It's that time of year again! Happy Holidays to everyone! Or rather, a belated Merry Christmas, as this review came out a few days later than I'd planned. Of course, it also gave me a chance to include my 100th read book this year, Stephen Fry's Victorian Secrets. This is a feature I've been hop...
This story has a fairy tale tone, sort of like The Mists of Avalon or Snow White. In some ways it's very magical and has the feel of being set in a mock-Ireland that is at war with the English. The main character is the seventh child of a seventh son and has healing abilities that are used to help...

Vi sono delle parti un po' lente ed a volte noiose, soprattutto nella seconda metà del libro, ma nonostante ciò risulta essere un testo davvero piac...
In Daughter of the Forest, Sorcha is the only daughter and the youngest of Lord Colum’s children. She is pampered by her brothers and leads a fairly idyllic life until her father is taken in by an evil sorceress, an overplayed trope in fantasy fiction, and her brothers are turned into swans. This fo...
*Edited* Downgraded my rating when I realized I've spent the past few days feeling increasingly creeped out by the way the romance was handled.
