Hey y'all! I am stoked to be hosting a spot on the blog tour for CLANLESS by Jennifer Jenkins! I freaking LOVE this fantasy series! I have Jen's favorite scenes. Check it out & make sure to enter the giveaway!
Haven't heard of CLANLESS? Check it out!
Striker Gryphon has lost his position of honor among the Ram, and is now a hunted man. A traitor.
Zo, the object of his affection, was murdered by members of his former clan. To honor her memory, he journeys to the highly secretive Raven “Nest” to warn strangers of their impending demise—though it could cost him more than just his pride.
He doesn’t know that Zo is very much alive and in another part of the region assisting Nameless refugees over a mountain swarming with wild men known as “Clanless.”
As each struggle to make sense of what their lives have become, they fight and claw to reach the Allied Camp, their last hope in bringing peace to the region.
But the road back to one another is treacherous and uncertain. And freedom will come with a price.
Now on to the post!
Top 5 favorite scenes and why.
Narrowing down my top 5 scenes is tricky work, but I’ll give it my best
shot.
Let’s do this David Letterman style, shall we?
5- Gryphon trying to cross the lion silk bridge (and really his whole
journey to the Raven Nest).
In almost every scene I’d written up to this point, Gryphon is always
portrayed as a superior warrior. I like that the Raven humble him quite a bit.
Gryphon’s fear of heights was a nice way of breaking his stereotypical role in
this series.
4- The scene when Eva and Stone reunite.
I had a lot of fun developing these two characters in this book. Their
reuniting was so exciting to write because both characters are completely blunt
and 100% unapologetic for who they are and what they stand for. Eva especially
is portrayed as almost a heartless figure in the first part of the book. I
enjoyed showing her softer side.
3- Zo sealing her blood oath to the Kodiak Clan.
This is such a HUGE moment for the series and plays a big role in the
third book. I really enjoyed the world building of this scene and seeing Zo own
the role heroine.
2- Gryphon and Zander’s big confrontation.
I don’t want to give too much away, but this scene is really the moment
when Gryphon discovers his new identity and draws a line in the sand for his
mess brothers to have to decide what kind of men they want to be. I love
writing action scenes, and this is my favorite of the series thus far.
1- Gryphon and Zo’s reuniting.
How could you NOT choose this scene? It was so torturous keeping Zo and
Gryphon apart, but it really needed to happen and made bringing them back
together all the more powerful. The moment Zo wakes up in Gryphon’s arms… *shivers* Yes,
definitely my favorite scene in the book.
Thank you so much for hosting me on your blog!
