I won these three books from a giveaway. Because of all the pandemic issues, I will have to wait for Kingdom of Blood and Spirit by Trish Beninato and Riley Hunt, but Trish did send me Cruel Prince, A Court of Thorns and Unknown Realms to tide me over.

A COURT OF THORNS BY SARAH J MAAS

A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1)

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas is a fantasy romance that quickly caught me up in the Feyre’s life as she struggles to survive and take care of those around her, joining forces with a mysterious masked man to face a common evil and I wasn’t even halfway through when the first tear formed.

THE CRUEL PRINCE BY HOLLY BLACK

The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air, #1)

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black was a total surprise to me, taking me so deep into the story I couldn’t put it down with a smart, independent, strongwilled character that puts her life on the line to create a better world, and now accepts a world she was forced into as her own…but be sure to read to the very end, because there is a special short story that left a smile on my face and eager for more.

UNKNOWN REALMS

Unknown Realms

I love the cover for Unknown Realms, a collection of twenty short stories and novellas that can be read in small doses while standing in line at the store, etc, and had me traveling through magical realms, alternate dimensions, riding dragons, dodging monsters, holding on for dear life and loving every minute of it.

Giveaway – The Winged Child by Henry Mitchell @GoddessFish

The Winged Child by Henry Mitchell

GENRE: Fantasy

BLURB

An adult fairytale about a girl who might know how to fly, a neurobotanist who might be a dragon, an innkeeper who might be a machine and a politician who might be the antichrist.

Millicent McTeer grows to adulthood in Ashton, an Appalachian tourist town, convinced she knows how to fly. With a new president in power, the life Millicent knew changes. The government has spies on every corner, coercing citizens to follow the new order. As the country descends into anarchy, Millicent is drawn into political activism by her professor and becomes an exile.

In the Laurel Creek Containment District, separated from the chaos of the Atlantic American Republic, she finds a new life. As she develops her unique abilities and leads the exiles, incursions from the outside world threaten to destroy the tranquil life they have built together. Will Millicent reclaim her reality and discover the peace that has eluded her?

EXCERPT

“Dragon,” she blurted.

“Millicent,” he said. “Our trails cross again at last. I’ve been looking forward to it.” Ryder unfolded long legs and exited his hammock with reptilian grace, gestured at two large pillows on the floor beside a tray overflowing with papers weighted under what Millicent thought was a satellite phone of some sort. “Sit down. Rest from the world. Let’s talk about what trouble we might get into together next term.”

Millicent sat, rather awkwardly, she feared. Ryder, already comfortably settled upon his cushion, his legs folded beneath him as compactly as the pinioned wings of a bat, opened her student profile before she could arrange herself. He’d obviously studied her data previously because he flipped only a page or two before he nailed her with his gaze. She saw now that his eyes were deep deep blue, like the sky over Hillhaven after a rain.

“What made you want to study forest management, Millicent? There isn’t a lot of money to be made in that, so you’re not trying to get rich.”

Looking into this young/old face, she felt twelve years old again, incapable of anything less than the simple truth as she knew it, “Because … Because trees have been my best friends.”
