Today I'm over @ Dear Author with my review of the first in Mary Ann Rivers' new Burnside Series. You know my feelings on Ms. Rivers' novellas, so it was with much anticipation that I dove into her first full-length novel. After the fact, I have two words for you: Welsh Woodcarver. That is all.
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...
Wow! I have to get this book!!!! I love the premise, because I've been there (unemployed)!
