Charlaine Harris, of Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood fame, has very kindly given a plug for Jon Sprunk's debut fantasy, Shadow's Son
, on her blog."The cover looked sort of young adult-ish, but there’s nothing on the cover to classify it, so I wasn’t sure what I was getting into. As it turns out, Sprunk’s book could be read by young adults but is also quite entertaining for older adults. Assassin Caim, in the city of Othir, finds that he himself is the subject of an insidious plot. The killer becomes the prey, as Caim is framed for a murder he didn’t commit. Caim forms an alliance with the daughter of the murdered man, but her own past is as much of a lie as Caim’s. This is a short but fast-moving novel with heartbreak and redemption both."
Ahhh, I just picked this book up on Friday. I am excited to get into this read after reading the first chapter online. I am hoping to get to it soon here. Glad to hear Charlaine Harris enjoyed it so.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. Please come back and tell me what you thought. The author, Jon Sprunk, is also soliciting opinions on his blog
ReplyDeleteThe news that Ms. Harris had read the book, and then included it in her blog, hit me from out of the blue. I was thrilled and very, very humbled. I cannot thank her enough.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it, Melissa!
Thank you Lou and Jon. I am planning on getting into the story here this week, about Wednesday starting into it. I will definitely have to stop back by when I am done. :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteLou, just had to stop back and say I really enjoyed the book. Jon even mentioned book 2 is to be out next year. I am looking forward to learning more with and about Caim & Kit. Great start to a trilogy. :)
ReplyDeleteVery glad to hear it! And yes, Jon is working on book two now. I should have the manuscript by September, and Michael Komarck is back for another cover.
ReplyDeleteGreat news! And glad to hear Michael is doing the next cover as well. He did a great job on the cover here.
ReplyDeleteI will be keeping my eyes peeled to see tips on the next book. Thank you!
Didn't he though? Thank you!
