Tome Thursday: The Grand Shahala

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome to tonight's book of choice!

 

I'm so very, very excited to share this one with you, because, one, I've loved this author from the minute I picked up her very first book release, and two, it's just such a good story!

 

I mean, does it have a few kinks that maybe could do with some ironing out? Yes, of course.

 

But what book doesn't?

 

I think the only one I ever read where I DIDN'T feel that another edit might be appropriate was The Lord of the Rings, and THAT should tell you something LOL.

 

In any event; I was super lucky to join the early ARC team for this one, so I got to read it before it even released. How's that for some charm, eh??

 

And now it's been officially released into the wider world on June 16th, so my review is basically right on time!

 

Without further ado, we're jumping straight into The Grand Shahala.

 

Tome Thursday: Cobweb Bride

Hello everyone!

Back with the first book review of the new year, and BOY do I have a kicker for you!

I mean, to be fair, I saved it because it sort of sounded like something I might potentially enjoy, and then some, but at the time when I took it from the Kobo free book offer, I stashed it away and didn't feel like reading it quite yet.

Then after over-indulging in Christmas books and all that other gooey stuff, I needed something else to clear my head.

Oh, and I have to load Drums of Autumn again. Why did I delete it off my ereader?

I don't know, Kobo; I truly don't know.

But I digress.

Tonight's blog post is about a book that's just ... it was SO GOOD. I couldn't put it down, even though I'd spent a lot of time translating, my eyes were smarting and the letters were dancing.

But Cobweb Bride refused to let me out of her web until I got to the final dot.
