My thoughts:
I just learned about this one this past weekend from Jessica @ BookSake's mailbox!! The synopsis is just a tiny little thing so far, but with talk of a WWI English setting & magical powers, it sounds like something I need to read! And that cover---so gorgeous.
The synopsis is indeed very little. But, the cover is catching - sounds greta!
ReplyDeleteThat summary is really vague... agreed with the talk, it sounds like something to go on TBR lists! Added!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy this when it comes!
Nina @ Death Books and Tea
I've got Abe's Drakon series in my TBR pile. The YA cover is eye-catching.
