The Cradle by Ron Sami

-

Love Book Tours invited me on the blog tour for Ron Sami’s first book. The Cradle, and I was intrigued. The cover is gorgeous and I couldn’t pass it up. The Cradle is the first book in The Eagre series. The second book, On the Eve, came in June 2021, and the third book, The Journey, is expected to be released in less than a month on April 21st. All the covers are amazing so great job to the team that designed them. The Eagre series are set in a fantasy world with dark magic and new lands. I’ve been expanding my reading from my normal genres and am glad I stretched for this book.

What I loved most about this book was the character names. Sami is extremely creative with names such as The Gift, Little Paw, Loyon, just to show a few examples. At the end of the book there is a cast of characters, which is helpful if you need clarification while reading as there are a lot of characters. The next thing I loved was Sami created a whole new world with its own rules. You have to suspend your belief of what is ‘normal’ to be in this world. That is one of the great things about fantasy books is that the author can create their own world. I’m so happy to bring this book to you today so you have a chance to read the first two books in the series before the third is published. After reading this book I can tell it is a series that should be read in order.

 

About the Author:

A huge thank to you to Love Book Tours and Ron Sami for letting me be a part of this blog tour. Please be sure to check out the other tour stops to hear more about this book.

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure. The adventure begins when we see through a boy’s window to find a young trombonist pausing his practice to wonder if other musical voices exist. When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle. The ease of poetry and vibrant il

Thank you to Rachel’s Random Resources for putting together this virtual book tour! About the Book: For Iris , each visit to her mother in St Mabon’s Cove, Cornwall has been the same – a serene escape from the city. But today, as she breathes in the salt air on the doorstep of her beloved childhood home, a heavy weight of anticipation settles over her. Iris knows she’s adopted, but any questions about where she came from have always been shut down by her parents, who can’t bear to revisit the past. Now, Iris can’t stop thinking about what she’s read on the official paperwork: BABY GIRL, FRANCE, 1939 – the year war was declared with Nazi Germany. When Iris confronts her mother, she hits the same wall of pain and resistance as whenever she mentions the war. That is, until her mother tearfully hands her an old tin of letters, tucked neatly beside a delicate piece of ivory wool. Retreating to the loft, Iris steels herself to at last learn the truth, however painful it might be. Bu
