Let's talk about those books already on the shelves, yours or the stores.
I have a post for books I'm looking forward to coming out;
Looking Forward To...
But what about all those wonderful books that are ALREADY on the shelves.
Whether it be on your shelf waiting to be read or on the shelves in the stores waiting for you to give it a good home.
So, I thought I would share a book a week that is just waiting for me to travel through it's world.
Now... where do I start? Lets go by Published Date on the books...
This Week:
This one came up on a freebie Friday at Barnes & Nobles, and being a fantasy fan....well, I had to have it. :) I know it's the sixth book in all, but it's the first in the Last Chronicle of the Dread Empire series.
Goodreads Synopsis:
It has ended. It begins again.
In Kavelin: Lady Nepanthe's new life with the wizard Varthlokkur is disturbed by visions of her lost son, while King Bragi Ragnarson and Michael Trebilcock scheme to help the exiled Princess Mist re-usurp her throne—under their thumb. In Shinsan: a pig-farmer's son takes command of Eastern Army, while Lord Kuo faces plots in his council and a suicide attack of two million Matayangans on his border. But in the desert beyond the Dread Empire: a young victim of the Great War becomes the Deliverer of an eons-forgotten god, chosen to lead the legions of the dead.
And the power of his vengeance will make a world's schemes as petty as dust, blown wild in the horror that rides the east wind.
This volume marks the beginning of the end. Reap the East Wind is the first step on the road to the long-delayed final chapter of Glen Cook's legendary Dread Empire series.

Sounds like a great fantasy story!! Hopefully you'll find the time soon to read it. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Nina. I'll have to see what happens with the time here. It gets hard with all these amazing books. :) THank you.
DeleteYou know, I feel like it's been a long time since I read any epic fantasy...perhaps it's time to try one... :-)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same Mel. I'll have to see about starting one. :) Thank you!
DeleteOh that cover is freaky! Looks like a good epic as well!
ReplyDeleteMelissa (B&T) I'm liking that cover. *giggle* And thank you!
DeleteLooks like a book right up your alley. =) gotta say though, those creatures on the bottom right of the cover... Creepy!
ReplyDeleteI thought so too Gina R. :D Thank you! I don't know what those creatures are, but I would love to find out. LOL! Thank you.
DeleteI don't think I'm a fan of fantasy books, I could read one but it has to be awesome, they are fun and all but I don't know. A book I have and I've been wanting to read has to be The Third Twin by Ken Follet, I've started it twice but I can't seem to get past chapter 4, I don't know why, I liked the movie and I'm sure the book is better. I do want to see how the real plot unfolds.
ReplyDeleteRivie Bleu, that's okay. I understand. There are genre's I don't read either. :) I do have a weakness for fantasy though. lol. I've not heard of The Third Twin, but sounds interesting. Thank you.
