"Just beyond Das Kagel, the cloud-scraping structure rumored to be the Tower of Babel, the sacred Monastery of the Eastern Gate descends into bedlam. Their ancient oracle, Quite Testiyont--whose prophesies helped protect the church--has died, leaving the monks vulnerable to the war raging between the living and the dead. Tasked with delivering a new oracle to the High Church, Barry Follett and his group of hired mercenaries are forced to confront wicked giants and dangerous sirens on their mission, keeping the divine creature alive by feeding it marrow and confessing their darkest sins. But as Follett and his men carve their way through the treacherous landscape, the world around them spirals deeper into chaos. Dominic, a young monk who has mysteriously lost his voice, makes a pilgrimage to surreal paintings, believing they reveal the empire's fate; a local woman named Meg hopes to free and vindicate her jailed son and becomes the leader of the most unexpected revolution; and the abbott of the monastery, influential as he is, seeks to gain even more power. Rich with action and fantastic creatures, Hollow ushers the reader through a world of ruin where holy secrets are unearthed, art mirrors life, and death looms over everything. It is B. Catling's most accomplished and gripping tale yet"--

Made it through by pure stubbornness and the fact that I needed a bedtime book (hence the ebook). If you are looking for a Bosch painting in book form, here you go. If not, you can safely skip this weird mess of a story.

tpixie Intriguing photo though! #covers 3y

Made it to page 84.

My time is too precious to waste it on a book I'm not enjoying. This might be a hidden gem, though.

RaeLovesToRead I really don't like the cover... why are the horses all droopy??! 😱😱😱😂 3y
squirrelbrain Ew, that cover is just creepy! 😱 3y
julesG @RaeLovesToRead @squirrelbrain - makes no sense to me, too. It's "new weird" - whatever that genre means. 3y

Headache from second Covid vaccination. I'm going to treat myself to a very chilled afternoon.

jenniferw88 Haha! IF you ever change your cover you'll need to get another owl sticker as that helps me recognise it too (I also happen to ♥️ 🦉)! Feel better soon! 3y
Gissy I understand! I felt miserable but it was in my first vaccination. I was almost doing a new will. I thought I was going to die (a little of drama here😳☺️). But I felt terrible. 3y
julesG @Gissy Wow, that sounds awful. I had a headache and the chills after my first jab. But have heard so many different stories about how people reacted to the vaccination. 3y
julesG @jenniferw88 Darn! The sticker will be the hardest. It came as an extra with a large order of magnetic bookmarks. 3y
jenniferw88 @julesG lol! Ok, a bright cover will do! 😂😂😂😘 3y
squirrelbrain Hope you feel better soon 😘 3y
BiblioLitten @Gissy I hear you! The discomfort was insane. 3y
Ruthiella I was achy after my second shot too. The recommended Acetaminophen (as opposed to ibuprofen or aspirin which were not advised) helped a lot. Hope you feel better soon! 🥴❤️ (edited) 3y
julesG @Ruthiella Thanks. Had some chocolate, made me feel much better. 😁 3y
julesG @squirrelbrain Thank you. I'm sure I'll be better soon. 3y
Megabooks Feel better!! 3y
Avanders Feel better! ❤️‍🩹 3y
Andrew65 Hope you are feeling better. I just felt so clouded in the head after the second one. 3y
