This week I'm featuring In an Absent Dream (Wayward Children #4) by Seanan McGuire. I finally got around to reading this one and really enjoyed it! It was nice getting Lundy's story.
When she finds a doorway to a world founded on logic and reason, riddles and lies, she thinks she's found her paradise. Alas, everything costs at the goblin market, and when her time there is drawing to a close, she makes the kind of bargain that never plays out well.
Book Beginnings
In a house, on a street, in a town ordinary enough in every aspect to cross over it's own roots and become remarkable, there lived a girl named Katherine Victoria Lundy.
Friday 56
"This is my home, and you are safe here, for now," said the Archivist, in a calm, clear voice. "Do you know your name?"
What have you been reading lately?
That cover! And what an interesting premise. I will definitely look into this.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are enjoying it so much!
Happy weekend and here's my Weekend Book Friends #11
I can't seem to get enough Seanan McGuire, lol. Thanks for stopping by! Happy weekend! :)
DeleteIn An Absent Dream is one of my favorite books by Seanan McGuire. It was really great to finally find out Lundy's story, since it was only mentioned in the previous books.
ReplyDeleteI loved learning Lundy's backstory. It was so interesting. Thanks for coming by! Have a great weekend! :)
DeleteOooh, I loved this one! Lundy's story was so fun, and she was such an easy character to connect with. :3 Have you read Come Tumbling Down yet? That's my new favorite of the series. :D
ReplyDeleteHere's my Friday post.
I haven't yet, but now you've got me even more anxious to pick up a copy. Thanks for visiting! Have an awesome weekend! :)
DeleteI like a character that would rather study and dream instead of doing what is expected...so I am drawn into this one. Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “ALL THE BEST LIES”
ReplyDeleteI love character like that too. They always end up being some of my favorites. Thanks for coming by! Have a great weekend! :)
DeleteI've been told by a few to read this author's books. Must be decent if you're on book 4. :-) Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteHer books are awesome. The October Daye and Incryptid series are my favorites of hers, but this one's been great too. Thanks for visiting! Happy weekend! :)
DeleteLove that beginning! :)
ReplyDeleteI do too! I love McGuire's writing style. Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! :)
DeleteSounds like Lundy was the perfect choice to explore character backstory. Now, why does the Archivist ask if she knows her name?
ReplyDeleteI don't want to say too much, but names are very important in the Goblin Market. Thanks for coming by! Happy weekend! :)
DeleteI like and am intrigued by the quotes! I am not much for audio books, but I recently listened to Rosemary and Rue by Maguire and enjoyed it, now you've interested me in Wayward Children.
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of an audiobook listener either, but I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed Rosemary and Rue. That's probably my all-time favorite McGuire book. Thanks for visiting! Hope you have an awesome weekend! :)
DeleteSounds like an interesting series. I don't think I've heard of it before. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Becki! Hope you enjoy your week too! :)
DeleteIt sounds interesting! I'm reading The Old Curiosity Shop by Chalres Dickens and hope to finish it in a few days.
