“Life is too precious for regret,” he told her. “Remorse and forgiveness are important, yes, but not regrets. Because in the end, we affect each other in unforeseen ways. No one would have chosen the path you have walked. But if it had not been for all the misunderstandings, all the suffering, and yes, the betrayals, we would not be sitting here today.”

I hope you will remain open to change. Open to the new and the uncomfortable. It is the only way to move past where we are now.

5: Which book did you last re-read?

I am 2/3 of the way through a reread of Traitor’s Masque by Kenley Davidson. I am more aware of flaws in the style, but I like this better the second time around. I care deeply about the characters, and I love the political intrigue. These books are almost exactly the type of fantasy I like to write.

6: Which book was the last one you really, really loved?

The last story I loved was actually a short story, That Game We Played During the War by Carrie Vaughn, an absolutely beautiful character piece about recovering from a war between telepaths and non-telepaths. The last novel I loved was The Talisman Ring by Georgette Heyer. I listened to it on audio, and though the ridiculous characters can be exasperating, it was the most fun book I’ve encountered in recent memory.

8: Paperback or hardcover? Why?

Paperback. Hardcover is bulky, expensive, harder to handle during reading, and takes up too much space on the shelf. I’m more comfortable reading paperbacks–they feel nicer in my hands. However, I do like old-fashioned hardcovers with no slipcovers and embossed titles.

11: Classic or modern? Why?

Classic. They have more class. Modern books tend to be vulgar and depressing. It’s safer to stay with the classics, for reasons of both literary and moral quality (after all, only the really good books last the test of time). Plus, I like historical settings.

15: What book changed your life?

Manalive by G.K. Chesterton is the ultimate source of joy. For me, it’s as much medicine as it is literature, and I reread it regularly when I need a jolt of of optimism in my life.

47: What do you do to get out of a reading slump? 

Already answered this. The Kindle smartphone app is the greatest invention in my reading life.

J'ai lu, Le Mage sans Visage de Kenley Davidson

Il s’agit du premiers tome des Légendes d’Abreia Il la protégera à tout prix… jusqu’à ce qu’elle devienne sa prochaine cible. Les priorités de Leisa étaient simples : défendre la princesse, dissimuler sa magie, et attendre le retour de sa famille. Mais tout bascule le jour où son roi lui ordonne d’utiliser son don unique pour espionner le royaume rival de Garimore. Elle se retrouve seule, loin…

Leisa from the Legends of Abreia series by Kenley Davidson. Yes, the covers show her with scarlet hair but inside the book it says red-gold so.

[feylunaart]

Princess Evaraine of Farhall from the Legends of Abreia series by Kenley Davidson. I honestly didn’t expect to like this character as much as I do. Or this series. I am aware she has thinner lips but I missed that part my first read through so we can all deal.
