Who loves this name for the final instalment for Of Blood and Bone?

It seems rather apt, doesn't it? Either that or; A Time of Truth. I think Courage sounds better though.

I love the name! I still don't know how he's going to wrap everything up in one book (maybe that's because I ..."

One of the benefits of being his son is that I have already read it :).

It is my favourite of the series, and he definitely manages to wrap it up. You're in for a treat!

I'll probably be inconsolable for a few days (at the most) after I finish reading A Time of Courage.

After reading it, and sobbing myself, I think you will...

finishing a series that you really loved is heartbreaking. i talk with other people who don't read and tell them about the feelings a good book gives you and they stare at me like... are you mad, how can a bundle o paper make you feel sad or overjoyed? well i guess it's their loss. i had friends who described the feeling as loosing your loved pet. that is what a good book is really about, making you feel, making you love that bundle of paper like crazy.

I agree! Words carry power that can manipulate your feelings, often in a wonderful journey of heartbreak or tragedy or heroism and so forth. A Time of Courage is definitely one of those books that will take you on a rollercoaster journey through every emotion!

it's just so weird though, it's like i knew Corban and now reading how some characters remember him and the other sends the chills down my spine. that's what this is all about ,God damn good writing.

It does cause many goosebumps! So many emotional moments when you remember the past characters

I have now seen a draft of the cover for A Time of Courage.....

It is amazing!

Awesome! John when can I be reading this?

Well, the hardback will be released in Spring 2020...

Can't wait to complete my collection with the hardback!

Michael wrote: "Can't wait to complete my collection with the hardback!"

Ooo they will look amazing together!

Only three months until the publication for A Time of Courage! Who will be pre-ordering?

I'm already having customers asking about it! I am buying the whole trilogy the day it releases to read all three back to back. SO HYPED!

Will.J.R. wrote: "Only three months until the publication for A Time of Courage! Who will be pre-ordering?"

I don't usually pre-order; I prefer to wait (after all I've waited a year for it to release) lol. Looking forward to it.

I don't usually pre-order. I just wait with baited breath until I can get my hands on one at Indigo in Toronto. I can hardly wait.

Do you work in a bookshop?

Hahah discipline. I'm going to read the first two in the series before it is released.

The day will come. TRUTH AND COURAGE!

I do work in a book shop! Loving every minute of it. :)

Awesome - I'm jealous - LOL!
I asked for one and they asked me what my blog numbers were? So they wouldn't send me one. I've read probably more Fantasy over 5 decades than most, but I guess I need a bigger audience other than Goodreads?

Cool. I just don't have time to blog in multiple webs. I have too many irons in the fire as it is.
Enjoy - enjoy!

Thanks, Will! I'm going through a reading slump at the moment, so I'm hoping A Time of Courage brings me out of it, lol.

Ahh thats a shame. Think everyone goes through it though. If A Time of Courage doesn't bring you out of it, I don't know what will!

You'll love it Michael! In the meantime I'd recommend you take a healthy dose of Bernard Cornwell to ease you out of the slump!

Thanks, Edward, I do have The Winter King trilogy still to finish when I have the time. I'm reading Bloody Rose and its made me laugh at times, which is what I need at the moment.
