Back in early May, I was fortunate enough to be able to read and review the second book in Laini Taylor's Dreamdark series, Silksinger. In my review, I said:
"While fans of the first book certainly won't want to miss Silksinger, I would also recommend the Dreamdark books to people who aren't ordinarily fans of fantasy. Silksinger is beautifully written, suspenseful, heartbreaking, ingenious, and funny. In short, this book has it all. On closing the book, I felt utterly satisfied, like someone who had just finished an excellent meal. Silksinger has my highest recommendation."
Silksinger is scheduled for publication today. I recommend it for readers 10 and up, adults included (though I strongly suggest reading the first book, Blackbringer, first).
Thanks for posting a reminder, Jen :-)
Hope you're well!

Always happy to talk about the books that I love, Laini. All is well here. I
can see from the pictures that you've been posting that things are well
there, too.

Yay, yay, yay! I've been waiting and waiting for this, it seems.
BTW, Jen, did you see that Margaret Atwood's new book is about a PLAGUE? Looks fun.

I know. It's so great that the book is finally here. And yes, Adrienne, I
did see that about Atwood's new book. I'm interested to check it out (of
course you already know that, my fellow dystopia addict friend).
