Fantastic world/concept
Beautiful
True story telling, beautifully written. I was led through the story like a dream, completely immersed. I couldn't put it down. The writing is fantastic, I don't remember the text ever really explaining the concepts of the books (e.g. by characters explaining them) but somehow I found myself truely understanding it.
Plus the concept and fantasy world being is beautifully captivating.
This us how you write LGBTQ+ literature, no tokenism just pure story. I love the romance and felt everything I think the author entailed.
I would highly recommend this to all fantasy lovers - so glad I picked this up randomly in the library. This NEEDS to be talked about more!

BookwormMama14 (18 KP) rated Fawkes in Books
Jan 2, 2019
A stunning masterpiece. Melding history and fantasy into an unforgettable story.
I can not get over just how much I have come to love this story! There is so much history in this story that I was shocked by how well the author was able to mingle such a rich fantasy aspect to the story as well.
This story has so much to captivate the imagination, magic, romance, battles, plots, alliances, and true history! Brandes has created such a world of Colors that makes me believe color speak is possible. I am so impressed I am in a sort of color-daze.
The bottom line, if you enjoy YA Fantasy you will fall in LOVE with this story. If you enjoy historical books but haven't been brave enough to give the fantasy genre a try yet...I have a feeling you will enjoy this one. So be brave, give it a try...You may just fall in love with a new author!
I received a complimentary copy of Fawkes from the publishers. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

Mekkin B. (122 KP) rated Sorcerer to the Crown (Sorcerer Royal #1) in Books
Sep 13, 2017
Fabulous Magical Regency Romp
Sorcerer to the Crown is a Regency era fantasy novel packed with romance, mystery, and adventure. Fans of historial fiction and gaslamp fantasy like Jonathan Strange & Mister Norell, the Chrestomanci series, or A Great and Terrible Beauty will enjoy this romantic romp through an alternative London where magic is a gentleman's sport and issues of race, class, and gender are as worrying as the general decline of magic in England.
Zacharias Wythe charms as the stoic Sorcerer Royal and Prunella Gentleman, the snarky orphan with a troubling amount of magical talent, is easily his match. The relationship between the two has a Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet quality that still manages to feel fresh and unique.
Cho has crafted a wonderful fantasy world replete with interesting characters and intriguing mysteries, it's easy to see why this book gained a nomination for 2016's Locus Award for Best First Novel.
