The Quietude, a psychic realm accessible by only a select few, is Kat’s secret for improving her deadly focus. It’s how she became a high level Midnight Slicer, an elite assassin. But when she meets Tristien Waef inside the Quietude, Kat knows she’s outmatched. Tristien, scarred from head to toe both physically and emotionally, displays unheard-of abilities inside the Quietude! In a rare move, Kat throws caution to the wind, and joins Tristien and her two friends: the battle-hardened Cela and the almost-famous bard Kinjara, in their travels. But will the Midnight Slicers allow Kat to shift allegiances? And can a budding relationship with Kat get Tristien to move beyond her traumatic past? "Hey! This book ain't about just that! That part's only got you two." interrupts Cela. "It's about fightin’, drinkin' and carousin'. You know, slicin'!” With one arm, the tall warrior slashes her two-handed sword through the air. Tristien sniffs, "Fighting and drinking isn't going to sell the book. The more unique aspects will." "Presentation factors as well," says Kinjara, bowing. “The honor should thus drape across the bard’s shoulders." Clearing her throat, she stands up, “Love and redemption, thrills with chills, devious deities along with myths of yore and lore, build foundations upon which 'A Slice of Quietude' rises..." Kat never looks up from sharpening her daggers.

About the Author A mix of eclectic interests. That's how this book came about. What else would you expect from a woman who lived in four different countries before she was 12, whose various interests include bowling, C/W dancing, comic books, art and writing? Sharon Cho first came to the US in 1976 as a scared 12 year old thrust into high school. A sheltered and naive girl with boundless curiosity, Sharon had many questions but few answers came her way so she set out to find answers herself. Along the way, she found enough answers to write the Woven Myths series.

Quietude a Hit By Don Sloan A Slice of Quietude is a rich and satisfying tale that left me wanting more.It is, first and foremost, a love story -- but it is much more than that. It is a cleverly woven fantasy in a strange world where guilds require strict allegiance and good friends and lovers provide resolute protection against many dangers.This book offers the reader the chance to know intimately the bond between two women who have chosen a life of violence and warfare in a mythical environment set sometime (I would say) in the Middle Ages, if it were a Terran location.While there is a jarring first chapter in which the reader must quickly interpret strange new words and terminology (minutes are "tichs" and hours are "chimes"), ensuing action scenes that are almost cinematic result in the humbling of one major character, Kat, and the emergence of the other three characters, Tristian, Cela, and Kinjara.This is a tale where strong women warriors also show a much softer side, resulting in a story that carefully --and successfully -- walks the line between being an action tale and a romance. Indeed, the physical love scenes are so subtle, they are almost non-existent. But the underlying emotional passages show a deft handling of the main characters' inner motivations and depth.The primary story revolves around Kat, The Midnight Slicer, whose chosen vocation is that of assassin. She encounters Tristian, a scarred and tortured (literally) woman, who falls deeply in love with Kat, who gradually shows a reflective unconditional love for Tristian.I particularly enjoyed the verbal sparring and interplay between Tristian, Kinjara and Cela, who quickly put the much more reticent Kat at ease in their circle. In many ways, their camaraderie reminds me of the dialogue between Alexander Dumas' Three Musketeers, who often sparred good-naturedly between action scenes.There are several good turns of phrase:"Curiosity and Midnight Slicers had an uneasy truce.""Darkness shrouded the other farmhouse. Occasional owls burst forth from the Darsprian Forest nearby, in search of retreating rodents in the field. With the night chill settling in, Kat once again tasted moisture in the air.""Outside, darkness flooded the interior momentarily, then all fell silent, feeling the thunder rumble their bones. . ."The title Quietude draws its name from an unusual device utilized well by the author to depict a telepathic realm that Kat and Tristian share to mutual advantage.I give A Slice of Quietude five stars and look forward to this author's next book.

The main characters, Tristien and Kat, are falling head-over-heels in love, but their past demons get in the way of their ability to commit and fully open up to one another. For Tristien, the past demons are physical; for Kat, they are mental. I would love to go into depth about their issues, but it may spoil the read.For me, the story is foremost a love story and the battles/fights are secondary. I have always enjoyed stories where humans were the most important thing, and this novel delivers on that.Alongside Tristien and Kat are two friends, Cela and Kinjara. Their pasts are not delved into greatly, but seeing as how they are secondary characters, this is not necessary. What they do have are unique characteristics that really help them leap off of the page and take on a life of their own.While I did enjoy this book, there were some stylistic decisions that affected my read. For one, each character was referred to in a multitude of ways. For instance, Kat was referred to by nickname, full name, the olive woman, dark haired woman, the Slicer, the Midnight Slicer etc. (these names may not be exact). I was pulled from the story every time one of these was used, and this happened for every character.Another issue that I had was the frequent use phrases at the beginning of a sentence. This would happen to a majority of the sentences in a paragraph, and it would create a rhythm in reading that would pull me from the story.There were a few more issues that brought this to three stars.Aside from all of those things, though, this was an engaging novel with some beautifully written sentences. I will definitely be reading the next book!

By InkedRainbowReads FourStarsA really unique book which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. The author weaves a tale of mystery and illusion. Throughout the novel the descriptive narrative allows the reader not only see what is happening but to almost smell the surroundings and the events taking place.Not written as an easy read, the names of the characters and their positions in society are all new so the reader has to concentrate and remember where each one fits into this absorbing tale.I particularly enjoyed the role of the story teller as this reinforced what had happened regarding the characters as well as understanding the roles of characters as yet unseen.The individuality of each character was so vibrant yet so believable, making the horrors of deeds past and present understandable in a bizarre sort of way.The one criticism I have is the conclusion, which left so many questions unanswered that I felt almost cheated. I would have preferred a more decisive end rather than the inconclusive one given. I will still be looking forward to the next instalment in this series.FourStarsA really unique book which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. The author weaves a tale of mystery and illusion.
