Looking back at it now, it was a really solid reading year. I mean, it did its usual (for me) thing and meandered its merry way, here and there, up and down, and in fits and starts across the span of all twelve months. But it really did shape up nicely. Which is a good thing, because it was—shockingly, I know—another year in which we so desperately needed the authors and books and words of the world to come through for us. And they did, didn't they? I am, as ever, so grateful for them and their willingness to push through every barrier and battle that I know must try to keep them from putting their visions on paper.

--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
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.
