Book Recommendation: Throne of the Crescent Moon

In 2011, I probably read only about 5-10 books.  In 2012, I decided I needed to up that number, so I started listening to audiobooks in order to make better use of my exercise and driving time.  I probably read/listened to about 20-25 books last year, and this year I’m on track for over 50 books.  I figured it might be a good idea to start recommending the ones I’ve liked. I use affiliate links on my site, so I may earn some income if you end up buying something after following my links, but I promise I’ll only recommend things that I actually liked.

My first book this year was Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed.  I liked this book and its treatment of religion so much that I reviewed the book several months ago over at the blog of the Association for Mormon Letters, despite the fact that it does not mention Mormons, nor is it by a Mormon.  Saladin Ahmed draws on Muslim and Arabic themes in writing a very enjoyable epic fantasy novel.

Unfortunately, Audible’s affiliate program doesn’t seem to let me link directly to the book, but you can search for it below.

If you prefer to read rather than listen, you can buy the book at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Book Depository.
