Solomon’s Sieve by Victoria Danann My rating: 4 of 5 stars Ah, Book 7 in The Black Swan Sage, Solomon’s Sieve is a return to the glorious writing and style that made me like Victoria Danann so much. Events from the last book seem totally forgotten and we are back in the drama of our […]

A Tale of Two Kingdoms: 6 by Victoria Danann My rating: 2 of 5 stars I’ve been a huge fan of Danann’s Black Swan Series, gleefully extolling the virtues of every volume and posting reviews.

Book Review – Refuge by Karen Lynch
Refuge by Karen Lynch My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is the second book in Lynch’s Relentless Saga and I have to be honest, I thought it was fabulous! The first book was fluid and dynamic but this, this was exceptional. The story is peppered with humor and gasp-worthy moments, dynamic dialogue (my favorite […]
