Such an amazing story. It is hard not to fall in love with Termeraire and Lawrence.

Having his world pulled out from under him, Lawrence goes from being a captain of the British Navy to becoming a captain in the Serial Corps. Where he has to unlearn somethings and play catch-up with others in attempt to rejoin the Napoleonic Wars.

I highly recommend this book for fantasy lovers and alt history fans and more

This new historical fiction book is also biographical fiction, and it might appeal to lovers of historical fantasy, because of the paranormal elements included. "Cher Ami and Major Whittlesey" tells the story of a soldier in WWI and the homing pigeon that helped rescue his battalion. I hope you'll take a look at my #bookreview of this beautifully written novel by Kathleen Rooney​ on my blog now.

Coming into a series three books in was not a good idea, I had no background info about her brother or her lovers or the guardians. I was just suddenly knee deep in a story that I was enjoying up until about the 150 page mark when she was suddenly having sex with almost everyone and I felt like I'd missed something (which since it's the third book, I obviously had). Therefore i'm giving it three stars.

To echo other reviews, yes, the book is vastly different from the film. To be honest, I prefer the film.
I like Alice Hoffman as an author in general, but you can definitely tell this was an earlier book. It follows the Owens women, and their various doomed lovers. You can tell there are so many books written after this one that took inspiration from it.
Again, I can't help but compare it to the film, Sally's children weren't really a huge part of the movie, which I liked (sorry, I find kids super boring), but in the book, they're a huge part of it. It was really kind of annoying, and it almost made me stop reading.
I still liked the story, and thought the book was good, but wished it was more like the movie. Blasphemy, I know.
