The Book of Days
The Book of Days | K.A. Barker
3 posts | 3 read
Most people believe the best way to forget someone is to throw them down a well. Or lock them in a room with eight keys, or bury them at a crossroad in the thirteenth hour. But they're wrong. The best way to forget someone is for them never to have existed in the first place. When sixteen-year-old Tuesday wakes from sleep for the first time, she opens her eyes to a world filled with wonder - and peril. Left only with a letter from the person she once was, Tuesday sets out to discover her past with the help of her charming and self-serving guide, Quintalion. Along the way she runs into mercenaries, flying cities, airships, and a blind librarian. But what is her connection with the mysterious Book of Days - a book that holds untold power... 'Just when I thought nothing new could be achieved in fantasy, along comes The Book of Days. K.A. Barker has created an extraordinary world, a series of compelling landscapes and an unforgettable cast of characters. All hail K.A. Barker for giving us something so dazzlingly different! And funny too!' JOHN MARSDEN

Just finished my Litsy postal markup read The Book of Days. It was way outside my comfort zone being fantasy and YA. It is an adventure with a bit of everything in it. I liked it for the first few chapters but it lost me, I think because it lacked depth. Sorry @Sarz I wanted to like it more😩 @LapReader @thegreensofa

thegreensofa I received your lmpbc pick this week. Thank you! :) I‘m right on it and started straight away! 😀💛📖 5y
Freespirit Oh that's good @thegreensofa hope you enjoy it😊 5y
Sarz I don't think it's a good example of either genre. I didn't think much of it either, and I usually enjoy fantasy. 5y
Freespirit It‘s good to take me outside my comfort zone @sarz 😊 5y

I really, really wanted to like this, but I just couldn't. The concept sounds so awesome but there wasn't enough world building and I just couldn't get into it. I was left feeling so confused, and so dumb because so much didn't make sense to me.

Hoping this was just me and that the rest of my #lmpbc friends have better luck with it. It's on its way to @Freespirit now.
