I hope so too MN. I loved it, the story gets better and resolves beautifully.

I'm offering The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden as a read in this category. Part of it is set in winter and one of the characters is called Winter. Does that qualify?

Ah-ha!

Clive Cussler is deceased (in 2020) so can't deny or verify.

That is bizarre. I hope that you enjoy it. Mine too.

I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Set in WW1

It's very good. Set in World War 1

Finished The Winter Garden by Nicola Cornick. Thoroughly enloyed it.

These are amazing, Kev.

Oh good, I do like books like that. Yes, I saw that and passed on by.

I looked at that one but decided against it. It being YA makes sense from the prose that I read and yes, that theme would be too dark for YA, as for me ……….. well perhaps, I don't know. Only way to find out is that I read it but have chosen a different one so happy with that.

Loved The Sanatorium!

I bought this but don't know if it's the one you read because there are several books called The Winter Garden on Amazon. I chose the one written by Nicola Cornick.

I've finished this, it's only 103 pages long. Excellent stuff.

I have no idea! ETA Yes, it is.

Currently reading The Frozen Deep by Wilkie Collins. It's tremendous!

Great review, Hux

True

Without being pedantic, I can look inside a three dimensional box, you just lift the lid. 🤪😜

The Words of Kings and Prophets, Shauna Lawless The second instalment of the Gael Song series. The first is The Children of Gods and Fighting Men, reviewed by Books Do Furnish a Room (December 3 2023). The story continues. Ireland in the first thousand years and onwards. Kings, battles, magic, witches, Descendants of the Tuatha De Danann a supernatural race in Irish mythology, Fomorians also a supernatural race in Irish mythology who are often portrayed as hostile and monstrous beings and enemies of the Tuatha De Danann, and the mortals caught in between. As with us combative Scots, the Irish mortals spend a lot of time at war with each other in order to establish who is at the top of the pecking order. Royal scandal abounds, too. I was totally immersed in this and read great swathes of it at a time. Shauna Lawless is Irish so all of this is familiar to her and she handles the material very well indeed. Some of the people she writes about really existed and so did the battles. The Tuatha De Danann and the Fomorians are real Irish myths and the story Shauna creates around all of this is fascinating. Highly recommended.

I read the Seamus Heaney translation and loved it.
