This cover has been jumping out at me since it was released last June. Partly because it's by James Moloney and I really enjoyed The Book of Lies, but not entirely. Because for some reason, this cover doesn't make me think of that series at all, so for a long time, I was forcing myself to remember that they were by the same people.If you read my JudgeABook post on Shiver, you're probably starting to think that I must really like the whole silhouette-fading-into-the-background type thing. And I guess I do. In all honesty, this cover isn't making me feel like I-must-read-it-at-first-possible-opportunity. But I like how it looks and know that James Moloney is good, so it is on my to read list, but when I have time.
Part three of this post (where I make up a story based entirely on the cover) might be hard cause all we've got is girl, boy on horse and grass/trees/plants. and a single bird. But, I'll see what I can do.
She ran, was all he could think.
He was left sitting on his horse, holding the herb he knew
she was looking for, thinking: she ran.
It was true they had never met, but that hardly mattered.
Did it? She was ill, and she needed the wilting green thing in his hand, but
she had found the strength to run.
He would have to think this through. Gently, he urged the
horse forward.
Let me know what you think of these posts. :)
