The Alchemist and the Faerie King: A Star-Fae Duology Short Prequel
by Sarah Delena White (Goodreads Author) |
|
| I enjoyed this, but it's been so long since I read the Duology, I will admit I felt a little lost sometimes. I don't think it works as well as a standalone as some prequels do. It's well written and the characters are cool, but it definitely does fee ...more | |
"Another excellent superhero romance! I didn't like this one quiiiiiite as much as some of the others, but I DID really enjoy Charlie as a character, and her and Mal's relationship and how it built from practicality into love was lovely. I also enjoye"

Little Shops of Wonders (A Worlds Redeemed Anthology Book 2)
by Alexandra Gilchrist (Goodreads Author) |

| All anthologies are a little bit of a mixed bag with some stories that appeal to me more than others. That said, I've recently started allowing myself to skip a story if it doesn't grab me or if it is starting to irritate me when reading anthologies, ...more | |

answered a question about
Dragon's Curse:
It's PG-13. There are some mild swear words throughout, fade to black between a married couple in book three, and occasional implications of darker backstories especially in the introduction of a king's illegitimate son.

“I have in this War a burning private grudge—which would probably make me a better soldier at 49 than I was at 22: against that ruddy little ignoramus Adolf Hitler (for the odd thing about demonic inspiration and impetus is that it in no way enhances the purely intellectual stature: it chiefly affects the mere will). Ruining, perverting, misapplying, and making for ever accursed, that noble northern spirit, a supreme contribution to Europe, which I have ever loved, and tried to present in its true light.”
