Check out the new book trailer for Lou Anders’ Frostborn, the first book of his Thrones and Bones series. I’m endlessly inspired by this guy’s journey as he transitions from being a Hugo Award-winning editor to best-selling author. He’s on his way, and the second book in the Thrones and Bones series, Nightborn, is coming on July 14th. In the meantime, Frostborn is newly available in paperback as well as Kindle, audio, and (my favorite version) hardcover. It’s received a shipful of starred reviews from coveted venues such as Publishers Weekly and Kirkus, and the fanbase is GROWING.
I’m fascinated at the ways in which Lou is building an epic gateway series, known for the kind of addictive fantasy novels for young readers that J.R.R. Tolkien and George R. R. Martin have created for adults. If you’re looking for the best summer reads for the kids in your life, or even for yourself — now’s the time to enter the world of Thrones and Bones!
Just (finally) got around to starting this over the weekend. I noticed Lou had put a link up to signed copies of the book on ThinkGeek and so I ordered hardcovers for Jeff and I (it was his birthday this past Monday).
Read about 70 pages last night and am loving it. Lou’s words and Justin Gerard’s illustrations make for a lovely pairing, and this book is exactly what I needed to be reading right now. It is hitting all the right buttons for me. I should be poised and ready to grab book two when it comes out here soon.
Great to hear. Sent this note to Lou and he appreciated it very much. Justin’s doing great work. Lou’s growing quite an audience army with these books. Sky’s the limit for Thrones & Bones!
