Read Between the Wines #12: The Heart Forger
Hello lovely Steemlings
Its time for another episode of Read Between The Wines - Anything and everything book related and maybe a little bit of wine as well!
In my last post I reviewed The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco so it makes sense now to take a look at book number 2 in this incredible trilogy - The Heart Forger.
If you like a good bit of revenge, then it's worth a read. Also if you found the first book a bit too frilly and descriptive for your tastes, don't give up.. this one will engage you a lot more in the action and plot.

My favourite quote from the book
“She wore the corpses for show. They trailed behind her, grotesque fabrics of writhing flesh and bone, spreading across the plain for miles around us."
The Good Reads Summary
In The Bone Witch, Tea mastered resurrection―now she's after revenge...
No one knows death like Tea. A bone witch who can resurrect the dead, she has the power to take life...and return it. And she is done with her self-imposed exile. Her heart is set on vengeance, and she now possesses all she needs to command the mighty daeva. With the help of these terrifying beasts, she can finally enact revenge against the royals who wronged her―and took the life of her one true love.
But there are those who plot against her, those who would use Tea's dark power for their own nefarious ends. Because you can't kill someone who can never die...
War is brewing among the kingdoms, and when dark magic is at play, no one is safe.
I feel that the author moves the story along at a much faster pace in this second installment - perhaps she felt the first book was really just the set up for the story and the world in which it took place. And while I enjoyed it immensely I know many people found the first one to be quite slow. Not so with the The Heart Forger so hopefully people will give it a go even if the weren't fans of the first.
The third book - Shadow-glass is due out in early 2019 so we will just have to wait and see the ending. But if like book two it gets even better than it promises to be phenomenal!

your description as if I was reading the book. You are good at making the essence. I also want to convey that in our country, this kind of thing is different. the story raised is often the event of the final murder of his revenge. often the victims are women. then take revenge on some of the perpetrators.

Nice post.. very good luck
Your support is appreciated. Thank you.
If people complain too much about slow and waffly redirect them to the full version of The Iliad or something XD Even the purplest of prose looks tight and concise by comparison!
So was the one before slow because it was purple or because it was rambly?
Your selected paragraph from current book is some interesting mental imagery. Is she gigantic or something? D:
What a pun! :-)
