It is more real, more tender, more inward-looking, more fantastic, lyrical. <a href=\"https://vanessafogg.com/\">Vanessa</a> has done a great job with the world-building – beautiful, evocative, familiar yet different enough.</p>\n<p>The story evokes loneliness, melancholy, and a the same time grit and celebration. I love the story as much as the world and would love to read more books set in this world.</p>\n<p>But no review of this book will be complete without mentioning its cover by <a href=\"https://likhain.net/\">Likhain</a>. Vibrant and detailed, beautiful. Matches the mood of the book perfectly.</p>\n<p>A highly recommended short, beautiful read.</p>\n<p>Disclosure: I received an advance review copy from the publisher <a href=\"https://annorlundaenterprises.com/books/\">Annorlunda Books</a></p>\n<p>Buy book on</p>\n<p><strong>Format:</strong></p>\n<p><strong>On Amazon (Kindle EBook / Paperback)</strong> – <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2aNFLTJ\">The Lilies of Dawn</a> by Vanessa Fogg</p>","frontmatter":{"title":"The Lilies of Dawn – book review","date":"August 03, 2016","url":"/the-lilies-of-dawn-book-review/","tags":["Thoughts"]}}},"pageContext":{"slug":"/the-lilies-of-dawn-book-review/","previous":{"fields":{"slug":"/2016-07-01-screen-free-hour-experiment-for-july-2016/"},"frontmatter":{"title":"Screen Free Hour – Experiment for July 2016","url":"/screen-free-hour-experiment-for-july-2016/","tags":["Thoughts"]}},"next":{"fields":{"slug":"/techmart-making-my-sofobomo-2016-book/2016-09-12-techmart-making-my-sofobomo-2016-book/"},"frontmatter":{"title":"Techmart – making my SoFoBoMo 2016 book","url":"/techmart-making-my-sofobomo-2016-book/","tags":["Photography","Thoughts"]}}}},"staticQueryHashes":["3128451518","426816048"]}
