Last night I finished reading Far in the Wilds, the prequel novel to A Spear of Summer Grass.



A few years ago I started to read ASoSG but was turned off by the over sexual nature of the story. After recently reading A Curious Beginning, I decided I would give this saga another try because I do so enjoy Deanna Raybourn's writing. This week I started reading ASoSG again and when I came across the introduction of the character Ryder, I decided I wanted a little background on his story. So I hiatus ASoSG and picked up FitW.

Far in the Wilds was a great read. I got it when it was a freebie on Kindle, but I have noted that it is also available in the Overdrive R.E.A.D.S. Library system as a digital book as well. It apparently translates to about 54 physical pages and I read it in about two evenings before bed. I think it may be the most personal side I have ever read of one of Deanna's male characters, because her stories are usually completely told from the female protagonist's angle and it was a neat intrigue to get to know a bit more about the man that frames the character Ryder.

This eBook prequel has left me wanting to read more, and I'm picking up A Spear of Summer Grass again.
