I’ve decided that two days a week on my blog isn’t really cutting it. It allows me to be a little lazy. My Goodreads also informs me that I am three books behind so I plan on catching up and flying past so that I am three books ahead. Hence my Monday Book Recommendations weekly posts, where I recommend a book to you and take in book requests. I’ve started already on my Tumblr account (yes I have Tumblr, don’t judge me haha) so feel free to follow me here and there for updates. Let’s also not forget that every book I recommend or receive as recommendation, I add to my Goodreads book list.
Let’s jump right in to it with the first book recommendation of the month:
By Darkness Hid
Written by Jill Williamson
Given the chance to train as a squire, kitchen servant Achan Cham hopes to pull himself out of his pitiful life and become a Kingsguard Knight. When Achan’s owner learns of his training, he forces Achan to spar with the Crown Prince–more of a death sentence than an honor. Meanwhile, strange voices in Achan’s head cause him to fear he’s going mad. While escorting the prince to a council presentation, their convoy is attacked. Achan is wounded and arrested, but escapes from prison–only to discover a secret about himself he never believed possible.
