It might be wise to join AA before the book comes out. I for one will probably need it.

Beautiful cover - much better than the last one!

I kind of liked the Melusine thread. Although I'm a sucker for witchy, watery legends.

This is a stunning, stunning cover. I would buy the book for the cover alone - I expect a lot of people will. I even think (Melusine notwithstanding) that this might be a better book than the more recent ones, because I get the feeling it's a book closer to the heart.

That cover's lovely, it does look watery! I've just bought The Red Queen as it's just come out in pb here, still haven't read White Queen yet though, lol.

You aren't missing anything. Trust me!

I agree the cover is breathtaking and I love it. The best one so far. I'm a little nervous about the book though...and therefore will get this one at the library. I dont trust Gregroy's writing style anymore.

Gregory lost me as a reader after The red queen and The white queen. I did not enjoy reading them and can not remember what they were about. Gregory is over and out for me.
