So it's cover central around here lately. But I can't help but post these lovely pretties as they are revealed. Today Leah Cypess brings us the cover for her upcoming companion novel to the excellent Mistwood
--Nightspell
.
This is not a direct sequel but rather a standalone novel set in the same universe. Nightspell
, like Mistwood
, centers on a strong female lead. Her name is Darri and she's facing down a handful of insanely complex family issues, a land where the dead walk, and a handsome ghost prince. Um, yes please! I honestly can't wait to get my hands on it. Due out May 31st.
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...
It's beautiful!!! I love how her face blends with the background...and that CASTLE. *LOVE*
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this! :)
This looks great. I'm so excited for this. I loved Mistwood.
ReplyDeleteThis is so gorgeous. I loved MISTWOOD, and am definitely looking forward to this. :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's really pretty. My only thought was that when I first saw it the N looks like an R.
ReplyDeleteOoh. Fun. I just finished Mistwood last night. It was excellent in so many ways and choked full of surprises. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteAnd, can I just say, that I have been going through some serious Angieville withdrawals these last couple weeks. It's a compliment. I'm just a big fan. grin.
Oooh Nightspell looks gorgeous! I'm glad Leah Cypess decided to write a companion novel to Mistwood. I hope this one is just as good as her first book.
ReplyDeleteEeee me neither! Now how can we cajole Leah Cypess into giving us ARCs of her next masterpiece...?
ReplyDeleteOh, it's lovely! Thanks for posting. I too cannot wait to get my hands on this.
ReplyDeleteI liked Mistwood but didn't love it as much as some, but this one sounds super intriguing. The cover is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow, that cover is just so pretty I would have bought it for that reason alone!
