I interrupt our regularly scheduled Manic Monday for an important update. Last week, Larua Eno’s book, Tempest Child, appeared on Did I Notice Your Book? At that time, Lindsay Downs decided to read it and this is what he had to say:
Review of Tempest Child
By Laura Eno
Monday through Friday I write with occasional departures into reading the next book on my Kindle. Mostly, the books are set in the Regency or Victorian period. Then when I get home at night I’ll read before going to bed. Thereby leaving the weekend for watching TV and editing my WIP.
Every very long once in a while I’ll stumble across a book that holds my attention so strongly that all I want to do is read, read, read and continue reading until I finish the book. To the extent that even my favorite TV shows take second place to the book.
A few days ago on Ciara Knight’s blog, http://ciaraknight.com, I was pointed to such a book, Tempest Child by Laura Eno. Having taken Ciara’s suggestion in the past I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed in this one. Little did I realize though that this book took me over.
I started the book Friday evening at work and continued after getting home. Forced only to stop when fatigue overtook me. Then came Saturday. The day when I edit. Yes, I was able to get the editing done and finish writing a proposal. Even before dinner I sat down and started up again reading the story.
I’ve not and have never been a real big fan of, for lack of a better genre term Otherworld. Tempest Child reads that genre but also not.
The story revolves around Skyla, a Princess and future Queen, and her search to find herself and along the way the one thing she truly wants. True Love.
That’s all I’m going to say about the book.
I give Tempest Child an amazing 4 collies, one sheltie and a collie puppy.
For those new to my grading that equals 4 ¾ points out of five.
I want to thank Lindsay Downs, author of Target Identified, for taking the time to let us know his thoughts on Tempest Child. If you’ve read a book that has appeared on Did I Notice Your Book, please let me know. I’d be happy to post your thoughts.
I’m speechless…okay, I’ll think of some words. Thank you! Merci! Danke! I have tears in my eyes at such an amazing endorsement! What a wonderful thing to wake up to.
I bought the book when you mentioned, Ciara, but it looks like it’s just moved up on my Kindle TBR. Thanks, Lindsey.
Laura – It must be a great book if Lindsay took the time to read and write a review in a week.
I’m so looking forward to reading it.
LJ – You’ll have to let us know your thoughts.
Kudos to Laura for getting such a great review and to Ciara for doing the aweseome “Did I notice your book” series. Great to see this fun stuff paying off.
Nice review!! Love the “Did I Notice Your Book” series. How fun!
That is a great review..Congrats to the author….
Wow, amazing review! Gave me the goosebumpies…I am going to have to read it now. Great series Ciara!
Laura,
You’re welcome. Keep up the great writing
That’s great news for Laura!!!!
Nice! Good choice!
Wow. Amazing review! I’m going to have to read this one!
This is the best kind of review a reader can give! “I couldn’t put it down” and “I usually don’t read this kind of book but loved it anyway” is what every writer wants to hear. Congrats to Laura.
Awesome. I love it when a book can take me over like that, and it happens so rarely. Just went in and added Tempest Child to my to be read list at Goodreads. Thanks for the rec—both of you.
