Day 09 – Best scene ever

Geez, this one is a really, really hard choice. There are a ton of books who could qualify for “best scene”. Like:

  • The battleground scene of Jacqueline Carey’s Kushiel’s Dart, where Phedre is nearly skinned alive and Joscelin nearly performs the terminus.

  • The climactic scene of Rob Thurman’s exciting Trixa novel: Trick of the Light. This ending is twistier than a bag full of soft pretzels.

  • The startling imagery of Anne Bishop’s Queen of the Darkness. Specifically, the scene where Saetan, Daemon, and Lucivar keep Jaenelle from returning to the Darkness.

  • The final, mind-boggling, jaw-dropping scene of Jim Butcher’s Changes. I may die of suspense before the next book, Ghost Story, is released next spring.

I honestly don’t know if I could choose. Each of these scenes is unique and intriguing in it’s own way. And all of these books are recommended by me!

Kiara possesses a dry wit, a sharp sarcasm, and a towering intellect. Her secret alter ego has a boring™ day job, but at night she writes and reviews speculative fiction. She carries the keys to dozens of hearts in her pockets and jumps puddles in a single bound. Her superhero power is losing her socks before they've even made it into the dryer. She also likes to tell stories, so parts of this bio may be exaggerated. Waiting for Fairies is not responsible for any credulity that may be lost in the reading of this bio.

  1. I agree with all of your choices here, but would like to add one: The Wheel of Time scene in The Shadow Rising where Rand goes through the glass columns in Rhuidian. That one has always been one of my favorites.
