Plunged immediately into Shadow of Night right after (got it from the Kindle store). It's a page turner but I felt like I had to stop every so often to digest the latest plot twist - you're right, it is an intelligent book. More so in the second installment. I started reading it after rave reviews from my friends - they called it "Twilight" for adults, minus sparkly vampires, hehehe. What I failed to research was that it is a trilogy. I hate starting an unfinished series because I hate having to wait for the next book!<br /><br />Last year, Deborah Harkness said in an interview that the third book has no set release date yet because the creative process takes time and she cannot schedule her inspiration. Disappointing but makes perfect sense - she has to live up to the high standard she set for the first 2 books. <br /><br />Try "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova. It's another very intelligent novel (a little heavy and slow in the first part as well). You'll really think about it even after you've stopped for the day. :-) Jazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04915429022515424181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28615751.post-29965450244073013782014-02-01T10:38:54.720+08:002014-02-01T10:38:54.720+08:00I'm a working mom of 1 and I stopped reading F...I'm a working mom of 1 and I stopped reading FICTION for almost a year after giving birth because I always choose catching sleep over reading my books. But yeah, I became dull after that. Hahaha. What I will do this year is widen my book choices. I always pick works of authors I've already read so I will be daring this year. Hehe. <br /><br />I would love the idea of a book club thing :) Devihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12342370019116815441noreply@blogger.com
