Review: Books and Broadswords

✩✩

 

This novella-length volume includes two romantic fantasy stories set in a shared world, each with a guaranteed happily ever after, plus a new bonus epilogue.

Books & Broadswords

The only thing Feora likes more than stealing the king’s gold is using it to buy books. But when a handsome, persistent knight interrupts her day, Feora must decide if saving his life is worth revealing her true nature.

Rocks & Rapiers

Zenira never wanted to sell her rock collection, but when the new landowner raises her rent, she’s out of options. Armed with a sketchy rumor about a collector who will pay for stones others might consider worthless, Zenira sets out, but she’s met with an icy scowl, a muddy manor, and the overwhelming urge to mend the mess—owner included.

Review: After reading (and loving) Silver & Blood, I decided to try this little duo of fantasy novellas by Jessie Mihalik. Unfortunately, neither story worked for me, as they have almost no plot to speak of and some parts are really silly. I did like the shared epilogue, but not enough to compensate for the rest. Other than the fact that it's short I find little to recommend in this book, and this author has much better works out there. 

Happy readings otherwise!
