The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Cher Ami and Major Whittlesey in Books
Oct 5, 2020
This new historical fiction book is also biographical fiction, and it might appeal to lovers of historical fantasy, because of the paranormal elements included. "Cher Ami and Major Whittlesey" tells the story of a soldier in WWI and the homing pigeon that helped rescue his battalion. I hope you'll take a look at my #bookreview of this beautifully written novel by Kathleen Rooney on my blog now.

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.

Trish (4 KP) rated Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children in Books
Feb 8, 2018
Interesting concept. Its like a fantasy novel for children. Historical references were neat. Read an interview with the author and he used the pictures to build the story around them. Thus, they fit into the story perfectly. At times, they seemed forced upon the story though. Kept my attention and was pretty light reading. The movie version will be interesting also.
