Queen Song
Queen Coriane, first wife of King Tiberias, keeps a secret diary—how else can she ensure that no one at the palace will use her thoughts against her?

I have Queen Song on my Nook to read still, but I can't wait to have this bind up to add to my shelf!
What are you waiting on this week?
Oooh nice pick, Cyra!! :) I might end up looking into getting this bind-up as well -- even though I didn't love Red Queen as much as you, I'm really curious now that I know that the novellas are about Coriane and Farley! I had no idea they had their own stories and am really interested in their perspectives :)
ReplyDeleteI hope that you enjoy the novellas more than you liked the book! I hope I love them! I have one of them on my nook right now, but I have yet to actually read it! I need to get on that! I'm really interested to see things from their perspectives as well!
DeleteHa! I'm really excited to read Glass Sword. I generally don't read novellas because they are SUCH a waste of money individually - definitely a marketing scheme that I don't enjoy. I'd invest in the bindup of *all* the series' novellas. :D I hope you enjoy this one, Cyra!
ReplyDeleteAlyssa @ The Eater of Books!
I love novellas! Now that you mention it, it does mostly seem like a waste of money, but if I love the series enough, I'll fork over the money to get more of the story! I can't wait to get this and Glass Sword!
