I am not the kind of person who will reads the books synopsis before starting it. In order my priorities in choosing books are:
1. Author Style
2. Friend Recommendation
3. Popularity
4. Teacher Recommendation
5. Author
6. Cover
7. The Synopsis (always my last resort)
Given my dislike for spoilers, I downloaded Rebel Belle on my phone and finished listening to it in 2 days. I had no idea what to expect, but it certainly was words like "paladin" or "oracle" being calmly discussed in a classy southern drawl. I did not expect heels to become weapons or for me to be furious when an opportunity to break the enemy's neck is lost.
I am not a violent person, and I do not like violent books. And while there was fighting, I was never disturbed by it. It is kind of like how the main character refuses to use the "F" word (which I much appreciated). There is an air of class thrown over the whole thing and you come out wondering if you want to move to the south or curl up into a fetal position until all of your questions are solved.
With that jumble of seemingly contradictory praise, all I can say is I want to try a piece of hummingbird cake and I'm relieved there is a second one!
Four Stars!
