Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted at The Purple Booker.
Anyone can play along by doing the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers.
“She accepts the world as it is and the world accepts her thus; she is not mastered. What is done to her cannot confine what she will do.”
(~ The Monster Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson, Kindle Edition, 2018)
[This is the sequel to Baru Cormorant -or The Traitor Baru Cormorant depending on the editions. It was a long time a series didn’t grab me as this one, and, to me, it puts GoT (the TV series, not the books, to be fair) to shame, because it is more subtle, geopolitically more plausible, with characters more consistent in their story arch. Oh, and I loved Baru since the first pages. They call this “hard fantasy” (no magic to save the day) and, for SF lovers, it is the best of two worlds. Please, more!]
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays’ post, or share your ‘teasers’ in a comment here and/or in The Purple Booker.
You’re not the only blogger I follow who praises the Baru Cormorant books, and I’ve now put ‘The Traitor…’ on TBA (to-be-acquired) list.
Hope you enjoy it. It has a complex and nuanced worldbuilding, and the second instalment doesn’t let you down.
Nice teaser! I haven’t read either this series or GoT yet. Of the two, leaning towards this one. My Teaser
Start with this one 🙂
I haven’t read anything from this series.
My teaser: https://collinesblog.com/2019/05/14/a-little-more-of-the-library-of-lost-and-found/
It worths a good read, I promise 🙂
This one sounds really fascinating – I’ve heard wonderful things about this series before, Steph – I need to track this down:). Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure. This is by far one of the best in the last three years or so. And the writing is gorgeous!
