Cobweb Bride Cobweb Bride Trilogy Book 1 eBook Vera Nazarian
The premise of Cobweb Bride is simple: one day Death announces that until his cobweb bride is delivered to him, all death will cease. And cease it does – people continue to die in that their hearts will stop beating and their limbs will stiffen, but their souls and consciousnesses will not move on. They are trapped without relief in their dead bodies. Neither the ill nor the mortally wounded are able to pass on, but must remain trapped until death begins again.Cobweb Bride is epic in scope, with a wide number of characters with differing positions in life and responses to the crisis. However, the clear protagonist is Percy (short for Persephone), an unwanted village girl who sets out along with a multitude of other girls to find Death and present herself as a possible cobweb bride.
I’ll admit, I was hesitant going in. I worried that it would be too much of a romance, but as I read, my fears faded away. Cobweb Bride is clearly an epic or historical fantasy and a good one at that. The writing was simply gorgeous. Nazarian’s lyrical words carried me away to a land of bitter cold, dark forests, and opulent palaces.
All of the characters connected with me. Percy was determined and perspicacious, able to see things that none of the other characters could. Throughout the book, she was brave and generous. In short, she was a genuinely likable protagonist.
However, Percy’s story is just one of many. There’s the three spoiled court nobles who make their way North to Death’s domain, the king-in-waiting whose mother is stuck on the very edge of death, two battling armies who discover that they are unable to die, a son still devotedly serving his undead father, and Claere, heir to the empire who’s assassinated at her birthday party. Claere was favorite character. Before her death, she was sickly and weak, but afterwards she realized that she had nothing to fear. I will note that some people may find her romance plot troubling, but I didn’t have a problem with it.
I found this an excellent book and am planning on reading the next in the trilogy. I’d recommend this book to anyone looking for good female characters, beautiful writing or just an enjoyable read.

Cobweb Bride Cobweb Bride Trilogy Book 1 eBook Vera Nazarian Reviews
Ok.....
This story was AWESOME in soooo many ways.
But the weird part is, as much as I wanted to read this initially, it took me FOREVER to finally start reading it. As in... months. Why did it take me so damn long to pick this up??
In what feels like ages ago, I read the description for this novel. Not even sure how I came across it, to be honest with you. I was certainly very intrigued. Death wants a wife, and until he gets one, nothing can die (regardless of their current physical state – ya… think about it… highly disturbing possibilities here!). Anyway… what’s not to like?? So when I got the opportunity to get this through Netgalley, I was so very much excited! I promptly downloaded the novel onto my tablet… where it remained for months….. And why do you ask?
The cover.
I know… I know… How very shallow of me.
I knew I wanted to read it, but the cover didn’t call to me. As the months passed I forgot about the book description (one unfortunate aspect of an e-reader is you can’t flip the book for the description and be reminded of why you wanted to read it so much in the first place), and when I came across the cover in my ever growing list, I would say… “Oh yeah! I want to read this one… looks too ‘renaissancy’… not in the mood for that genre right now…”
Finally, one day I thought… I’ve had this for a while, let me start it to see how it is… and I.could.not.put.this.down.
Excellent story.
Fantastic plot flow and character development. A few storylines going on parallel to each other, before our main characters come together at last to continue the story/quest, but it flows so well, it's seamless, and not at all confusing.
Love the characters because they are so fleshy and alive in my mind. Percy is undeniably my favorite, being so clearly the underdog character in this story – mistreated by her own mother, feels plain (maybe even ugly) and made to feel worthless… yet she develops into such a warrior in this story. Love that! She alone is fantastic, but there are so many great characters that just add so much to this story, but I was also kept very riveted by the storyline itself. Especially once Death stopped its work, and people - or animals, or any living thing really - could no longer die regardless of their state…
Think about it. You are off in a war and get pelted with arrows, or sword through the belly… Can’t die! Butchered pig, chicken or turkey… Can’t die!
Gross and disturbing I tell ya!
The imagery was absolutely awful… and you can’t help but hope that Death finds/chooses his bride, so that everything can be put right again, for the sake of all living things in limbo.
If this novel doesn’t give you nightmares, it sure will keep your interest and on the edge of your seat. This was EXCELLENT storytelling and I am really looking forward to continuing the story into the next book. I certainly will not be waiting very long before opening that one up though. THAT is a promise!!
Free book gladly. Blurb was great unfortunately it did not live up to it. The author threw to many characters at you too fast. So fast it was difficult to keep up.
Too many confusing story lines. Death takes a Holiday, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty. I don’t know.
I stopped after the second chapter.
