It’s been a busy week. I’ve been working on an academic paper, my first. It was hard and it’s probably crap but I will have to wait to find out. Other PdD candidates have told me the first is the hardest so thankfully I’m not alone in this.
Westcoast book reviews published the first review of Argenterra. And it was fab.
I’m happy that is positive of course, but I also appreciate the thoughtful comments and that the reviewer, Liz, totally got the book and loved the world of Argenterra.
Here is what she said about the given, Argenterra’s native magic.
“Argenterra’s magic, the given, permeates everyone and everything in the land. It’s used in everything from building and cooking to healing and holding the people to their oaths. I liked how the given not only weaves through the lives of the characters but through the story itself. The given has its own history, champions and enemies. The given lives through the story as a character in its own right, complete with unique relationships with other characters and a life changing challenge.”

Also the print run of Argenterra has arrived for my Sydney Supanova! I’m all set. I’ve also set up a give away on Goodreads, for Australia, USA, UK, NZ and for some unknown reason Romania! (ineptitude I suspect).
The link to the give away is here
The print book is beautiful! Les Petersen’s cover look fab in the flesh, or the print.
And in case that lovely review inspired you to try Argenterra. Below are the buy links.
