Day 10:Month-Long-Anniversary-Celebration: Featuring Bound By Prophecy by Melissa Wright (Giveaway)

Bookshelf Confessions presents:

Twenty-two-year-old Aern is done watching his brother destroy the only thing that matters. He never wanted to take Morgan’s place among council, never wanted to rule their hidden world. But when the key to the prophecy is found, a young girl named Brianna whom Morgan will destroy, Aern knows he has to take action.
What he really wants, is for things to go back to normal. But now he’s kidnapped a girl, and his brother’s men are after him. His only hope is to join with the Division, but they have plans of their own, and it’s the last thing Aern is willing to do.
Emily just wants her sister back. She doesn't care about the prophecy, or realize what’s at stake. But when she goes after Aern, the truth of the matter uncoils, and Brianna isn't the only one who’s in danger.
Suddenly, they’re at the center of a secret war, and unless they can work together, they’ll both have a sacrifice too big to make.

Blurb about the book:

Frey

The Frey Saga # 1

The Blurb

Unaware she's been bound from using magic, Frey leads a small, miserable life in the village where she's sent after the death of her mother. But a tiny spark starts a fury of changes and she finds hersef running from everything she's ever known.

Hunted by council for practicing dark magic, she is certain she's been wrongfully accused. She flees, and is forced to rely on strangers for protection. But the farther she strays from home, the more her magic and forgotten memories return and she begins to suspect all is not as it seems.
 ________________________________________________________________________________

ONE/TWO word/s that describe “Frey”?

I get "WILD RIDE" a lot from readers.

I agree, “Frey” gives me a roller coaster ride while reading it..:)

Can you give us ONE sentence why we should read your book?

It's a fun twist on the classic magical quest novel.

Why was the book called "Frey"?

Elfreda means "elf" or "elf strength" which fits into the story line. Plus, I loved the play on "fray" which pretty much sums up her life.

So that was the reason, very well-thought of..:)

If you would become one of the characters of your book, who would it be?

Ooh, this is hard. But I'd have to say Frey, even though she goes through so much. I think it would be worth it in the end.

I would definitely look for the sequel of this book even though Frey is a little bit dependent on her companions in “Frey”, so I hope to see more of her on the next one. By the way, if this would turn into a movie, who would be the main cast?

Jensen Ackles

I don't think I could cast Frey because she's so defined in my mind, but Chevelle and Steed could easily be the actors who play Sam and Dean on Supernatural.

Jared-Padalecki

That’s a great choice for actors..:)…Who knows someday, one of your books would be turned into movies. Though I agree, most characters are hard to find a great actor that would suit them up.

Music or Book? Why?

Depends on what I'm doing. I read to relax, escape. Music is the opposite, to get me going.

Love or Life? Why?

What fun is life without love? 

 

Reality or Fantasy? Why?

I would definitely choose reality. Fantasy is a nice break, but if fantasy were reality, what would we read?

Could you please complete the sentences:

If I can’t sleep, I would - cuddle with my Kindle and read a good book.

The craziest thing I did - is probably something that I shouldn't post on the internet. ;)

>I thought I’d caught you on this one..lol

My greatest dream is - to be able to write full time.

The place I’d like to go someday is - Australia.

One thing people don’t know about me is - I feel naked without my iPhone. I pretend I don't need it, but I really, really do.

I wish I had written - Sense and Sensibility.

Is there anything else you’d want to add ?

Thanks Abby. These are fun questions!

:) Melissa

Unaware she's been bound from using magic, Frey leads a small, miserable life in the village where she's sent after the death of her mother. But a tiny spark starts a fury of changes and she finds hersef running from everything she's ever known.

First, I’d like to say that I was in love with the cover, it isn’t really great, but the simple design, the lettering, the color, it just makes it so delicious to a hungry reader’s eyes..:D

At first, the book started slow for me, but as the story progresses and the information are getting clear, I found myself in an unending ladder of excitement and twists.

The author weaved this story wonderfully. The descriptions are vivid. Ms. Wright’s writing style is something I never experienced before, she makes the story a bit complicated and after a few pages, you would say, “so, that’s it!!!, that’s the reason!”. It’s a great book, when a reader is always thinking what would happen next and this is what happened to me with “Frey”.

The characters are developed well and really likable. I could definitely feel with them. I enjoyed reading each of their backstories which lead me to understand and loved them more. They are the kind of characters which would leave marks in your heart even long after you read the book.

I loved Freya/Elfreda a lot. Although I think this is a weakness of the book since the heroine (I think) is not strong enough to be considered a heroine. She always faints and rely on others to solve the problems. Meanwhile I feel her pain, her sufferings and I root for her, would be by her side til the end of her journey..:D >I wish to see her become the strong and great heroine that she really is in the next books..

The story is fast-paced; wherein the story never lies low, there’s always something to uncover and be excite about.

I was frustrated, saddened, thrilled, angered and hopeful. This is a roller-coaster ride I wouldn’t dare miss out. I am eagerly anticipating the next book in the series..:)

Packed with fantasy; elves, fairies and magical powers, Frey is a book I’d highly recommend!
