edit data

Melissa Mitchell is a fantasy romance author best known for her seven-book Dragonwall series.

She fell in love with fantasy at a young age after discovering The Dragonriders of Pern, and she’s been chasing dragons, magic, and epic love stories ever since. Her books often feature beloved tropes like hidden royalty, slow-burn romance, and the undeniable tension of only one bed.

When she’s not writing, Melissa holds a PhD in physics and works as an optical engineer. She lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband, a husky, and four very spoiled bunnies. She also enjoys baking cookies, bullet journaling, and figure skating—usually while thinking about her next book.

This one didn’t work for me, though I wanted it to. I just didn’t feel anything for the characters and it didn’t hold my interest.

Melissa’s Quotes

“People had to grow on their own, make their own decisions, good and bad. It was those mistakes and the choice or refusal to learn from them that gave life—and art—their texture, their meaning. It had to be a choice.”
― Shveta Thakrar, Star Daughter

“Sheetal glanced at her reflection one more time. The silver-tressed, brown-skinned girl before her stared back, powerful. Soft and sturdy as spider silk. Mistress of herself. A hint of starry fire smoldered in her eyes like a signal.”
― Shveta Thakrar, Star Daughter

“It was like wearing the night sky, if the sky were gems and sparkle and all the incandescent promise of the myriad constellations.”
― Shveta Thakrar, Star Daughter

“She’d fallen for Kohl, wrapping her life around his to the point where it nearly killed her, all because he’d shown her some kindness. He’d promised her the world, he’d promised she’d never fall again—and then he’d removed the world from under feet so all she could do was fall.”
― Francesca Flores, Diamond City

“When love was the last thing given on Kosín’s streets, it was hard to tell the real thing from something toxic.”
