Ughh, super apologies everyone. School started and just blehh. Anyway, to what I know you have all been dying to hear! Book Reviews! This is actually a -gasp- library book, part of the Claidi Journals by Tanith Lee. I first started reading this because a friend had checked it out and by literally the seventh page, I was hooked. [The friend in question I actually met (and havn't talked to since) while I was in a play, which was amazing and awesome and I got to be a mermaid! (: ]
Anyway, it's about Claidi, a servant -cough-slave-cough- girl. She's aprox. sixteen years old and has lived in the House for all of her life. The House is a big city in the middle of a harsh desert, or so they're told. She's a servant for Lady Jade Leaf, who she despises.
It's interestingly enough, told in first person, journal format. It's quite entertaining, it begins with her telling us that she has stolen a journal to write in. Her life is pretty much boring until a stranger in a flying machine crashes in the city, claming to come from the Waste. [desert] Before she knows what's going on, she's helping him escape, half in love, half not. We follow her though kiddnappings, bandits, sacrifices and betrayals.
It gripped my mind throughout the entire thing, I finished it super fast. I would read it again, and definetly recommend it, however, you'll probably have better luck finding it in a library than a bookstore because it is around ten years old. [Copyrighted in 1998 and published in 2000]
Well, if you've stuck by us, than lovelovelove to youuu<3
Elena over and out.
