Today's question is:
What’s the last thing you stayed up half the night reading because it was so good you couldn’t put it down?
I definitely have to go with Lisa Bergren's Waterfall! I really and truly couldn't stop reading until I finished. Well, if you don't count such things ad having to go to work, having meals, and other necessities. However, when I wasn't doing these things, I was reading this book. I did stay up until 3:00 AM one Saturday night in order to finish it.
The story is a beautiful fantasy, with a combination of time travel, adventure, and romance. It revolves around two sisters, Gabriela and Evangelia Betarrini, whose parents are archaeologists. While on an archaeological site with their mother, the sisters are accidentally transported through time to 14th-century Italy. There, one of them, Gabriela, finds her true love, and astonishes him as well as everyone else with her expertise with a sword, as well as her uncanny ability to scale castle walls!
Not to be outdone, her sister, Lia, shows her own expertise with bow and arrow, and is admired by her own true love, who will probably make a move in the second book, titled Cascade, which I will soon start reading!
This is an exciting fantasy trilogy, and I really can't praise it enough!
