Annie is in another world which is beginning to reveal itself. Where is she and will she ever find Sam again? Or does she even want to?
Hint:
Gaia has joined her and the Earth goddess is pissed. Her daughters are the furies who punish people for ruining the natural order and take them down to the underworld.
This is the 2nd in The Library of Time series--Teaser from back of the book:
“Who you are is yet to be revealed…” Diva intoned.
Sam’s long absence from the library and 2324 Edge, is worrying Annie, and when she discovers a cryptic message from him, she panics. A book in the stacks contains one word sent from the past. HELP. And when the ‘library of time’ provides a door, she doesn’t hesitate to walk through.
The 1300’s are not what she expected, nor is Sam. His involvement in a long ago uprising to crown Robert the Bruce king of Scotland has taken over his common sense, and he will not be dissuaded. Not only is this war hundreds of years in the past, Annie is also afraid that Sam will end up dead.
But what finally sends Annie packing is Sam’s dalliance with the barmaid at the Inn where they are staying. A trip from there to see Sam’s mother further complicates things. Constance is about to give birth to Sam. And if the current Sam dies before the baby is born, everything in the future will change.
Sam and Annie might never meet.
It is January. Cold outside in most places. And in some there is ice on the roads and sidewalks--(Oregon where I live) Can't get to work? There is always zoom, unless you are in retail or your internet went down. And if that's the case, what better time to read?
A few suggestions from my latest list:
STARLING HOUSE by Alix Harrow--she is the author of THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY and THE ONCE AND FUTURE WITCHES. Whenever I see a new book of hers I grab it. And this one does not disappoint. I'm not that far in yet, but if you like tales about houses that may or may not be sentient, magic and strange characters, you will like this one. And she's a really good writer.
Anything by V.E. Schwab--fantasy at its best and good writing and very unusual stories that you wish would never end.
THE FOUR WINDS by Kristin Hannah. And any other books by her. Literary love story that takes place in 1921--good good writing.
And of course I have to add my latest novel: THE LIBRARY OF TIME. If you are a Dr. Who fan, think Tardis. It is a time-travel/mystery/romance that takes place in 2323. (at least for part of it)
