Sword and Verse has actually been on my TBR for quite a while. I love fantasy, and this one sounds like something I would love. I mean, fantasy and epic romance, what else does one need
ReplyDeleteI got Sword & Verse downloaded into my Kindle last night, but I was too engrossed on the other series to pick it up, but I will very soon!
ReplyDeleteSword and Verse!! I've heard good things about this book -- can't wait to read it myself!
ReplyDeleteI'm compelled by the connection between the title description. So often the title only vaguely fits the storyline, so I find it refreshing!
ReplyDeleteWeek three already? Damn, time is moving fast :) Thank you for sharing about this sweet girl. <3 I'm so curious about Sword & Verse. Yet not really thinking I would enjoy it, sadly :p

ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of Sword & Verse until seeing it on book blogs. Now it's on The List.

I am currently obsessed with epic fantasy (just finished Throne of Glass series, recently read the Graceling series and the Girl of Fire and Thorn series). I look forward to reading another fantasy with a strong female character.
ReplyDeleteSword and Verse was love hate for me to be honest, I think if I read it at a different time I would have loved it (plus my mind would have been more on the story) I am excited for the companion novel though!
