I wish now that I had not waited so long to read this. I really enjoyed reading this author and have added a few other books by her to read. Dragonswood is a nice, cozy YA fantasy that even though predictable, kept me turning the pages late into the night. There was a touch of romance that I enjoyed...

Dragonswood is a strange little novel that starts out well enough, then splinters off into various fragments of stories. As it keeps going, it suffers under its own weight as it tries to reconcile the many different plot threads running through it. Any one of these different threads would make for...

I loved this entire story. Not one negative thing to say about it. Just perfect.

This is a quite charming fantasy. The world is much richer than I originally expected in the first few chapters. Yet the plot does not live up to what the world can offer.What I means is that Dragonswood does try to weave a complex, intricate story, but I still find the story somewhat lacking. The c...

I liked this loads more than Dragon's Keep. It was so much better. This is my review of Dragon's Keep.I legitimately liked Tess. She was a good character that I could empathize with.

I'm not sure how to sum up this book. It was enjoyable, but there were also many things that bugged me about it. I suppose the one thing I could say is that the book is very confusing. It deals with fairies, dragons, humans, prophecies, and marriage alliances and normally when you mix these things i...

A much better book than its predecessor, it manages to convey more emotion and immediacy. The characters are all likable and relatable, if not always terribly intelligent and frankly I wanted to spend more time getting to just know who these people were, esp. the royal family. I had hoped we would s...

I read this book until about 3:30 in morning. I could have stopped, I wanted to stop but I felt compelled to see where this trainwreck was going to ultimately end up. Before I went to bed, I gave it two stars but when I woke up this morning and immediately thought of this book (ergh) I realized that...

Dragonswood is a dark alluring powerfully epic high fantasy filled with wonderfully delicious hidden secrets, intrigue, and enchanting mystical realms that will leave readers breathless. From the start, it is deeply compelling and masterfully written, filled with wonderfully developed characters and...
