![]() ![]() ![]() DM Sonntag's The Lightning Bride has claimed a spot on that very short list. There are not many fantasy books I find myself sitting down and devouring in a short period of time. Maylie is a convincing and engaging character who develops from a somewhat naive and spoiled girl to a more responsible and restrained character, there were plenty of plot twists and suprises to keep me guessing and surprised, and the ending gives me hope that we'll return to the Kingdom Isles soon! ![]() Sonntag has made a marvellous world that Maylie and her characters inhabit and that I thoroughly enjoyed exploring □. This is one of several indie novels I've read this year, and this is definitely the best of them! A rip-roaring adventure thst completely subverted my expectations, creating a unique, vivid world that is so well thought and written: D.M. But Maydeline soon discovers life is not an adventure novel: her family has powerful enemies circling like sharks in the water, and her impetuous flight from home may have given them an opportunity. ![]() Rather than be forced into an unappealing marriage prospect, she flees onto the high seas, a wild and dangerous world of pirates, mermaids and magic. Maydeline Shadow seeks to escape from her stifling life in the Northern Kingdom after a ritual humiliation exposes her family's secret. I'm not usually a slow reader, but it took me a little longer than anticipated to read The Lightning Bride, but now that I have finished reading it, I can only say wow! ![]()
