Auburn (57 KP) rated Kiss of the Royal in Books

Apr 10, 2019

The kiss of a princess can be a powerful tool against the forces of evil. A magic that I have never read about is weaved into this book and I could not be more impressed.
Think romance of enemies to lovers but more subtle than that. A princess who will do anything to win and a prince who doesn't want her help. Together they will argue their way to victory. You will laugh, roll your eyes, and ultimately fall for these two unlikely allies.

Auburn (57 KP) rated The Merciful Crow (The Merciful Crow, #1) in Books

Apr 10, 2019

I don't know if 5 stars is enough for this. Maybe 10?

Representation and a caste system that is broken. Crows are at the bottom but without them the world would die of disease.
Characters are represented subtlety and you almost miss it. It is woven so seamlessly into the plot.

The Princess Bride meets Six of Crows and together they burn the world down.

If you enjoy the As You Wish of Princess Bride than this needs to be on the top of your list.

Which Lie Did I Tell?

William Goldman | 2001 | Biography

(0 Ratings)

Book Favorite

"The second non-fiction book by the legendary novelist and screenwriter responsible for such classic films as The Princess Bride (a personal favorite), Marathon Man, All The President’s Men and Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. Like the prequel, Which Lie Did I Tell includes candid behind-the-scenes stories, a window into the process of how to write good scripts and how The Princess Bride became his first screen credit in nearly nine years. A thoroughly entertaining insider’s look into how Hollywood works."
