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!
