I fell in love with the cover of Alexandra Bracken 's debut novel-- Brightly Woven --last fall and the scant synopses I could find at the time certainly piqued my interest. After managing to get my hands on an ARC, I found myself surprised and pleased with this unique fantasy. You can read my review here . As the release date approached, I invited Alex to participate in an interview and giveaway here on the site and, despite her crazy busy schedule, she kindly accepted. Enjoy! First things first: When did the idea for Brightly Woven first hit you and what (if anything) did you know right off the bat?

Hey, another Tamora Pierce fan! :-)

ReplyDeleteThat's a series I need to read. A year between is a long time. but the cover is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI know. The first one is very good.
ReplyDeleteOh cool! But yeah...a year seems like forever. I am liking the cover, can't wait for this one to come out. Tamora Pierce is awesome.
ReplyDeleteHey, Thea. She is indeed awesome. And I love that she went back in time for this series. It's so cool to see Corus and Tortall hundreds of years before Alanna's time.
