Welcome on The Twelves Kingdoms Day event!!!!
Jeffe Kennedy is releasing the third book in the Twelves Kigdoms series today and to celebrate that she is offering the prequel novella " Negociation" for free but hurry because that offer will be for a limited time only!
Before the only opportunity to read it was in the anthology " Thunder on Battlefield, vol II" but now it's available in ebook format. A good way to start on the series if you haven't already and a sweet bonus for those who are up to date. In any case i had to share it with you ( i love the cover)
Book Description: Negotiation by
Jeffe Kennedy
A Story of
the Twelve Kingdoms
A wounded warrior
trapped by the sorceress who knows him better than he does himself…
General Uorsin
escapes the last devastating battle, only to find himself alone on a mountain,
feverish and no closer to finding the paradise that drives him on. Salena,
greatest shapeshifter and magic-worker of her people, springs the trap she’s
set to protect her land—and to prevent the ravager Uorsin from ever reaching
it.
Together, they spend
a night setting the terms that will determine not only the rest of their lives,
but the fates of the peoples of the Twelve Kingdoms—and the thirteenth.
A description it's not always enough to decide a reader to pick a book or not so i was even more happy when i got the opportunity to review this novella so here is what i thought of it.
My opinion:
I love when a novella gives us a real insight into the story and
author’s writing style which is what “Negociation” does. If like me you haven’t
started the series yet this prequel is a wonderful entry in this universe in
which the author put a lot of work building.
You can see how engaging her writing is
and all the complexity of the world but also how determined the characters can
be….Jeffe really put a lot of thinking into her character building and it shows
even in such a short story. Salena knows what she wants and she did think, a
lot even, before acting even if the outcome she knows will happen isn’t ideal,
far from it;…I’m not sure I would have been able to make the same choice as
her.
Uorsin….i don’t like him he makes my
skin crawls and I fear Salena did not measure all consequences and even that
aside just how he considers women makes me disliking him greatly.
And here come the detail that perhaps
makes this series not one for me at the moment despite all the beauty of this
universe and lovely writing…. In this series the women are acting, they are not
simple trophies so far so good but even from this novella we can get that the
author isn’t against making them use sex as a weapon…. I’m not naïve, I know
women in all history often had to use that trick, weapon to survive or worse
and I can read paranormal romance so it’s not the description that really
bothers me either.- By the way in the
novella they only speak of it, no steamy scene or nothing so don’t hesitate to
give it a try- It’s just that I’m not comfortable with that idea, at least
at this moment.
This is a fantasy romance so you can
expect a mix of them and there isn’t a perfect ideal balance either it depends
on the moment if fantasy or romance must be prevalent. I have no problem with
that….after all I need some romance in my books but it’s also the reason why I
can’t take it lightly either.. I want love not sex ( not sure if I’m being clear) so I fear it will come to clash for me at some moment
of the story….the question is will this fear be enough to prevent me for
trying….i don’t think so but at least I come prepared.
So do I recommend this novella?
DEFINITIVELY! Either you will be in love with the universe and jump on the
first book if you haven’t already or it will at least gives you a really good
idea of the style so you can make your choice in all conscience but one thing
for sure the author is more than talented and really kind so don’t hesitate to
send her a message if you read her books.
So interested? Remember you can this Free for a limited time so don't be shy and gives it a try!
