So I hear that the novel you love is filled with badass warrior women!!
Um, not really. They're more spell slinging women. The main character is actually very cerebral. 
So how did you stumble across the novel?
The cover artist, Christian McGrath, also does the covers for The Dresden Files, which is another series I read. So I guess I literally judged a book by its cover, haha. 
Oooooh that's right. Wasn't The Dresden Files what McGrath is best known for?
Certainly the largest number of books that he's done art for. His covers are so much better than the older versions which were very generic, bad photoshop deals. 
That is so cool. Do you prefer fantasy novels when looking for books to read or do you just go for books that have a good storyline?
I read a lot of fantasy and science fiction. I like the freedom of those genres, the ability to create an entire world and its rules from the ground up. They feel so much more richer and realized than more ordinary fiction, because so much thought goes in to every little detail. 
Yes!!!! I love fantasy and sci-fi, but that is mostly because I pretty much live in my mind. When things are not going well, I find my happy place in my mind. I guess like an alternate reality that I can escape to and reading helps me come up with new stuff.
Books are a wonderful escape that is always there, I agree. I like to get lost in them.
