Tome Thursday: Knight's Fire

 
Hello everyone!
 
Welcome to tonight's blog post.
 
I was incredibly lucky to be chosen for an ARC of this book, and, honestly? I really, really hope more people pick it up.
 
It's not just the fact that the writer writes SO GOOD (which, she does, believe me), but it's the story she tells.
 
The stories she's already told.
 
I have to go back and read the previous two books in the series, as, of course, I literally stumbled into it at the end LOL, or middle, really, but that'll come in time.
 
Tonight, we'll be talking about number three in the series.
 
And yes, you can actually read it without needing to have read the first two, which is a rarity these days. Normally, authors will say you can, but by the time you get to it, you realize nope, you have no clue. This one isn't like that.
 
So sharpen those swords, and let's get on with Knight's Fire.

Tome Thursday: Dragon Rose


Hello everyone!

I apologise in advance if there will be typing errors in this post. A little bit earlier I managed to nick a finger and, as you all well know, fingers tend to bleed like you lost at least an inch of them even though it's just a teeny, tiny scratch! So I had to improvise a bit with a bandage as a normal one just didn't cut it, ergo ending with some sort of stump on top of said finger which makes typing ... difficult.

But anyway.

I did in fact finish quite a few books in the last couple of days, and any one of them would have probably been quite a good cut for this week's blog post, but I need to cool off from one of them (I'm looking at you, Warden) so I decided to go for a lighter reading material today.

Turns out, I'm a Beauty and the Beast nut for certain.

Lo and behold, I found yet another retelling of the story, although truth be told the more I look at this, the more it sounds like it might be a combination of a lot of things, not just one particular fairytale or even legend, actually.

In any event, however, I fell in love with the author's writing style and the pretty much non-drama issues in the book, a realistic approach to the main heroine, and so, without further ado, allow me to present Dragon Rose.
