Melanie Dickerson Fan Club discussion

This is where we can fangirl (aka freak out) about The Warrior Maiden.

I haven't even read Orphan's Wish yet, and I already can't wait for this one. xD

Yeah totally April!! Welcome to the group... not everyone is active anymore, but some of us still are. I hope you enjoy reading Melanie Dickerson! She's definitely a great author... lol

Definitely, Melanie has had blessed gift from God! And no problem, we have a couple people who are all ages. Thanks for the compliment. >.<

;)

For sure! Welcome! So what does everyone kind of expect from this book? Like idek what to think because I feel like I don't know anything about Wolfgang and I'm not sure how the Mulan thing is going to happen in fifteenth century Germany??

I'm super excited to read it!! I mean Mulan is my favorite Disney Princess... and I've always really, really, really, really, liked Wolfgang!! xD .... It's WOLFGANG!! ( lol... 😂 )

Same! >3

What's weird?

Haha April, that's fine for being 14 :)
I am too!!

Am also super excited for Warrior Maiden!!
Bought The Orphan's Wish and am saving it for a lazy day!!

I don't have much info on Wolfgang either, but with a name like that.. I'm sure the story will be just as interesting!

I used to LOVE Melanie's books, then I branched out to try different authors and genres, and I have to admit that she remains in my top 5 author's pick!! (and I read around 300 books per year)

That's amazing Maria! ;)

Thanks Hannah and April :)

Yeah, I love violin music too ;)
I've only been playing for around 4 years, but I love it. I still like playing piano better, but violin is still great! It's challenging but very rewarding!

That's cool!! Violin is my favorite instrument!! 😀

:D

Cool! Well, hope you gets of great inspiration listening to violin music :D

You should!! It's an amazing instrument. Also, once you learn piano, it's much easier to pick up other instruments :)

I've been really super absent from Goodreads but I'm glad people are still commenting in this group! ❤❤ @April, you said you won't mind how much Melanie Dickerson changes the story and I completely agree! After reading one of her books for the first time I knew that the point wasn't really to retell a story (which is already done so much by other authors) but to tell a whole new story with elements of the old, and I like that. I like to spot all the different details that make the story *like* the story that inspired it, but I also like all the elements that make her stories unique. I'm excited to see what she's done with this one.

So true Princess Emilia!!

Agreed!! That's why i like Melanie so much!! 😊

I am behind now 2 books from Melanie. She is truly a gifted writer and I am happy to get caught up. I love how you see the pieces of the familiar story we all know and love, but with so many new pieces - it's really an entirely new story! She is brilliant IMHO how she weaves it all together. Can't wait to get caught up.

Funny story, on Saturday i went to Barnes & Noble with my friend and neither of us expected to see Warrior Maiden on the shelves yet because it was our understanding that it wouldn't come out until about a week or so later. So anyway, we both spotted it almost simultaneously and started freaking out right there in the store and decided we both had to get a copy xD fast forward to the next day, I showed my mom and she said she had already preordered it for me before Christmas and was expecting it to show up soon, so I guess I'll be returning the one I just bought lol

Ha!! That's awesome!! I haven't bought it yet, because I have to read the 7th + 8th one first xD!! 😁 I just like to savor each book before rushing to the next one! ;)

Got the book and am LOVING it!!!!!!

Yay!! Enjoy it! I hope to get it soon XD

I just finished this one. I loved it! The characters were very creative and I loved the twists! I read it in less than 24 hours, as I do with most of Melanie's books! I would definitely suggest it to anyone who hasn't read it yet!
