So long September, Autumn is here!
Another month has quickly gone by but I am so excited that October is here. Finally a good reason to watch Hocus Pocus over and over again! I adore this season and can't wait for the early dark nights which are perfect for reading the night away with a good book! So here's a quick look back on my favourite September reads and my planned October to-be-reads....
Waiting on Wednesday: An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson
Author: Margaret Rogerson
Series: Standalone
Genre: YA, Fantasy
Release Date: September 26th 2017
Book Length: 304
Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry Books
Isobel is a prodigy portrait artist with a dangerous set of clients: the sinister fair folk, immortal creatures who cannot bake bread, weave cloth, or put a pen to paper without crumbling to dust. They crave human Craft with a terrible thirst, and Isobel’s paintings are highly prized among them. But when she receives her first royal patron—Rook, the autumn prince—she makes a terrible mistake. She paints mortal sorrow in his eyes – a weakness that could cost him his life.
Furious and devastated, Rook spirits her away to the autumnlands to stand trial for her crime. Waylaid by the Wild Hunt’s ghostly hounds, the tainted influence of the Alder King, and hideous monsters risen from barrow mounds, Isobel and Rook depend on one another for survival. Their alliance blossoms into trust, then love, violating the fair folks’ ruthless Good Law. There's only one way to save both their lives, Isobel must drink from the Green Well, whose water will transform her into a fair one—at the cost of her Craft, for immortality is as stagnant as it is timeless.
Isobel has a choice: she can sacrifice her art for a future, or arm herself with paint and canvas against the ancient power of the fairy courts. Because secretly, her Craft represents a threat the fair folk have never faced in all the millennia of their unchanging lives: for the first time, her portraits have the power to make them feel.
