The book I chose for this week is:
(Earthsinger Chronicles #1)
by L. Penelope
Synopsis:
Orphaned and alone,
Jasminda lives in a land where cold whispers of invasion and war linger
on the wind. Jasminda herself is an outcast in her homeland of Elsira,
where her gift of Earthsong is feared. When ruthless soldiers seek
refuge in her isolated cabin, they bring with them a captive--an injured
spy who threatens to steal her heart.
Jack's mission behind
enemy lines to prove that the Mantle between Elsira and Lagrimar is
about to fall nearly cost him his life, but he is saved by the healing
Song of a mysterious young woman. Now he must do whatever it takes to
save Elsira and its people from the True Father and he needs Jasminda's
Earthsong to do it. They escape their vicious captors and together
embark on a perilous journey to save Elsira and to uncover the secrets
of The Queen Who Sleeps.
Thrust into a hostile society, Jasminda
and Jack must rely on one another even as secrets jeopardize their bond.
As an ancient evil gains power, Jasminda races to unlock a mystery that
promises salvation.
The fates of two nations hang in thebalance
as Jasminda and Jack must choose between love and duty to fulfill their
destinies and end the war.
In the beginning, there was silence.
The book starts with an origin tale that describes how the world was created. I loved that bit.
The Friday 56:
"Jasminda, don't mistake me. You are like nothing I ever thought possible. Like no one else I have ever met. And I am glad of it. You are remarkable."
Jack is a caring guy. He admires Jasminda a lot, which I find adorable.
Song of Blood & Stone gets published on May 1st. I joined the blog tour therefore my review will arrive sometime around the end of April. I'm enjoying this novel immensely so far.
