Finished up Book No. 2 last night at work.
I read "The Crown's Game" by Evelyn Skye.
It's a historical fiction/fantasy novel. Alexander Tsar of Russia is dealing with unrest in his country and decides he needs to find an enchanter to help him run his country. Unfortunately, there is more then one enchanter and so there must be a "game" to decide who will work for the Tsar. As there can only be one enchanter, at the end of the game, the other will die.
I am not positive, but I think the book is geared towards teenagers. It just has that feeling. If that makes sense.
It is Ms. Skye's first novel. The ending leaves open for the possibility of a sequel, but it doesn't really say one way or the other.


Book List 2017
January:
1. Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett PAGES 324
2. The Crown's Game by Evelyn Skye PAGES 399

Oh I definitely not above reading "kids" books. :p
I just thought this was a "grown up" book. Never judge a book by it's cover as they say. LOL.......

You are off to a great start. I am back to reading the Father Brown short stories. Oh and I did read a Nero Wolfe/Archie Mystery, but it wasn't by Rex Stout, some other guy. It was pretty good!
Hugz,
Helen,
p.s. Sorry to be such a stranger, I have been feeling so strange lately!

Don't apologize.
There have been some days lately that I have really just felt like setting it all aside and just ignoring every thing.
I would love to have another 5 hours or so in each day. :o

I am about half behind last year. I was reading about 4 books by now. :p
