It's giveaway day!
I have chosen 4 Young Adult Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Alternate History books that I really enjoyed, each the first in their series, and I will let you decide which one you want to win! I will offer these either as a US Kindle or Nook copy, or a physical copy from Book Depository available to anywhere Book Depository will ship, winners choice. Read on to see what each is about.
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
“There are only two
reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said.
“Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.”
It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.
Every
year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the
soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this
year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.
His
name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at
Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away
from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.
But
Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it
all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much
more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven
Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege
around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and
Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but
says very little.
For as long as she can remember, Blue has been
warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this
would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the
strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore. |
The Last Dragonslayer by Jasper Fforde
In the good old days,
magic was indispensable—it could both save a kingdom and clear a clogged
drain. But now magic is fading: drain cleaner is cheaper than a spell,
and magic carpets are used for pizza delivery. Fifteen-year-old
foundling Jennifer Strange runs Kazam, an employment agency for
magicians—but it’s hard to stay in business when magic is drying up. And
then the visions start, predicting the death of the world’s last dragon
at the hands of an unnamed Dragonslayer. If the visions are true,
everything will change for Kazam—and for Jennifer. Because something is
coming. Something known as . . . Big Magic. |
Inside Out by Maria V. Snyder
Keep Your Head Down. Don't Get Noticed. Or Else.
I'm
Trella. I'm a scrub. A nobody. One of thousands who work the lower
levels, keeping Inside clean for the Uppers. I've got one friend, do my
job and try to avoid the Pop Cops. So what if I occasionally use the
pipes to sneak around the Upper levels? The only neck at risk is my
own…until I accidentally start a rebellion and become the go-to girl to
lead a revolution... |
Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld
It is the cusp of World
War I. The Austro-Hungarians and Germans have their Clankers,
steam-driven iron machines loaded with guns and ammunition. The British
Darwinists employ genetically fabricated animals as their weaponry.
Their Leviathan is a whale airship, and the most masterful beast in the British fleet.
Aleksandar
Ferdinand, a Clanker, and Deryn Sharp, a Darwinist, are on opposite
sides of the war. But their paths cross in the most unexpected way,
taking them both aboard the Leviathan on a fantastical, around-the-world
adventure….One that will change both their lives forever. |
