If you know me, you know that I love anything and everything by Amy Harmon. I've been an avid follower and reader since I first read Making Faces in October of 2013. I fell fast and hard!
So needless to say that when she decided to create a beautiful and magical fantasy world, I was all over it.
If you know me, you know that The Bird and the Sword is one of my all time favorite books. One of the most beautifully written and expressed books. I loved it so much, that I made my sister read it. And she too fell in love with it.
So when Amy said that she would be writing about Kjell of Jeru, I was a little skeptical at first, because I thought that there was no way that she would be able to outdo herself. Yet, she managed to. She was able to create even more beautiful and perfect words in which I fell even more in love with.
"It was not your face I fell in love with. It was not your great, sad eyes or your soft mouth, or the gold flecks on your skin or the shape of your body. I fell in love with you pieces. Layer by layer, day by day, inch by inch."
There is something to be said for an author who can continue to create such beautiful work. She continues to amaze me as a reader and person, because her words bring comfort to my soul. Not many can do that. And it feels so effortlessly - like it's meant to happen.
So yes, I'll continue to read anything that Amy writes, because she's completely won me over! This was definitely one of those awesome and amazing reads!!
