If you’re a fan of Elizabeth Wein — or if you’re thinking maybe you should be (and I will just add that *I* think you should be) — then drop in over the next week or so at Chachic’s Book Nook.
Chachic is hosting a “special ops” week for Wein, who is, in my not especially humble opinion, one of the very, very best YA authors out there today. These days, I mostly avoid anything even remotely connected to Arthurian retellings (I’ve overdosed, I guess). But Elizabeth Wein’s early WINTER PRINCE series is an exception. I will say, only THE WINTER PRINCE itself draws strongly on the Arthurian mythos; after that, the series departs pretty thoroughly from Arthurian canon. My own introduction to Wein’s writing was THE SUNBIRD — I’ll have a guest post about that on Chachic’s blog later in the week. And I’ll certainly be following along to see what the other guest posts are about — though carefully, because I am still trying to avoid spoilers for CODE NAME VERITY and ROSE UNDER FIRE.
Anyway — let’s hear it for Elizabeth Wein (and for Chachic)! I’m very glad to see a fine author whose first series didn’t get the buzz it deserved getting some attention now for her historical fiction.
Yay! Thanks for the guest post and for spreading the word about the event here on your blog.
