Wow... A rusty looking cityscape obscured by, I'm not sure... An attempt at sunbeams? An attempt at highlighting the title? This sort of thing never did my primary school work any favours either... But hey, there are airships in the corner so that makes everything steampunk and that's ok isn't it? Not really, no...
The blurb looks intriguing though,
As this news spreads, Stonehold—long considered unimportant—comes to the attention of the emperors in the southern countries. They have learned that the seed of Sena’s immense power lies in an occult book, and they are eager to claim it for their own.
Desperate to protect his people from the southern threat, Caliph is drawn into a summit of the world’s leaders despite the knowledge that it is a trap. As Sena’s bizarre actions threaten to unravel the summit, Caliph watches her slip through his fingers into madness.
But is it really madness? Sena is playing a dangerous game of strategy and deceit as she attempts to outwit a force that has spent millennia preparing for this day. Caliph is the only connection left to her former life, but it’s his blood that Sena needs to see her plans through to their explosive finish.
Black Bottle would be a very difficult book to get through without having read all of The Last Page.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty much where I'm at to be honest. I've got a few books that I want to read first but it might be time to give 'The Last Page' another go.
ReplyDeleteIf you looked at the picture by itself you could say it's interesting. But as a book cover it's so non-specific that it gives no clue as to what the book is about-- which defeats the purpose of a book cover.
ReplyDeleteYou just summed it up a whole lot better than I did :o)
