This is the second book in Allen's series about the Ravenshurst cousins and I loved it! It's well written and funny and the two central characters are both endearing.
I loved the polar bear and the incident with the bathing machines - very enjoyable historical fiction with a very sexy romance!

Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated A Star-Reckoner's Lot (A Star-Reckoner's Legacy, #1) in Books
Feb 21, 2018
A Star-Reckoner's Lot was unlike anything I have read before. This story was part historical fiction, part fantasy, and all adventure. I was not at all familiar with pre-Islamic Iranian culture and lore before reading this book. The author didn't waste words on excessive description, or spell everything out for the reader, but it was easy enough to figure out what was going on just by following Ashtadukht, Tirdadin, and Waray across the sands as they hunt for the mystical being that killed Ashtadukht's husband. Fantasy lovers, historical fiction fans, and anyone who likes a good story should really enjoy this book.
