Received for Review:
An Echo of Things to Come by James Islington
Since reading the first book in Islington’s series, I’ve been anxiously awaiting the sequel. This is definitely something fans of The Wheel of Time should check out! Thanks to Orbit for the finished copy.
The Court of Broken Knives by Anna Smith Spark
This is one of my most highly anticipated debut novels for 2017 and I got my hands on a finished copy thanks to Orbit.
Assassins are always a fun feature in a fantasy novel, so I had to snag an audio copy of this one. Thanks to Orbit and Hachette Audio for the audiobook!
A Secret History of Witches by Louisa Morgan
This was a surprise ARC arrival from Redhook that I hadn’t heard of, but I have to say it sounds awesome!
The Punch Escrow by Tal M. Klein
This book sounds incredibly awesome and I can’t wait to dive in to a new sci-fi adventure! Thank you to the publisher for providing a finished copy.
Night of Cake & Puppets by Laini Taylor
I’m pretty stoked about getting an ARC of this from The Novl, since this is my first book from them and I LOVE Laini Taylor’s writing. This is a cute little novella about Zuzana and Mik’s date night.
My Purchases:
Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare
I decided to catch up on this series with the audio version of Lord of Shadows. Not a bad format, but the story was not as awesome as I hoped. Review to come.
Kushiel’s Dart by Jacqueline Carey
This was a free ebook from Tor.com (check out their monthly newsletter for info!) that I’ve been curious about for some time. Not sure when I’ll ever have time to read it!

I liked ‘Kushiel’s Dart’! It’s a bit slow, but beautifully written and lots of the characters were super likeable! Hope you like it as well 🙂

Sounds great! I’ve only heard positive things about it, so I’m pretty sure I’ll like it.

An Echo of Things to Come sounds promising with that reference to WoT. Definitely going to wait until more of it is out though. Hope I don’t forget about this author in doing that though 😀

Fortunately it’s only a trilogy, so you won’t have to wait for 10 years 😛

It’s kind of sad, isn’t it, when we consider a “trilogy” practically a standalone?
Anyway, glad to hear. I’ll probably wait until book 2 comes out, that way by the time I get around to them the final book will be out and I’ll be all set 🙂

Oh, I must have mis-read. I thought Echo was book 1 and you were already waiting for book 2. Well, this IS good news!
