I tried to speed through the first three books (as much as it’s possible to speed through audiobooks) so that I could read the fourth one in sequence, as it’s nominated for the Cybils and I’d have to read it anyway. ![]() Here’s a series that got slowly pushed to the top of my list by the sheer amount of fellow blogger love for it. ![]() I thought that if Charlotte – and lots of other people – liked the Magic Thief better than the Winterling books that I had considered quite solid, I’d best get on reading them. This spring, Charlotte wrote a Waiting on Wednesday post about how, while she liked Fer and Rook just fine, she was really anxiously waiting to find out what would happen to Conn. This is a series that hadn’t really been on my radar until last year, when I Winterling, also by Prineas. ![]()

I have been really enjoying this series lately, and the last two novels, Persepolis Rising and Tiamat’s Wrath were extremely fun, especially as they utilised the conquering Laconian Empire, which forced the protagonists to form a rebel movement known as the underground.

Hence, this is one of those Cochet reading journey’s that is best tackled in sequential release order for full enjoyment-at least that’s my humble opinion if you're new to either series. Due to the interlinked nature of the series, first with the Four Kings Security series, and now with its spin-off, The Kings: Wild Cards, I would highly suggest doing your reader research first before diving into any of these stories willy-nilly, as MOST OF the characters-from ALL OF the books, across BOTH OF the series-either feature prominently, make brief appearances, or are referenced in relevant backstory in some way, shape or form. ![]() Although capable of being read as a standalone, this isn’t, by far, the first time the characters in Raising the Ante feature in a Charlie Cochet book. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks to their efforts in humanitarian relief, although with some difficulties they were gradually able to reach out to the locals.

Even if you’ve read the original version, you won’t want to miss out on the updated version of this iconic biblical fiction novel. ![]() The 10th Anniversary Edition of Pearl in the Sand is highly recommended for readers of biblical fiction. The scene with the pearl earring touched me so profoundly, and readers will relate to Rahab’s doubts about her value and worth. The original cover of Pearl in the Sand is a stunning and well-recognized cover that deeply resonates with the story, but the new cover is absolutely breathtaking in its own right with the beautiful gold embossed lettering and the placement of the scarlet cord. ![]() Not much is known about Rahab, the Canaanite harlot who is named in the lineage of Jesus, but Tessa Afshar’s incredible writing fills in the blanks and encourages readers to dig deeper into the Bible.

It seemed to me that this was a rather pedestrian story in rather plodding prose about an ageing mother who goes missing on a crowded subway and her guilt-stricken adult children’s search for her. I was about a quarter of the way through Please Look After Mom (translated as Please Look After Mother in the UK) and was bored witless by it so I decided to re-check its nomination for the Man Asian Literary Prize to see why I should have been enjoying it. Hmm, perhaps I should have guessed that an ‘international best-seller’ with a million sales in Korea alone would be a disappointment… ![]() |
