Sora's Quest 'revamped' blog tour. Review, Dream Cast & Giveaway **



~ THIS BOOK IS FREE EVERYDAY! GRAB YOUR COPY NOW ~
 

 


Sora Fallcrest was born into Nobility. She has it all: money, maids, a fancy estate. But she never expected to be kidnapped.
...
Abducted from her manor, Sora is plunged into a world of magical races, arcane jewelry and forgotten lore. She finds herself at the mercy of a dangerous assassin, haunted by an even darker past. She yearns for freedom, but he won't let her go -- not when her Cat's Eye necklace is the only thing that can save his life.

But the necklace itself presents a problem. It is an ancient device from the long forgotten War of the Races, and its magic has the ability to steal souls. Can Sora learn to wield its power -- or will the power wield her? (Winner of the SKOW 2006 Best Fantasy Award)


Let me start by saying, Cover LOVE! The story did not disappoint, I was jerked in from the first page and, before I knew it, I was screaming at my Kindle because I’d come to the end. The writing and the story are completely original and, although you’re just reading the story, it will seem as though you’ve been swept away and dropped into the middle of Sora’s world; Shreffler is just that good a writer. Her characters embody realism, depth and courage.

Crash (AKA Viper) stole the book for me though, a complete ass to the point of hating him in the beginning.. and yet, there is that mystery about him that makes you second guess your initial opinion of him. Sexy, brooding and secretive; I can’t wait to run into him again in book 2 (conveniently titled Viper’s Creed!). I thoroughly enjoyed watching the relationships between the characters as they developed and grew, leaving me in tears several times! Shreffler leaves us on the edge of a cliff, anxiously waiting to see what will happen with Sora and Crash.

I do love a strong female character and Sora definitely delivers. She is young and unsure of herself to start but, she is determined to see her journey through to the end and becomes extremely loyal and protective of her 3 new friends by the end.

 
 
T. L. Shreffler lives in Los Angeles, CA. She loves diversity, fantasy, romance, iced tea, long walks, philosophy, and thrift store shopping. She recently graduated with a BA in Badass (Creative Writing) and her poetry has been published consecutively in Eclipse: A Literary Journal and The Northridge Review. She works as the assistant editor for the funky and fantastic Tinsel Tokyo Magazine.
 
TAMS DREAM CAST FOR THE CAT'S EYE CHRONICLES
 
My pick for Sora is Zoey Deutch. You may recognize her from the ill fated Beautiful Creatures movie, and she has taken on the coveted role of Rose Hathaway in The Vampire Academy movie coming in 2014! Daughter of Hollywood alum Leah Thompson.
 
 
My pick for Viper/Crash is Jake Gyllenhaal. Jake is fierce, sexy and slightly scary, just like Viper!
 
 
Volcrain, now this one is a bit more difficult to choose. Volcrain is part distinguished, evil and tormented with a dash of serial killer thrown in for good measure! My pick for Volcrain is Eddie Redmayne. Most of you will remember his stellar performance in Les Miserables, but I loved him as the tortured soul son of Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie in The Good Shepard and the twisted killer in Like Minds.
