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.

Tome Thursday: Cobweb Empire

Hello everyone!

So two weeks back I did a blog post about a very intriguing retelling of the Persephone and Hades story from Greek Mythology.

And yes, I remember.

No, I haven't forgotten that I still have to do the second and third books in the trilogy.

I'll admit, I'm sometimes scatter-brained like that, but for this one time, I'm slightly too invested and too interested to be anything but totally sold on this, and I NEED to finish this.

I managed book two in about one day, more or less.

Sure, I technically took a break to sleep - because sadly, sleep is a must even when we don't want it to be - but I snarfed down the rest the moment I was done with my beauty regeneration and making sure the house would still be standing if I took a mini break from it.

Without further ado, let's stop with the chit-chat, shall we?

Instead, let's dive right into Cobweb Empire.

Tome Thursday: Persephone

Hello everyone!

At this point in time, my love for Greek Mythology is probably not such a well-known fact, despite me actually adoring it more than I adore a lot of things in the long run. The thing is, however, that I haven't had much interest in books about it for a while, that is until I randomly stumbled over one that caught my interest and wouldn't let go.

I can't even say just WHY it happened - though probably it was Bookbub telling me the book was being offered for a low price on Kobo.

I'm talking about Kailtin Bevis's Persephone.

Now, I have already shown in the past that I have this thing for mythology and retellings (can anyone say Percy Jackson with me?), so I was really excited for this. You have to be a total geek to understand my geekiness, but I also needed something to tide me over while I'm hunting for the latest Alison Weir book about Anne Boleyn.

In any event, however, yesterday was spent mostly by sticking my nose into the pages of this book and not looking up until I was done.
