This week I'm reading eye of the god by Ariel Allison on my Nook. Here are the first lines from the Prologue:Golconda, India, 1653Jean-Baptiste Tavernier winced as the soldier chopped off the man's hand. The thief shrieked and dropped to the ground, clutching the bloodied stump to his chest.
Quite an eventful (and violent) start to a book! This is a novel about an attempted heist of the Hope Diamond, set in the modern-day. I'm really enjoying it so far! There's a nice mix of historical background on the diamond mixed in with the contemporary storyline. This history geek approves!
What is/are the first line(s) of your current read, and what are your thoughts so far? Please leave the link to your specific post, not just to the front page of your blog.
