After reading Seven Forges last year I said I wanted to start reading more adult fantasy again, I haven't so far but this is a great book to kickstart that habit! This choice is a bit of a cheat as I have an e-ARC from Netgalley but I wanted to share Blades of the Old Empire as that plot sounds fantastic, I love strong female leads (hopefully Kara won't let us down) and even better, it's the start of a series!
Ooh, this one sounds really cool. I like a good high fantasy now and then!
ReplyDeleteOO! I can't wait for you to read this and post a review! It looks so good.

I saw this on Net Galley too, but hadn't heard of the author before so didn't know if I should request it. But, I love a good high fantasy with a great female lead! I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for sharing!

I don't read a lot of adult fantasy just because the series sometimes are so long! But this one definitely does sound interesting. I always do love a badass heroine!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick, Thanks for sharing & stopping by Bookmunchies (:
This does sounds really interesting! I'm not a huge fan of adult fantasy, but when I do read it, this would be the kind of book I'd pick up. Thanks for the introduction!

This one sounds cool! I love strong female leads, and this book sounds like it has a really strong one. Reminds me of Throne of Glass or something. Great pick!

I was thinking about requesting this from NetGalley, but I'm really trying to cut back my review books. But it looks excellent! I know what you mean about wanting to read more adult books. Sometimes I feel like all I read are young adult these days (and my wow pick this week is young adult!). Great choice. Here's my WOW.
ReplyDeleteCOVER LUST.
ReplyDeleteI added this one to my list. I want to try things outside of YA, and this looks like a good start!
