Diana Peterfreund has posted the Killer Unicorns book trailer and I had to re-post it here because it is totally worth a viewing. I love the idea of a series trailer, rather than one for just a single book. Also, how awesome is it to have the trailer actually narrated by the author herself? That way the viewer gets a much more direct insight into the vast array of thoughts and research (and blood, sweat, and tears) that went into the novel. I, for one, am much more likely to pick the book up having been made privy (and in such a stylish way) to all of that. Enjoy!
I fell in love with the cover of Alexandra Bracken's debut novel--Brightly Woven--last fall and the scant synopses I could find at the time certainly piqued my interest. After managing to get my hands on an ARC, I found myself surprised and pleased with this unique fantasy. You can read my review here. As the release date approached, I invited Alex to participate in an interview and giveaway here on the site and, despite her crazy busy schedule, she kindly accepted. Enjoy! First things first: When did the idea for Brightly Wovenfirst hit you and what (if anything) did you know right off the bat? I remember the exact moment it hit me—what I was doing, who I was talking to, what song was playing on iTunes. :) I had just come back from Winter Break my sophomore year in college and was sitting on my bed chatting with my mom. Sophomore year was pretty remarkable in terms of the insane weather that we had in Virginia (where I was in school) but it had also been a bizarre year in Arizon…
Yes, I saw this on Diana's blog yesterday. I love it! Though I wish there was more DIANA!
ReplyDeleteOoh! A book trailer dedicated to a series is a great idea--and it's even better with the actual author in there! I love when I get to see the person who actually WROTE the books, hah. This was a great trailer :D
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen this yet! Awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to get started on this series, and now that I see a girl who can handle a sword I can't wait
ReplyDeleteLenore, true. I got all excited when she was the first thing on there. Really liked this trailer.
ReplyDeletepirate, exactly. It just makes it so much more interesting and human.
Violet, sweet. Glad you enjoyed it. Have you read RAMPANT?
Emily, yep. Astrid is very strong.
I've never heard of this series before, but since I'm about to go back to school and be bombarded with academia, I think I might have to raid the local library to find it. These look fantastic! Thanks for the post!
