Fellow Author, Courtney Schafer, Reads “The Heir of Night” & “The Gathering of the Lost”
Positive reader feedback is always “the best”—but when another author not only reads and likes your work but tells the world so, that’s always extra special.
Yesterday, I recapped Abhinav Jain’s “Names A New Perspective” guest author series, here—and one of the fellow authors whose post I really enjoyed was Courtney Schafer on Building Fantasy Worlds One Name At A Time.
In fact we enjoyed each others posts so much that we agreed to do an author book swap—and you will recall that I posted on Courtney’s books arriving just last week, here.
But Courtney (possibly because she is a mountain climber and figure skater! ;-)) has “leapt in” ahead of me and already finished both The Heir of Night and The Gathering of the Lost!
You can read what she has to say Here.
Although I guess you already know from my intro that she enjoyed the books, but nonetheless, here’s the summary version:
“So if you’ve any fondness for epic fantasy, I highly recommend you give the Wall of Night series a try. I had a wonderful time reading both Heir and Gathering, and can’t wait for the next novel in the series…so write faster, Helen!”
(I’m doing my best, honest!–says Helen: but I do want Daughter of Blood to be ‘just as good if not better’ than Heir and Gathering…)
In the meantime, do check out Courtney’s post and have a look at her website, here.
Shamefully, I have read both of Courtney’s books, and still am behind on yours…
I agree, Paul, that is entirely shameful of you… 😉 I have to say though, that I am currently reading ‘The Whitefire Crossing’ and loving it.
