I was immediately engaged, entertained, and found it easy to keep reading straight through, from start to finish. Kirstin Pulioff authored a highly relevant story of a young woman's life with a single parent. Though its setting is medieval or high-fantasy, the story delves into the dynamics of a sin...
A sharp, shiny and precise jewel of a dystopian novella. I read The Ivory Tower very quickly some time ago and have finally managed to catch up with a review. This dystopian story is brief but hides a good punch. I’m always in two minds with regards to shorter stories. On the one hand I want to know...
I love reading short stories and this one did not disappoint. Set in a dystopian future, Kirstin Pulioff drew me in with her concise writing style and descriptive imagery. She immediately transported me to the protection camp where Simone and Christine struggle to survive a horrific caste system and...

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 unicorns - I loved it!!Okay so this so reminds me of my nieces with the defiance though theirs is much more direct since they range from 5 to 6. I have 3 of them and all have red hair like me (talk about trouble, but I love watching it because it is happening to my sisters)...
The Escape of Princess Madeline by Kirstin Pulioff has done the impossible by reminding me of my childhood with tales of Robin Hood, King Arthur and Ivanhoe. I was immediately enchanted by this sweet tale of a spoilt princess who has been forced to grow up fast by her domineering father, King Theodo...
