Anyhow her writing sounds like something I need to experience and the whole idea of this story is so appealing. Not to mention those quotes which are so good. I'm so glad you enjoyed this one.

I'm thrilled to hear this is a world that empowers diverse characters and that there's a strong slow burn romance to look forward to.

I actually bought the sequel to Archangel a little while ago but haven't read it yet. In fact, it's probably been at least 5 years since I've read any works of Shinn's. Clearly I need to fix that! I haven't heard of this recent series of hers, but count me intrigued. Although it's not necessary, it is nice when we're able to actually enjoy the fantasy worlds we read about enough to imagine ourselves living there. :) Lovely review, Keertana!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-70118390030564150052014-02-27T00:09:06.545-05:002014-02-27T00:09:06.545-05:00It's funny how much covers affect our desire t...It's funny how much covers affect our desire to read a book.

As you know, I don't always have the best luck with fantasy, but the way you've described this story and the diverse characters makes me very intrigued. Plus I know you are careful with your 5 stars!<br /><br />And hey, if covers were of no importance whatsoever, everything would be a basic black and white typeface without any images at all. It's a big deal, and I appreciate it when the books I love have good ones. <br /><br />Wendy @ <a href="http://www.themidnightgarden.net/2014/02/ringandcrown.html" rel="nofollow">The Midnight Garden</a>Wendy Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471461156849725177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-63113907626760232872014-02-26T03:32:56.949-05:002014-02-26T03:32:56.949-05:00I FEEL YOU KEERTANA.

I was waiting around for the version of the book with the pretty cover to come back to the library but... I got tried of waiting :P<br /><br />One of my friends absolutely adored this book and so while I've had my eye on it, I've been scared to take the plunge and read it. <br /><br />The slow burn romance however may have sealed the deal for me. I am a HUGE fan of slow burn romances and they seem impossibly hard to come across. <br /><br />Wonderful Review, Keertana!! :)<br /><br />Rashika @ <a href="http://thesocialpotato.maryfaye.net" rel="nofollow">The Social Potato</a><br />Rashika https://www.blogger.com/profile/03823262638606052465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-51928675731876415452014-02-26T03:25:33.961-05:002014-02-26T03:25:33.961-05:00You always have great fantasy recs, Keer!

After reading a short story by Shinn I was excited to check this book out but then read a less than favorable review by Felicia Day and decided not to ruin my love for Shinn with a bad book. I think I'm going to rethink that now though.

I love when I find an author I just know will continue to amaze me with each and every book, so glad Shinn is one of those authors for you! And I completely understand your aversion to certain books based on the covers, I do the same thing.
