This week for Book Beginnings on
Fridays and The Friday 56
I've selected Raven Flight by Juliet Marillier.This is the second book in her YA Shadowfell series. I was pleasantly surprised by my love for the first book (although very disappointed in the cover choice). Raven Flight has been given a much better cover - far more suitable for its intended audience, so we're off to a good start!
Book Beginnings:
As the lone traveller approached, the five Enforcers spread out in a line across the path.
Page 56:
The five tiny folk came forward, bearing their wreath. It was about the size of a woman's wristlet. They stopped in front of Regan and held it up.
Very ominous and intriguing.
ReplyDeleteOh, I added you to the Linky! :-)
DeleteThank you :-)
DeleteGood beginning that makes me want to read more. The excerpt from Page 56 intrigued me too. Sounds like a good story.
ReplyDeleteSomehow 'lone traveller' sounds like an awesome thing to be! The F56 sounds adorable and the cover is very nice! On a second note, would you like to be part of my blog tour for 'Confessions of a Harry Potter Fan'? Drop me an email, if yes :)
