The Championship Round
After many a bracket and much trash talking, it’s down to two books:
Patricia Briggs’ “Iron Kissed” vs. Joanna Bourne’s “The Spymaster’s Lady.” Quite a battle: exceptionally-researched and written historical romance with plot twists and uncommon characters battling conspiracy and mystery, pitted against a paranormal series with a kick-ass heroine in an entirely different era dealing with werewolves and… conspiracy and mystery. Two very different books yet both are similar in key areas: strong characters, nimble writing, deft twists and turns, and incredibly absorbing writing.
