It really is a pretty cover. And dragons. I love them so. It's been far too long since I've read a book in which dragons played any kind of primary character role. They do here, and they are probably my favorite aspect of this book. But more on that later. It's probably worth noting that I, like the rest of the world, was aware of Fourth Wing and the collective losing of BookTok's mind over it. I mean, it was kind of thrilling to hear that you couldn't find a copy anywhere—in the sense that I love it when books are being consumed and loved. And when that happens in such a way that it takes publishing by surprise (for lack of a better way to phrase it) so much so that they have to scramble to print more. So I did the sensible thing and bought the ebook. And then I proceeded to do the not-so-sensible-but-extremely-Angie thing and not read it. There was a cross-country move tucked in there somewhere between the buying and the reading, but more on that at a later date...
Interesting, I've never heard of either of these books! I'll have to add them to my TBR pile!
ReplyDeleteIf you have given your vow then I do believe this is an author worth checking out :) Nice cover and I just loved the title!
ReplyDeleteThanks - I liked Curse and this looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteI still need to read A Curse Dark as Gold. Have had it my pile forever!
ReplyDeleteMollie, CURSE is lovely and absorbing. I highly recommend it.
ReplyDeleteLadybug, definitely try CURSE. Just a heady debut, IMO.
Raspberry, it really does. I'd been waiting for news on it and the blurb on her site is tantalizing. :)
brizmus, I think so too.
Lenore, it's worth it.
Oh, this so seems up my alley! (Oddly, Amazon has up a different cover. This one is better, I think, and I'm basing that mostly on the font, which I love.) I should probably read CURSE, too - I've heard so many good things about it.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty cover! Plus I'm always curious about books that have a thief/spy protagonist, probably because of Gen from the Queen's Thief series.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know she had a new book coming out! hooray!
ReplyDeleteCan I just tell you that so many of the good books I read these days are because of you? =) lol. I am definitely adding this one to my list because I too loved Curse! =)
ReplyDeleteChelle, that's a very odd cover up on Amazon. I posted this one as it's the one Ms. Bunce has up on her website and GoodReads has it up as well. Odd. Also, you really must read CURSE. You will love it. :)
ReplyDeleteChachic, don't we all have a soft spot for thieves now because of Gen? :) I actually have ever since George Cooper--the King of the Thieves from Tamora Pierce's Alanna quartet. *sigh*
Janssen, lovely news isn't it?
Camie, you have no idea how happy that makes me! I'm thrilled you're finding ones you enjoy. I knew you loved CURSE and we'll definitely have to compare notes when this one comes out. :)
YAY!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting this, I didn't know that she had another book coming out. I absolutely LOVED Curse and I've been dying to read more by Bunce.
I love rereading my comments to find out how confusing they are! :P I do hope the cover is the one you posted. And...off to get CURSE!
ReplyDeleteVanessa, I was thinking of you. It's so exciting!
ReplyDeleteChelle, lol. I can't wait to hear what you think of it.
Fantasy novel + female hero who's also a spy/thief + rebellion = WIN. I'll have to go read Bunce's first book now.
ReplyDeletethis post has excellent information.
