It has been a busy couple of weeks here at Chez LaFevers. His Fair Assassin Two is due to my editor Monday morning and I am waaaay farther from the end than I would like to be.
But! There has been lots of cool news and many good things happening. First, GRAVE MERCY received its third starred review from PW! My favorite bit:
"Rich in historical detail, well-realized characters, political machinations, and enticingly prickly scenes between Ismae and Duval, LaFevers's complex tale incorporates magic both sparingly and subtly."
Heh. Enticingly prickly. I like that.
We also learned that it also made #3 on the Spring 2012 Indie Kids Next List! (Thank you, thank you Indie booksellers!!) And boy, there are so many amazing books on that full list that I can't wait to read!
And lastly, I can share the UK cover. It is mostly the same as the US cover, but they've made a few subtle changes. Not just the font—although I do love the font they used—but also in terms of lighting and shadows.

I just finished this morning and OMG!! It's going to FOREVER until the next volume-how will I ever survive-lol
I swear I am writing as fast as I can! :-) In fact, I am just 20 pages away from finishing the first draft of Book Two, which is due to my editor Monday!
I'm so glad and I'm sure more than a few of my co-workers will be too after the arc makes the rounds. I was just lucky enough to get first dibs on it :) Being friends with Billie has it's perks! It goes to the next person tomorrow morning.
I stayed up until 3am to finish Grave Mercy.... Completely and utterly brilliant! Is there any chance that Ismae's story continues? Or will it change to another assassin?Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee either way I'm extremely excited.
