BRIAR BOLEYN is the author of more than twenty-five romance books and novellas. Her novels have become New York Times, USA Today, Sunday Times and Spiegel bestsellers and have been sold in over a dozen countries. As a child, she endlessly scribbled stories in every genre, from murder mysteries to time travel romances to dystopian sci-fi. Briar lives with her family in Manitoba, Canada. When not raising fictional dragons from the dead, Briar enjoys reading all types of sci-fi and fantasy, cultivating an unhealthy Disney World obsession, and playing RPG video games. She also writes under the name Fenna Edgewood.
I love how this story blends both worlds. You can feel how much love is between the Morgan and Draven and the world where they live. Once they find out that Medra is alive in another world, they will stop at nothing to bring her home! This is a much for any fan of A Blood of a Fae and the Bloodwing Academy.
I was really looking forward to this crossover novella because I absolutely love both Blood of a Fae and Bloodwing Academy, so seeing these two worlds collide was something I'd been excited for.
The character interactions were definitely the highlight for me. Briar Boleyn captures the love, loyalty, and fierce protectiveness of Morgan and Draven perfectly. The moment they discover that Medra is alive in another world immediately reminds you just how far they'd go to bring her home, and I loved seeing that unwavering devotion.
That said, I did come away feeling a little underwhelmed. I went into this expecting much more detail about how Medra ended up where she is, but it felt like such a significant moment was reduced to a throwaway comment. That was the part I was most excited to learn about, so I couldn't help wishing it had been explored in much greater depth.
As a bonus novella, it's still an enjoyable read and a lovely way to reconnect with characters I've grown to love. I just wanted a little more substance and world-building around the crossover itself.
Overall, if you're a fan of both series, it's definitely worth picking up. Just don't go in expecting all of the answers—I certainly finished wanting more.
I put this book down because I was worried it would ruin the next Briar Boleyn book I am waiting for. It didn't. It was a good filler until I bought new Briar Boleyn books and read the Blood of the Fae series, which I will start on before the end of this weekend. I am So Excited!! These are wonderful books, and I really enjoy reading them all. Great series, great fun.
The perfect bridging Novella between 2 of my favourite series! This did not feel as short as it was, I felt like alot happened, alot of questions were answered and lots of dots connected. For a super short read, it was perfect and covered everything perfectly.
A good way to connect both of her series together and leave us with so many unanswered questions! I’m excited to see how both of her series connect and interact with each other! Ready for october to be here!!! 🤩🤩
