Omissions!
On Sunday 2, I posted Reflecting on 2010, and cannot believe that I omitted to mention what really was one of the highlights of my year—when Robin Hobb very generously provided a cover quote for The Heir of Night!
And the quote—which I pretty much know by heart now 😉 — is:
.
“THE HEIR OF NIGHT by Helen Lowe is a richly told tale of strange magic, dark treachery and conflicting loyalties, set in a well realized world.”
– Robin Hobb
As I said way back on 16 June—thank you, Robin Hobb. I (still!) feel very honoured

Omission No. 2 arises from my Monday Summary of Reviews, when I posted on the reviews received for The Heir of Night since its publication in October—but of course, Thornspell also got another fabulous, 5-star review this year, from Rising Shadow. Here’s a snippet:
“Thornspell is a charming, rich and well imagined retelling of the Sleeping Beauty story … I think that everybody who likes beautiful prose, romantic adventures and good stories, will love this book. There are several similar books, but Thornspell is clearly in a league of its own, because the quality of the writing is superb and the story is fascinating … This book is so good that once you start reading it, it’s almost impossible to put it down. Highly recommended!”
You can read the full review here—but I did think it was very cool to get another review two years on from original publication!

I think those are the only omissions so far, though who knows what will happen as the new year grows older and busier!
The Robin Hobb quote pretty much sums it up .
Thanks, Sharon—& Happy New Year! 🙂
