And here, in all its awesome, is the cover for Ascendant
--the second book in Diana Peterfreund's killer unicorns series. I love it. I love it from the complicated look on Astrid's face, to the scroll work on the sword, to the slightly lighter overall tones. Yep. It's gonna look just swell next to my copy of Rampant
. What do you guys think? And if you'd like a chance to win an ARC of Ascendant
, Diana's giving one away right now! I love what you have to do to enter--comment with a 6-word work of fiction. Check it out.
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? I remember the exact moment it hit me—what I was doing, who I was talking to, what song was playing on iTunes. :) I had just come back from Winter Break my sophomore year in college and was sitting on my bed chatting with my mom. Sophomore year was pretty remarkable in terms of the insane weather that we had in Virginia (where I was in school) but it had also been a bizar...
I love that cover! Thanks for posting it :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's such a beautiful cover! I haven't read Rampant although I'm curious about it. Killer unicorns sound awesome.
ReplyDeleteprophecygirl, my pleasure. I've been eagerly awaiting it!
ReplyDeleteChachic, isn't it? Yeah, the killer unicorns are nothing but win. I'm anxious to see where Astrid and the gang go in this one.
It's such a beautiful cover! I just love, love, love it. I can't wait to read it; I just finished Rampant a couple weeks ago and I'm hungry for more!

ReplyDeleteKiller unicorns? Okay, even if the cover wasn't amazing, I am now very interested by the killer unicorns :)
Kay, yup. Having just finished RAMPANT you are primed for this baby!
ReplyDeleteCat, lol. Hie thee to a bookstore/library near you and get your hands on RAMPANT. She really knocks the whole killer unicorn thing out of the park. Truly.
