For our book this month, I wanted to mention Arrows of the Queen by Mercedes Lackey. In a lot of ways, Lackey is like Hobb before Hobb.
SUPER EXCITING fantasy editions, adaptation announcements, and new releases 🫢
But many of us are huge fans of this story, and it's great to see it getting new life breathed into it through new art, and once again, just emphasizing that artists are absolutely amazing, and that is the number one reason why I continue to get excited about special editions.
It was Guns of the Dawn. It didn't really work for me, but I have wanted to read Children of Time.
The reason being, there's not really magic in the Bridge Kingdom series, and it is very character-focused. So, you just find a fantastic area to shoot, and you don't have to worry about there being magic on top of everything. It's very intrigue-heavy.
I read an arc of this one and it didn't quite work for me, but if you like the idea of an Ares and Aphrodite retelling, then of course, definitely give this one a try.
