Luckily, it was a pitch line from the author and the summary, so my interest got piqued (plus, the stars might have been aligned because having found this jewel feels like a miracle!)Ron C.

I think the main reason I got started was because the blog was still young, and because I try to accept as many indies as my schedule can afford. It was one of those times when I could have kissed myself, though, because I honestly think that King Henry is perfect... He'd take the world by storm if only people gave him the chance! Perhaps I'd put a new cover, and market more aggressively, because it has the potential. <br /><br />The language aspect is great. Specially because we get to see two completely different sets of King Henrys (three, if you count the beginning of book one...) and each time you can see how the bow has grown and changed and matured just reading how he speaks. <br /><br />Honestly, and while I know your TBR towers, I think you'd enjoy this one. As a linguist, as a UF lover, as a reader who wants solid and real characters... Yep. I'd recomment it! Ron C.

I would probably walk right by this book in a bookstore - neither the cover nor the title would make me stop and see what it's about, but now I have no choice. I wasn't sure until you mentioned the language. As a linguist, I love authors who explore conversational language in their books, we can learn so much from it.<br />Also, I just realized that you totally need to read The Reapers are the Angels by Alden Bell. I love that book so much that I sent a copy to Ann Aguirre a while back. I just know she'll love it.Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.com
