Happy Friday everyone! This week I'm spotlighting one of my Trope-ical Readathon books, His Majesty's Dragon (Temeraire #1) by Naomi Novik. This author has been hit and miss with me, but I think I'm going to like this historical fantasy. It sounds really cool at least.
Beginning:
The deck of the French ship was slippery with blood, heaving in the choppy sea; a stroke might as easily bring down the man making it as the intended target.
56:
Laurence stopped in a coffeehouse and wrote Sir Edward a quick note with his direction, briefly explaining his circumstances and asking for permission to call.
Have you read this book? Are you participating in this challenge? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting below!
Sounds interesting. I don't usually care much for fantasy books, but, hey, there's a quote from Stephen King on the cover, so maybe that's a good sign the book is actually good.
ReplyDeleteI was pleasantly surprised to find out it's just become a favorite of the year. 🙂
DeleteWhere is all the blood coming from? I guess I'd have to read on to find to out.
ReplyDeleteI can't recommend it enough.
