Aerisia begins in the real world and gets interesting with a stump. No, really! From the corner of the main character’s eye, this stump might be a bear, a wolf, a stray dog, a monk in flowing robes… Love the departure from the norm with that last item, and the setup for magic.

Teaser Tuesday: Tuck
So. Tuck, by Stephen R. Lawhead. Book three of the so-far amazing King Raven trilogy. It took far longer to finish book 2 than I planned—and then I remembered that I have to read a book a week to get through everything in my TBR stack. And, well, insomnia. At least it’s good for something! I think I enjoyed book 1 better, but only barely. I love the history, the setting, the very real situations, choices, and setbacks the characters face. There was a spot in Scarlet that had me surreptitiously teary… It’s funny, but when I’m all by myself […]
Teaser Tuesday: Scarlet
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Books And A Beat. Scarlet, by Stephen R. Lawhead… You may recall that I talked about re-reading Hood (Book 1 of the King Raven Trilogy) not too long ago. Once again, I loved it. Lawhead sets the tale in Wales and in an earlier time period than our current translations—and gives a fantastic explanation of why he did so. He is one of the few writers who can wax lyrical without losing my interest. He writes beautifully: the people are fabulously characterized, the settings are beautiful. Rhapsodizing over one of the […]
Teaser Tuesday: Hood
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Books And A Beat. I read Hood: Book 1 of the Raven King, by Stephen R. Lawhead a while back, loved it, and soon had books 2 and 3 added to my shelves—but I never read them! Hubby did. Ever since then, he’s been pestering me to read them. And I wanted to! I just had other commitments to read first. And now I don’t. Yay! It’s been so long since I read the first one that I’ve decided to read it again so that I can enjoy the full, wonderful […]

Teaser Tuesday: Tower of Bones, by Connie J. Jasperson. “Friedr answered the door, wearing a red shirt with red and yellow flowers neatly embroidered…”
Teaser Tuesday: Children of Earth and Sky (2)
I am enjoying the depth of the setting. There are characters with story lines so different they couldn’t possibly cross. What, for instance, has the resentful new ambassador got to do with the orphaned, wannabe pirate raider girl? And what’s the duke going to do with the doctor? Or the artist? Of course, I must read on.

“It was why she had a chance to do what she was out here to do tonight. She wasn’t, Danica knew, an especially conventional young woman.”
