And here, in all its awesome, is the cover for Ascendant
--the second book in Diana Peterfreund's killer unicorns series. I love it. I love it from the complicated look on Astrid's face, to the scroll work on the sword, to the slightly lighter overall tones. Yep. It's gonna look just swell next to my copy of Rampant
. What do you guys think? And if you'd like a chance to win an ARC of Ascendant
, Diana's giving one away right now! I love what you have to do to enter--comment with a 6-word work of fiction. Check it out.
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...
I love that cover! Thanks for posting it :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's such a beautiful cover! I haven't read Rampant although I'm curious about it. Killer unicorns sound awesome.
ReplyDeleteprophecygirl, my pleasure. I've been eagerly awaiting it!
ReplyDeleteChachic, isn't it? Yeah, the killer unicorns are nothing but win. I'm anxious to see where Astrid and the gang go in this one.
It's such a beautiful cover! I just love, love, love it. I can't wait to read it; I just finished Rampant a couple weeks ago and I'm hungry for more!

ReplyDeleteKiller unicorns? Okay, even if the cover wasn't amazing, I am now very interested by the killer unicorns :)
Kay, yup. Having just finished RAMPANT you are primed for this baby!
ReplyDeleteCat, lol. Hie thee to a bookstore/library near you and get your hands on RAMPANT. She really knocks the whole killer unicorn thing out of the park. Truly.
