Hello Lovely Readers,
I was approved for another title on NetGalley yesterday called Night Spinner by Addie Thorley. This one sounds super interesting and definitely pulled me in when it mentioned Hunchback of Notre Dame. I better keep my hype low or we might have a problem, haha.
This book is going to be released on February 11th, 2020.
Synopsis:
“A must-read for fans of Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse, transforming The Hunchback of Notre Dame into a powerful tundra-inspired epic.
Before the massacre at Nariin, Enebish was one of the greatest warriors in the Sky King’s Imperial Army: a rare and dangerous Night Spinner, blessed with the ability to control the threads of darkness. Now, she is known as Enebish the Destroyer―a monster and murderer, banished to a monastery for losing control of her power and annihilating a merchant caravan.
Guilt stricken and scarred, Enebish tries to be grateful for her sanctuary, until her adoptive sister, Imperial Army commander Ghoa, returns from the war front with a tantalizing offer. If Enebish can capture the notorious criminal, Temujin, whose band of rebels has been seizing army supply wagons, not only will her crimes be pardoned, she will be reinstated as a warrior.
Enebish eagerly accepts. But as she hunts Temujin across the tundra, she discovers the tides of war have shifted, and the supplies he’s stealing are the only thing keeping thousands of shepherds from starving. Torn between duty and conscience, Enebish must decide whether to put her trust in the charismatic rebel or her beloved sister. No matter who she chooses, an even greater enemy is advancing, ready to bring the empire to its knees.” (Goodreads)
What do you think of this one? Does it pique your interest? Let me know in the comments!
Is this a reimagining of the hunchback? I’m so not familiar with that story at all. I have just seen the Disney animation and that’s it lol!

I almost requested this one but decided not to because I tend not to enjoy being in the head of a grief stricken main character. Im waiting for reviews to see if its a big part of the story or not. I look forward to your review.

I can understand why some would not be too keen on reading a point of view like that. I am not even sure what to expect, lol.
