I'm finally almost finished with book one, The Ninth Rain, it's not from it being boring or anything. I've just had a really stressful summer and didn't want that to hamper my enjoyment of the book. So I just read other things instead.
Synopsis:
The Ninth Rain has fallen, the Jure'lia have returned, and with Ebora a shadow of its former self, the old enemy are closer to conquering Sarn than ever.
Tormalin the Oathless and the Fell-Witch Noon have their hands full dealing with the first war-beasts to be born in Ebora for nearly three hundred years. But these are not the great mythological warriors of old; hatched too early and with no link to their past lives, the war-beasts have no memory of the many battles they have fought and won, and no concept of how they can possibly do it again. The key to uniting them, according to the scholar Vintage, may lie in a part of Sarn no one really believes exists, but finding it will mean a dangerous journey at a time of war...
Meanwhile, Hestillion is trapped on board the corpse moon, forced into a strange and uneasy alliance with the Jure'lia queen. Something terrifying is growing up there, in the heart of the Behemoth, and the people of Sarn will have no defence against these new monsters.

'What to do with all the flesh, and all the bone?' That was the question no one had considered, of course.
Friday 56:
Reluctantly, Noon thought of the Behemoth wreck in Esiah Godwort's compound.

Q: Is it hard to find new books in local stores?
A: Unfortunately, I do not have a local bookstore where I live. The closest one is about a 45 minute drive away. I mostly shop online anyway.
I like the quotes. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat beginning certainly catches my attention.
ReplyDeleteReal world stress also makes me put some books aside so they don't get affected by my mood and anxiety, so I'm with you there! And that opening really caught my attention! And the village I'm gonna move to son also doesn't have a bookstore, but thankfully a university town is nearby with plenty! Have a lovely weekend :)

Sounds like an interesting book. Some books also take me longer due to outside circumstances, but I still enjoy them ☺️
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
