Day 28: Favorite Title Of A Book

Dying of the Light by George R.R. Martin

It’s such a beautiful title for a sci-fi-ish story (because Martin never writes just one genre.) It’s essentially about a planet that got settled because it had a comet-like path that would pass this beautiful star collection once and after that disappear into the endless darkness hence the title. But the setting on that planet and the history and the melancholic and opeless feel of the story are just great. Also there is some romance in there but it’s not the main draw.

And I’m cheating again because this is my post and I make the rules here… ^^’ sort of:

Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

The title itself isn’t all that but that bookcover… Just look at it. I was obsessed with the cover for a good while after I bought it.

THe book is the first book in the prequell series to Clare’s The Mortal INstruments series and has a steampunk setting in ye olde London. If you are familiar with Clare’s style you will know what you get.

And now get back to staring at that cover!
