Deathless is Live (which sounds totally bizarre, unless you know what I'm talking about, so read on)

Okay, so here's the thing.

Yuki_Onna's (that's Cathrynne M. Valente, folks) new book, Deathless comes out today. And I, being on the broke side, can't afford to go out and just buy it. (That OR her Fairyland YA book, and a wodge of other delightful things <*alas, weep-weep, etc*>).

None the less, I WANNA! Because it's a retold Russian fairytale set during the seige of Leningrad and it just sounds so cool! (Excerpt available for free here).

I've been looking forward to it for... A year or so, now? Something like that. Breezing through her posts about the Prestor John books (which, while potentially also awesome, are just not sparking my interest) waiting for this book's Day to arrive.

And now it has! YAY! :-D


And - oh, you betcha - I am totally posting this post (and this link) because there's a tiny, tiny, random-number-generated chance that, by doing so, I will be able to snag a Fabulous Prize Package that includes *both* Deathless AND Fairyland and which would be totally awesome to receive. So. Here it is: I can't (yet) buy this book. But it sounds totally awesome, so I'm encouraging others to go and do so. :-D
