Hi Book Lovers and Welcome to Teaser Tuesdays for the 24th June 2014!
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Should Be Reading. Which asks you to do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS!
• Share the title & author
On to my teaser ......
My teaser sentences are from Thief's Magic by Trudi Canavan, which I am still currently reading. The teaser's can be found 79% into the book.
Synopsis - In a world where an industrial revolution is powered by magic, Tyen, a student of archaeology, unearths a sentient book called Vella. Once a young sorcerer-bookbinder, Vella was transformed into a useful tool by one of the greatest sorcerers of history. Since then she has been collecting information, including a vital clue to the disaster Tyen's world faces.
Elsewhere, in an land ruled by the priests, Rielle the dyer's daughter has been taught that to use magic is to steal from the Angels. Yet she knows she has a talent for it, and that there is a corrupter in the city willing to teach her how to use it - should she dare to risk the Angels' wrath.
But not everything is as Tyen and Rielle have been raised to believe. Not the nature of magic, nor the laws of their lands . . . Not even the people they trust.
Here are my teasers.......
People tripped over themselves in their haste to get away.
She flinched from it, too late to have avoided it if the thrower's aim had been better.
