Will do – I tend to post reviews here, and will be on my new website launching in Jan, but it’s on my list 😀

In reply to EV. Hey, thanks so much for dropping in and commenting. I have now just this minute, gone and downloaded a sample of the Orphan Queen to give it a go. Thank you so much for the awesome suggestion.

Have you ever read The Orphan Queen books by Jodi Meadows? They’re really great. The main character is heir to the throne of a conquered country she hasn’t been to since her family was overthrown but she and the surviving children of the nobles are plotting to take their country back. Also there’s something spreading across the face of the world, a kind of energy field that warps reality within it making it uninhabitable and creatures caught in it monstrous. It’s believed to be created by humans using magic (guess who also happens to be a born magic user) and it will be upon the city immanently. Throw on top of that concepts of responsibility for unforeseen consequences of ones actions, confusion about who the villains and who the heroes are, the importance of image and identity, inherent isolation and inequalities of power, dangers and obligations of fame, and the ethics of being a magical being where magic is outlawed. Oh, and there’s a romantic subplot that actually fuels the issues. I don’t know if that’s your kind of thing but it seems like it might be and I very much enjoyed them.

In reply to Sacha Black. :) That doesn't sound very dystopian! :)
