Arcanum 101 by Mercedes Lackey and Rosemary Edghill is £1.59 at Amazon UK today. A stand-alone urban fantasy boarding school story, apparently. First published in 2012, on Amazon since 2020, and this is the lowest price since then. Normally £5+

True. None of Hayao Miyazaki's adaptations would be considered faithful to the source material.

He at least does a better job than his son. Goro Miyazaki's garbled adaption of U.K. Le Guin's EarthSea series was...bleh.
Le Guin herself did not hate the film, though she also was quick to point out that it isn't her film and story. It's G. Miyazaki's film and story. Personally, I think the film is okay. It's not bad taken on its own, but neither is it great which I attribute to G. Miyazaki being competent as a director at his best while H. Miyazaki is competent as a director at his worst.

The Soldier Son Trilogy Bundle: Shaman's Crossing, Forest Mage, and Renegade's Magic by Robin Hobb - $1.99

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007Z4SH5O

Quote:
In Book One, Shaman's Crossing, Nevare Burvelle was destined from birth to be a soldier. The second son of a newly anointed nobleman, he must endure the rigors of military training at the elite King's Cavella Academy—and survive the hatred, cruelty, and derision of his aristocratic classmates—before joining the King of Gernia's brutal campaign of territorial expansion.

And it continues in the next two novels, Forest Mage and Renegade's Magic.

Cross posted from Horror

Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes is $3 at Amazon, B&N and Kobo. If you want it, get it quick. Last time it went on sale, the sale lasted like ten minutes.

Quote:
Titanic meets Event Horizon in this SF horror novel in which a woman and her crew board a decades-lost luxury cruiser and find the wreckage of a nightmare that hasn't yet ended.

Claire Kovalik is days away from being unemployed—made obsolete—when her beacon repair crew picks up a strange distress signal. With nothing to lose and no desire to return to Earth, Claire and her team decide to investigate.

What they find is shocking: the Aurora, a famous luxury spaceliner that vanished on its maiden tour of the solar system more than twenty years ago. A salvage claim like this could set Claire and her crew up for life. But a quick search of the ship reveals something isn’t right.

Whispers in the dark. Flickers of movement. Messages scrawled in blood. Claire must fight to hold on to her sanity and find out what really happened on the Aurora before she and her crew meet the same ghastly fate.

Patricia C. Wrede's A Matter of Magic, which collects her books Mairelon the Magician and The Magician's Ward, is on sale. $1.99 at Kobo Canada... $1.79 if you're a VIP member.

It's also on for $1.99 CDN at amazon.ca.

I've owned this collection for years... really enjoyed both books.

World of Howl Collection: Howl's Moving Castle, House of Many Ways, Castle in the Air
by Diana Wynne Jones is $4 at Amazon, B&N and Kobo. I'm really only interested in Howl's but for $4 I'll take the collection.

Don't expect similarities to the Miyazaki film. But I started Howl's years back, well before the film and found it charming. Written as a modern day fairy tale. I never got to finish the book back then.
I've not read the other 3 books, but the first book is excellent.

When the Wee Free Men are involved, listening to the audiobook narrated by Stephen Briggs is great. He's so funny the way he does the voices of the Wee Free Men.

So, the Diana Wynne Jones trilogy is available for $1.99 CDN at Kobo and amazon.ca, but under the name "The Land of Ingary Novels."

I think I'll pick this up. It's hard to go wrong getting three books for that price, and Howl's at least has a really good reputation.
