David McK (3692 KP) rated Captain of Rome (Masters of the Sea, #2) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
Second novel in John Stacks "Masters of the Sea" series, I have to say I found this one heavier going than the first ("A Ship of Rome").
A possible reason for that, however, might be simply that I was coming to this one straight off the back of one of Simon Scarrows Roman novels, with a somewhat similar setting ("The Eagle's Prophecy" - although that was set in a later part of the Roman Era),

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated American Royals (American Royals, #1) in Books
Dec 31, 2019
I received a copy of American Royals from Random House Books for Young Readers through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I thought this book had a great premise but was a little disappointed at the lack of history. All we got is that in this verse it is a faux pas to drink tea.
Okayyyy.
The characters are great but there's that lack of communication trope so present in ya novels.

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated The Lost for Words Bookshop in Books
Oct 7, 2020
What would you think about a woman who is so secretive about her past that the only clues to it appear as her tattoos that contain only the first lines of significant novels? This is Loveday Cardew and she works at the Lost for Words Bookshop, the titular store in Stephanie Butland’s latest novel. See what I thought of this book in my review here.
