Review: The Dragon’s Promise by Elizabeth Lim

Review: The Dragon’s Promise by Elizabeth Lim

The Dragon’s Promise by is the finale to and one of my most anticipated books this year. I adored Six Crimson Cranes and really couldn’t wait to dive into Shiori’s story. However, I don’t know if it was my anticipation or the writing itself that caused my lower rating. In The Dragon’s Promise, Shiori and […]

Review: Feather and Flame by Livia Blackburne

Review: Feather and Flame by Livia Blackburne

I am really enjoying The Queen’s Council! Each book is about a different Disney princess, what happens after their happily ever after and end credits roll, and a continuation of their stories. Feather and Flame by continues Mulan’s story, picking up several years after she saved the emperor. Action packed and full of adventure, the […]

The Weekend Binge: Viking Academy by S.T. Bende

I enjoy posting on the weekends, and sometimes it’s just a review, sometimes it’s a series review, other times it’s about what I’m currently watching. Regardless, I wanted somewhere to feature […]

Review: Winter of Solace by Kathryn Le Veque

Review: Winter of Solace by Kathryn Le Veque

This story is everything I love in a historical romance. We have knights, a classic “damsel in distress” trope, and a very obvious, black-and-white villain. It was exactly the escape I needed during a big ol’ social uprising. Give me ALL the strong, broody knights and ALL the “happily ever after”s. Immediately. Caius d’Avignon is […]

Review: Dragon Rising by M. Lynn

Review: Dragon Rising by M. Lynn

What an adventure! Dragon Rising by is the first in her new series inspired by Mulan. I love retellings! Several years ago when I first started reading retellings, I was skeptical, but that was unfounded. I love how an author can take an original, well-known tale and put their own spin on it. And does […]

In the Field of Grace by Tessa Afshar

In the Field of Grace by Tessa Afshar

In the Field of Grace by is a retelling of the Biblical account of Ruth and Boaz. The story begins before the Biblical account creating a depth to the characters and giving the story further meaning. Ruth has always been a favorite book of the Bible for me as it tells the story of a young widow […]
