Review : King by Right of Blood and Might - Anna L. Walls

-



I've decided to use the castle image for today's book as it symbolised with two meanings, the first is that it is a Historical setting with a castle , Knights and a King as well as the successor of the throne - a Prince , the second is that this book has touches of what could be considered as fantasy and this castle being the one from the Disney Films opening credits.

King by Right of Blood and Might

Review: King of Right by Blood and Might - Anna L. Walls - April 2008

Are you a fan of historical fiction with a taste of fantasy , how about novels written in the format of a diary entry but in third person narrative ? This suited me well as though I love the diary formats of journal writing in my fiction , I have always been more prone to enjoying the third person narrative instead of first person.
It came to the thinking of the cuurent King Aidyn that he soon will have to pass his throne onto his son Prince Harris O'Aidyn. Now this would have been handed and dealt with like normal royalty successions occur, but in this case our King Aidyn lived a reclusive life as King , paranoid and all . This was caused due to the death of his father and the results of the aftermath of the former King's passing with the country of Pennland being destroyed via it's entire infrastruture collasping like the walls of Jericho and many of the people of Pennland were captured and taken away to live the rest of their lives as slaves.
So what the King decided to do in order to raise his son up to the correct standards of holding a kingdom down is that he sent is son to the nearing country and King in the South , to learn his ways of successfully running a country. The young Prince Harris was also given on his journey a mission, to assemble an army, train them up and once ready -retreat back to Pennland and fight to reclaim their country and land and restore it to it's original state.
As the story progresses , we see arise many 'a' blocks from family issues, to relationships and then that worrisome nagging voice whether he is up to and ready to run a country and step into his father and before that Grandfather's shoes.
This novel is for fans of authors like Trudi Canavan, Tad Williams and Robert Jordan as well as readers who love the Arthurian era of Knights in shining armour.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
