What a beautiful cover. I remember when I first saw it my initial thought was, Oh, please don't let it suck . I know that sounds harsh, but sometimes a cover just calls out to you and you know when you finally hold a physical copy of the book itself you'll just want to stroke it and love it and tell it it's found its home on your shelves. Unfortunately, the innards (as my boy is fond of saying) don't always match the outtards. And then I am forced to cry. Because . . . so pretty. So when a review copy of Stacey Jay 's Juliet Immortal came my way, I held my breath. Just a bit. Okay, maybe for the first five pages or so. Thankfully, that's all it took. Because this innovative retelling (of sorts) of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has teeth. And they sank into me with delicious ferocity. This was my first foray with Stacey Jay , though I know she has a handful of books already out. After this encounter, I look forward to checking out her other work. Juliet...
Hey, another Tamora Pierce fan! :-)
ReplyDeleteWe still have one whole year to wait??! It feels like forever since her last book came out.
Ugh, it has been forever. If I'd realized how long it was going to be, I'd have savored Terrier longer. :)

ReplyDeleteThat's a series I need to read. A year between is a long time. but the cover is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI know. The first one is very good.
ReplyDeleteOh cool! But yeah...a year seems like forever. I am liking the cover, can't wait for this one to come out. Tamora Pierce is awesome.
ReplyDeleteHey, Thea. She is indeed awesome. And I love that she went back in time for this series. It's so cool to see Corus and Tortall hundreds of years before Alanna's time.
