A bit of a slow start, but I'm off and slithering! A bit of a letdown for an ending, but it does leave the possibility open for more stories. And apparently I can't count. And I'm not editing this again! LOL First roll 2/24 : 7 1. Author is a woman : League of Dragons by Naomi Novik 8...

The story is good and well-executed, except for two things. The romances and the points of view. Yes points, there are about six throughout the story and sometimes it jumps from one to another without any warning and this drew me out of the story. That and I didn't really feel that the romances h...

I spent a sleepless night reading the story. I kid you not, I've slept only three hours because I couldn't put the book down. Thank heavens I'm on holiday. Uprooted was fantastic. Almost perfect.

I did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did. Beyond the absolutely endearing dragon (and a book-lover dragon at that, how can you pack more win?) and the lovely friendship with Laurence, the setting goes into many issues I would not have expected it to, but that would be the logical result of ...

I Liked: the world building, the magic and how it differed from person to person. I Disliked: most of the characters. Dragon held himself above everyone on his holy crusade and was rude to all around him. Nieshka was dense and ran headlong into trouble without thought of consequences. Falcon was ...

Audiobook2.5 star story for meThe narration was a 5 star The first half was amazing I was completely lost in the woods, the tower, the village. There was a beauty and the beast feeling to it. There was a difficult man, a young witch, a world steeped in mystery and possibilities. I was excited to exp...
