Mogsy’s Pick
The Wall of Storms by Ken Liu (October 4, 2016 by Saga Press)
Naturally, this second book of Liu’s Dandelion Dynasty series is on my must-read list after how much I enjoyed the first book The Grace of Kings.
“In the much-anticipated sequel to the “magnificent fantasy epic” Grace of Kings, Emperor Kuni Garu is faced with the invasion of an invincible army in his kingdom and must quickly find a way to defeat the intruders.
Kuni Garu, now known as Emperor Ragin, runs the archipelago kingdom of Dara, but struggles to maintain progress while serving the demands of the people and his vision. Then an unexpected invading force from the Lyucu empire in the far distant west comes to the shores of Dara—and chaos results.
But Emperor Kuni cannot go and lead his kingdom against the threat himself with his recently healed empire fraying at the seams, so he sends the only people he trusts to be Dara’s savvy and cunning hopes against the invincible invaders: his children, now grown and ready to make their mark on history.”
that’s quite an intriguing cover there

Something about those types of animal skulls creep me out hardcore. *shudders* I had a hard time reading the synopsis, my eyes kept glancing at the thing… *ahem* I hope you enjoy it! XD

I have to be honest and admit I have never really given this series much thought but while others are saying the cover is really creepy, I’d like to have the artwork of it to hang on my walls. Don’t know what that says about me.

It’s an interesting cover for sure! I don’t find it that creepy either. I think it’s arresting, but very cool.
