RCC Challenge: My Teaser

Here is my entry for the Don't Be Such a Tease Challenge (find the challenge here). I'm being a bad girl again, since I'm reading a non review book (I try to alternate between owned and review books to avoid burn outs). But I will start Sisters of Glass in a few days, so I thought I would share the first chapter of the book, to give you a taste! It's all written in this kind of poetry style. Click on the cover to find out more about the book.

Second Daughter

    I feel Giovanna's fire

as Mother prepares me for suitors, polishes me

while Giovanna polishes glass.

    Though I am the younger daughter

and rightfully should not marry

into Venetian nobility,

my father declared

the day I was born,

the week he invented cristallo,

that I was his

baby of good fortune,

and good fortune would be mine.

It sounds like a really interesting book, definitely something I haven't read before. I'm looking forward to read your teasers!
