Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Books and a Beat.
Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
This is my choice of the day:
The Banished Craft – Book 1 of The Shkode Trilogy by E.D.E. Bell
75% WHAT ARE THESE CREATURES DOING? I MUST TRY HARDER TO REACH THEM. WHATEVER THEY HAVE DONE, THEY ARE ON A COURSE TO DESTROY THEMSELVES FASTER THAN I WOULD HAVE IMAGINED.
I AM SORRY, LITTLE CREATURES. I AM SORRY.
BLURB: Struggling to solve the mystery of her parents’ murder, Cor comes across a mystery much deeper—a secret society who predicted that someday their world would be devastated. That time is now. In a world where women are not allowed to read, live alone, or pursue knowledge Cor presses forward, discovering a new magic and the power to wield it.
A world away, Atesh works in the Imperial Labs, devoting his study to the turmoil destroying his home and endangering dragonkind. Instead he discovers a long-hidden truth. Humans are real.
This is another offering from my TBR pile. I reviewed the sequel, The Fettered Flame, to this genre mash-up earlier in the year. This epic science fiction/fantasy adventure is set across two worlds, which have been accidentally sundered by one of the children belonging to Mother, who is featured in my teaser. I really enjoyed the quirky otherness of The Fettered Flame – and although I’m reading them back to front (not necessarily to be recommended) once more, I’ve fallen under the spell of Bell’s unusual take on the fantasy genre.

Interesting teaser and synopsis.😀
Thank you, Drew. It’s a fascinating world.
You always seem to find new and interesting books that I’ve never come across before. This definitely sounds like my kind of read. Will be looking forward to your review
Thank you, Ali – what a lovely thing to say:). I will definitely be reviewing it – The Fettered Flame is one of those books that I keep thinking about months after reading it, so I really needed to get hold of this one, too!
Sounds intriguing. I haven’t heard of this one before. My teaser this week is from Sinner by Maggie Stiefvater. Happy reading!
Thank you, Kathy:). I’ll pop on over right now – I’m conscious that Maggie Stiefvater is someone I should be reading…
This sounds fascinating. I’d definitely read it, Sarah:)
My TT from Christmas Magic 1959
I love the cover for this book. Sounds like a fun read.
My Teaser Tuesdays post.
Thank you! It is a really enjoyable book. Thank you for swinging by:).
Sounds interesting for sure.
Mine this week is from Rick Riordan’s The Blood of Olympus: https://wp.me/p3Nz8P-14i
Thank you. I like Percy Jackson so I’ll be heading over to check out your TT:).
Hi Sarah. Why are they always trying to keep us women down? Are they afraid of us? 🙂
sherry @ My TT
Those who are trying to keep us down? Oh for sure – yes – they are afraid of us…
This one sounds interesting. I hope this one is just as good as book 2. Will keep an eye out for your review of this one as I am curious to hear your thoughts about it.
Yes – so far I’ve really enjoyed the way Bell has developed and fleshed out this interesting world and characters.
This does sound unusual, and good! I like the teaser you shared. I feel bad for them too–humans, I take it?
Humans AND dragons… Poor Mother is very guilty – but then a Mother’s place is generally in the wrong:).
Your teaser leaves me intrigued. Mine is at http://powerfulwomenreaders.com It is from the first book of a trilogy I can hardly wait to get further into!
Thank you, Rae:).
I am intrigued, and it’s not my usual read. I do want to know more! Thanks for sharing, and here’s mine:
“IN HER WAKE”
Thank you, Laurel. I really like Bell’s writing…
Thank you, Laurel. It is enjoyably different.
Sounds good! I hope you enjoy and look forward to checking out your thoughts.
Lynn 😀
Thank you, Lynn. Of course, this time around it isn’t that I’m racing towards the end to find out what happens because I already sort of know… It’s learning how she gets there!
What an interesting idea for a book.
It really is:)
This does sound unusual, and good – although I shuddered when I read that women weren’t allowed to read!
I know! Bell has lots to say about oppression in its many forms and how it deforms society, which I really like.
Fascinating teaser! Here is my TT: http://shoshireads.weebly.com/home/teaser-tuesday1363034
Thank you for popping in, Shoshi. Yes, I’m really enjoying this one and I’ll be dropping in to check out your TT…:)
I don’t read much sci-fi or fantasy, but I’m intrigued by the world this author has created. Sounds like you’re enjoying this story.
My Tuesday post features MIAMI MORNING.
Yes, this is a really rewarding read – I enjoyed your TT Miami Morning and hope you, too, enjoy reading it, Sandra:)
I think I vaguely recall your review of the sequel 🙂
