Merissa (12874 KP) rated Catching the Dragon's Heart (Heartstone Rescue #2) in Books
Nov 5, 2023
CATCHING THE DRAGON'S HEART is the second book in the Heartstone Rescue series.
Eyv finds out his betrothal is being broken in favour of his younger brother. In anger, he bites off the hand of his 'beloved.' In return, his father crushes his heartstone and Evy gets sentenced to death. Nice, huh?! Durango is Boone's brother and one of the dragons sent to rescue Eyv. Their attraction is pretty much instant, but they have to cope with the whole, you know, dying part of not having a heartstone.
This was a great addition to the series but I would recommend reading it as a series rather than a standalone. It is full of characters we met in the first book, as well as new ones. There are also more rescues so that ramps up the political situation too.
Lake's story was perfect for him and Boone, just as this one is perfect for Eyv and Durango. I love their family and can't wait to see what happens next for them.
Definitely recommended by me.

Jan 12, 2018
[The War That Saved My Life] by [Kimberly Brubaker Bradley] is a well told story of a young girl in London who has a mother that is ashamed of her. She uses World War II as a way to escape her mother with her young brother to the countryside when children are evacuated from the city. They are placed with a single woman who is suffering from demons of her own.
This coming of age story shows how we all fight wars within ourselves each day and sometimes it takes allowing others to help you to win those wars.

Surprisingly good
Quite a good premise as Kristen Bell's character goes through hell at high school. Only to discover years later her Brother is set to marry the girl who made her life difficult.
I didn't expect much from this but was surprised at the cast including Jamie Lee Curtis, Sigourney Weaver and even Betty White to name a few. Comedies around marriage seem popular in recent years and this reminded me of @The Proposal (2009) in many ways. It has similar humour based on the families clashing and settling old scores.

Sweet but thin storyline
Nikesh Shukla's latest literary escapade is sweet, exploring familial ties and how fate plays a role in this family. The narrators include terminal cancer patient Neha, Kenyan-born father Mukesh, and hapless comedian brother Rakesh, each playing a role in their so-called pre-determined destinies.
The writing is witty and it's always wonderful to hear voices that represent BAME communities in modern Britain. But unfortunately it is a little thin in plot and storyline. It is a host of voices speaking about their perspectives and intricately joining together. An easy read.
