Nyx in the House of Night: Mythology, Folklore, and Religion in the P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast Vampyre Series offers fascinating discussions on a diverse range of topics to enhance any reader's enjoyment of the series. And this book is beautifully illustrated.
I contributed with my essay on the "Magic of Being Cherokee," that offers insights into the foundation of the Cherokee culture and beliefs that are woven into this series, making the Vampyre lore in the House of Night unique.

SmartPop sent me a copy and I read your piece, it was really good. I loved it. I loved everything. If anyone wants to know, the entire book is good. It's amazing how much can actually go into a book through research.
ReplyDeleteHey Trista--Love your name and thanks for finding my blog to comment. After I researched the Cherokee, it made me appreciate the House of Night series even more. The depth PC & Kristin put into their series, because of the Native American aspects, really does say a lot about the thought they put into everything. I'm glad you enjoyed it AND the series. Thanks again.
