...when it comes to Lady Julia and Brisbane. Barnes & Noble has put up an excerpt from Deanna Raybourn's upcoming Silent on the Moor and I settled in to read it without batting an eye. The book's not due out for a month but who are we kidding? I'll take what I can get. And what I got was excellent. Enjoy.
It really is a pretty cover. And dragons. I love them so. It's been far too long since I've read a book in which dragons played any kind of primary character role. They do here, and they are probably my favorite aspect of this book. But more on that later. It's probably worth noting that I, like the rest of the world, was aware of Fourth Wing and the collective losing of BookTok's mind over it. I mean, it was kind of thrilling to hear that you couldn't find a copy anywhere—in the sense that I love it when books are being consumed and loved. And when that happens in such a way that it takes publishing by surprise (for lack of a better way to phrase it) so much so that they have to scramble to print more. So I did the sensible thing and bought the ebook. And then I proceeded to do the not-so-sensible-but-extremely-Angie thing and not read it. There was a cross-country move tucked in there somewhere between the buying and the reading, but more on that at a later date...
Ooh, I can't wait for "Silent on the Moor" to come out!
ReplyDeleteI know. I'm actually falling asleep at night ruminating on what will happen. Gonna be a long month...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting that link! Amazon irksomely cut off the excerpt at a good part. (Grumble, grumble.) I know what I'll be reading March 1st!
ReplyDeleteGrin. You bet, Chelle. I was a bit disgruntled at the cutoff as well.
