![]() ![]() I had to do another re-read of both books. I was worried you wouldn’t be able to match its excellence with Tower Lord, but you did and if anything, you topped it! I re-read Blood Song just before Tower Lord was released and after reading Tower Lord, I couldn’t let the story and characters go. I am sorry it took me so long to finally read it! He recommended we read Blood Song while waiting for his next Ryria books and I remembered I had it on my reader. I had finished reading Michael Sullivan’s Ryria Revelations and joined his Goodreads Dark Room group. I bought it and downloaded it but I didn’t read it for several months. I think I found Blood Song while browsing the inexpensive ebooks on B&N. It hooked me on fantasy and with a voracious appetite for the genre I have been reading on average 2-4 books a week since then. I was in the hospital coronary care recovering from a near fatal heart attack and I asked my son to bring me something to read that would help take my mind off my ills and to help pass the time. My adult son introduced me to fantasy almost 4 years ago just a week before Christmas. ![]() ![]() I am an older reader but fairly new to reading fantasy. ![]()

Instead, his own fate is mirrored in Carmentis’ first speech, on the topic of exile. ![]() She strikingly contrasts with the poet Ovid, who will not receive similar honors. Carmentis both prophesies and prefigures what will become an entire chain of deifications of members of the house of Augustus, and she is deified herself. Harking back to Aeneid 8, where Carmentis is mentioned in passing, Ovid presents her in a new light: as a vates of exile and deification. In Fasti 1, the festival dedicated to Carmentis, a prophetess ( vates) named after carmen, “song” itself, has strong programmatic implications for Ovid’s own song and his vatic persona. ![]() ![]() ![]() Peter tells Benjamin that his clothes are in Mr. ![]() When Benjamin looks at him, he see that Peter looks poorly, and is dressed in a red cotton pocket handkerchief.
