Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading and here's how it works:
Grab your current read
Open to a random page
Share a snippet from somewhere on that page but be careful not to include spoilers
My teaser this week is from The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa:
"Flashes, " the oracle said, waving her hand dismissively. "The far-future is a constantly changing wave, always in motion, never certain. The story changes with every breath. Every decision we make sends it down another path. But..." She narrowed her hollow eyes at me. "There is one constant in your future, child, and that is pain. Pain and emptiness, for your friends, the ones you hold dearest to your heart, are nowhere to be seen."
THE IRON QUEEN (Iron Fey #3) from Goodreads:
My name is Meaghan Chase.
I thought it was over.That my time with the fey, the impossible choices I had to make, the sacrifices of those I loved, was behind me. But a storm is approaching, an army of Iron fey that will drag me back, kicking and screaming. Drag me away from the banished prince who's sworn to stay by my side. Drag me into the core of a conflict so powerful, I'm not sure anyone can survive it.
This time, there will be no turning back.
I have about 75 pages to go of this one, and I'm loving it!

ReplyDeleteOh my, definitely not good news if the only constant is pain. My TT: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/12/teaser-tuesdays-love-me-to-death.html
ReplyDeleteI've heard so many good things about the Iron Queen, unfortunately I haven't even started the series so I'm way behind!

I loved The Iron Queen and love that teaser quote. Happy reading:)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a rather bleak prediction! But a good teaser. Hope you're enjoying the book.
ReplyDeleteHere's my teaser.
Awwww...that is a good quote! I've been meaning to get this book, just haven't spotted it in three different bookstores in Bangalore.
ReplyDeleteMy teaser is from a favorite series which I am re-reading in parts: You can visit this David Weber book and my latest update on ebook news at e-Volving Books
This has been on my list!
ReplyDeleteOoh awesome! I have these books in my TBR pile, all 3 with an EARC of Iron Queen as well, need to get going on those!
ReplyDeleteHere's mine
Awesome teaser, Jenny! This makes me really want to start this series. I'm seriously pondering it now :D
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser! I read the first book in this series and really enjoyed it. Hopefully I can pick up the 2nd book over the holidays.
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser Jenny! I really need to read this series because I have heard such amazing things.

One day, I am actually going to sit down and read this series. I hope that you are enjoying it. Wanna see what my Teaser for Tuesday is?
ReplyDeletewooohooo cant wait to see your thoughts on this one =D
ReplyDeleteHere is my teaser from Out of Touch by Brandon Tietz (Page vii):
ReplyDeleteI used to be the kind of guy that would have no problem reading Playboy or Hustler on an airplane, but that me in "the before," and nearly everything has changed since that time in my life a little over a year ago.
This is not a coming of age story.
If that's what you're wanting then I suggest you put this down and read something else: something with a happy ending. Like Penthouse.
Or: the funny pages.
This is me giving you your official warning.
Because where this goes, you might not be ready for.
Oooh, I have heard great things about this series, what a great teaser :) Mine is at:
