The Star Scroll ( The Dragon Prince book 2)
By Melanie Rawn
Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
The second book of the "Dragon Prince" trilogy. Rohan and his Sunrunner wife are crowned High Prince and High Princess, and swear to keep the secret of the dragons. But a foe once vanquished by the Sunrunners is growing again, and their only hope lies in the long-lost Star Scroll.
This is one of those books that you start and think it’s never going to end. Then you slip into the lives of every single one of the characters and suddenly you are at the end! This book gives us the next generation set up for book 3. You can’t help but get hooked and excited to see what becomes of the hatchlings as sioned likes to call them! We see great loses and some loses we craved, I now look forward to seeing a old magic revived! Also dragons lots of dragons!

Ross (3284 KP) rated Pan's Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun in Books
Aug 19, 2019
It has been a number of years since I watched Pan's Labyrinth, but remember it as being a dark, twisted fairy tale set during the second world war. The book keeps that feel, we are introduced to Ofelia, a quiet bookish young girl who is moving with her mother to live with her stepfather, as he tries to break a group of Spanish rebels, ahead of the birth of her half-brother.
Ofelia sees some unusual statues and artefacts in the woods and soon meets the Faun, who sets her a mission to return to take her place as the princess of the Underground Kingdom.
There follows a brilliant mix of Ofelia's real life, the despicable exploits of Franco's army, and the fairy tale world she steps into.
This is a very short, immersive fairy tale with lots of nice side-stories that all weave into the book in some form.
