Hopefully I like it.<\/p>\n<p>One thing I have to mention though is my disappointment when I saw the main characters name. A long time ago, I started a fantasy series that have a main character (an elf hunter) with the name Zel\u00e9na (not the same name, but pretty close though), and I&#8217;ve been planning to finish that series very soon. I have lived with my character for over sixteen years, and the name feels impossible to change at this point. Is it too close? Does it matter? It wouldn&#8217;t have mattered if I had named her Mary or Anna, plenty of people have similar names, so should it matter now?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, well&#8230;this will be a question for a later time. Now, I&#8217;ll emerge myself into this novel and hopefully I&#8217;ll love it. The cover sure looks amazing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/erikawinterlia.winterlia.se\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/questofheroes.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-556 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/erikawinterlia.winterlia.se\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/questofheroes-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"203\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikawinterlia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/questofheroes-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/erikawinterlia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/questofheroes.jpg 318w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSecond book I&#8217;ll try to finish this month is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Quest-Heroes-Book-Sorcerers-Ring\/dp\/1939416205\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1438553307&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=A+Quest+of+Heroes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Quest Of Heroes<\/a> by Morgan Rice<\/p>\n<p>This book is a random find on Amazon, which happened to be free on Kindle, so I downloaded it and started reading.
