Sharing is Caring - Fire by Kristin Cashore

This is a weekly meme hosted by Simply Sensational Book Fanatics

http://ssbookfanatics.blogspot.com


This week I share with you one of my all time favorite reads. 
Fire By Kristin Cashore.
This is a follow up of Graceling, but from another character and a world discovered in book one.
I gave this book 5 Stars.
Kristin Cashore is one of my favorite authors of all time. Her books are highly imaginative, with very strong characters who you deeply fall in love with. This is fantasy at its best. Easy to follow, plenty of girl kicking butt action. Handsome men with  quirky romance. Deeply emotional scenes. This book stuck with me for a very long time and had inspired my love for fantasy in my writing, and maybe my love for the color red in one of my works. I adored this book, everything about it. A series to follow.

It is not a peaceful time in the Dells. In King City, the young King Nash is clinging to the throne, while rebel lords in the north and south build armies to unseat him. War is coming. And the mountains and forest are filled with spies and thieves. This is where Fire lives, a girl whose beauty is impossibly irresistible and who can control the minds of everyone around her. Exquisitely romantic, this companion to the highly praised "Graceling" has an entirely new cast of characters, save for one person who plays a pivotal role in both books. You don't need to have read "Graceling" to love "Fire." But if you haven't, you'll be dying to read it next. 
This edition includes an article by and an interview with Kristin Cashore, as well as a sneak peek at her next book, "Bitterblue"

What it means to be an author in South Africa By Lea Cherry

I am happy to introduce a fellow South Africa Author Lea Cherry

Author of The Rose of Cavendish

I had asked Lea about what she thought of being a published author in South Africa ~

Being an author today in South Africa is an amazing thing. We as SA authors are lucky to have such inspiration right here in our home country, but the market is bit slow here. Making it 'big' would bring more attention to other fantastic authors here in South Africa as there isn't really a markett for paranormal/YA genres here. But writing isn't just about making it big overseas, it's about expressing yourself in a way everyone can understand. It's about sharing the world you live in, either physically, emotionally, or mentally, with the world and making new friends with a common like in fantasy. To me, being a South African author, it's not about where your at that counts, it's where you're going that truly matters.

About The book 

Anna-Belle, the flightless princess of Fae, has escaped out of the palace to live life her way. Little does she know that life is changing her into something she did not foresee! 

Her friends, Landon and Keira, the Napaea faes, Aranhil, the prince of the Elves, and Ulrik, the dwarf will join her on a quest to save the Fae Realm. She must make a choice and her heart's true desire will be the key to unlocking the mysteries she needs to know as well as the destruction of what she already does!

Life as a Fae princess is the road to darkness!
