Review of NETGALLEY arc Greenteeth by Molly O’Neill

25 April

As soon as I saw this offering featured by some of my book blogging buddies – I knew it was written just for me. Apart from anything else, the cover and blurb reminded me strongly of another brilliant series drawing upon the myths and legends of Britain – Juliet E. McKenna’s The Green Man series – see my reviews of The Green Man’s Heir, The Green Man’s Foe, The Green Man’s Silence , The Green Man’s Challenge, The Green Man’s Quarry and The Green Man’s War.

21 April

No matter how dreadful Life is – books can make things better. And when a favourite author gets in touch and asks if I’d like an arc of their latest work, then that brightens the grimmest day. Which was what happened when Joanna Maciejewska contacted me about this offering. I’m a real fan of this writer – Pacts Arcane and Otherwise, is one of my all-time favourite Sand and Sorcery series – see my reviews of By the Pact, Scars of Stone, Shadows of Kaighal and Demon Siege. I also thoroughly enjoyed Joanna’s urban fantasy series set in an alternate Ireland – Shadows of Eireland – Humanborn, Myth-Touched and Snakebitten.
