobweb Bride has a strong start-up, even stronger middle, and an iron-clad finish. I've always been a sucker for Greek mythology, and this particular retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth is an incredibly unique, mesmerizing take on a tale as old as time.

If you get the chance - look these books up. I promise you, you WON'T regret it!

Many are called. She alone can save the world and become Death's bride. And in a world where no one can die, she alone can kill ... now that she’s Death’s Champion, what will Percy do? For the world is broken … a dark Goddess rises. Percy still has a difficult task to do, the greatest task of all … For in the end the Cobweb Bride awaits, together with the final answer.

Tome Thursday: Cobweb Forest


Hello everyone!

Well, we made it.

Or, at least *I* made it.

The end of a trilogy that I'm still reeling about and trying to wrap my head around, because ... well, just because.

You'll see what I mean through the review itself. 

It's a very original retelling of a myth that's been dear to my heart for a long while now, and I'm SO pleased I picked up the first book when it was offered for free with Kobo. I never would have found the other two otherwise, or the author herself.

As it now happens, I'm hooked and will probably hunt down other books of hers.

When you stumble over something good, readers, you might as well make sure you read it ALL.

But for tonight, for one more night, let's dive into our inner Greek.

Let's take a look at Cobweb Forest, and what happens in it.
