First Chapter First Paragraph: Windwitch


First Chapter, First Paragraph is a meme hosted by Bibliophile by the Sea, where we share the first paragraph of a book we're currently reading or want to read soon.  My selection this week comes from Windwitch by Susan Dennard.

"There were advantages to being a dead man.

Merik Nihar, prince of Nubrevna and former admiral to the Nubrevnan navy, wished he'd considered dying a long time ago.  He got so much more done as a corpse."


Based on this intro, would you read this book?  Keep your eyes peeled for my review of Windwitch on Thursday!

Happy Reading!

    I would. This is my kind of book. I've actually seen this one on several blogs over the last few weeks and it is already on my TBR list. I hope you enjoy it! I'll stop back to see your review once you are done.

      Thanks Laura! I loved this book. I didn't have trouble getting back into the story as I sometimes do. Lots of action as well.

    Not my usual sort of book, but I liked the intro.

    Well, I'm curious as to how he gets more done as a corpse. I thought I'd get more done when I retired but I'm busier than ever and still keep a very long 'todo' list. Here's my link for today's intro/teaser: http://wp.me/p4DMf0-1uf

      He gets more stuff done because his country thinks he's dead, but now he can do stuff you can't do when you're a Prince. Thanks for stopping, Ms. M.!

    Not my usual read, but I love the cover...and the excerpt is intriguing. Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “THINGS WE DIDN’T SAY”

    Although I don't often read fantasy, the opening appeals to me. I'd keep reading to find out the advantages of being a corpse!
