First Line Fridays | November 9

first-lines-fridays

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?

  • Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
  • Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
  • Finally… reveal the book!

Once upon a time, in a land long since burned to ash, there lived a young princess who loved her kingdom …

Kingdom of Ash (Throne of Glass #7) by Sarah J. MaasI’m nearly done with this book and, honestly, I don’t want it to end. This has easily been the best of the Throne of Glass franchise by a large margin. It is like Maas noticed our complaints about A Court of Wings and Ruin and actually listened because this is not crap at all. I love it.

What did you recently finish reading?

There comes a certain point with a hope or a dream, when you either give it up or give up everything else. And if you choose the dream, if you keep on going, then you can never quit, because it’s all you are.

Muse of Nightmares (Strange the Dreamer #2) by Laini TaylorI will be the first to admit that this book was disappointing. Maybe I just had high expectations because Strange the Dreamer was so fantastic but Muse let me down hard. It was…okay. Heck, it was good. But to be the followup for the masterpiece that was Strange, I expected, even needed, more.

What do you think you’ll read next?

The Mortal Word (The Invisible Library #5) by Genevieve CogmanI got an eARC of this book just before Kingdom of Ash came out and am very much looking forward to reading it. Cogman is a fantastic writer and I have enjoyed every book of her Invisible Library series. I can’t wait to jump back in with Irene and company and see what mischief and mayhem they get into this time.

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I hope you all have a glorious day and that you pick up a book that you love today.
