My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Hussar’s Duty is the third book in The Winged Warrior Series. It is a historical adventure that is set in the 17th Century at the time of the war between the Ottoman Empire and Central Europe. Although it can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading the first two books so that you know more about the backstory and characters. The author has done an amazing job of transporting the reader to the 17th Century through detailed writing that fully immerses you in each scene. The storyline centers around the characters of Jacek and Oliwia who have been living a peaceful life until Jacek gets called back into duty. Jacek was a warrior with the Winged Warriors but now has turned his focus to devoting his life to his wife and family. When he is called back to duty Jacek finds that he feels conflicted between duty to his country or the love of his family. Jacek’s character is one that is easy to get heavily invested into as he must make the gut-wrenching decision of choosing loyalty to his country or the love of his family. I highly recommend this book that is full of adventure, action, drama, danger, angst, and romance.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having read the previous books in this series I was looking forward to being back with Jacek and Oliwia, and I was not disappointed. As usual the descriptive narrative brought the characters and the setting vividly to life, while the added historical details transported me back in time. The storyline is set in the era when Sultan Osman II sends Poland’s envoy packing, and the Commonwealth is preparing for war against the Ottomans large army. Grand Hetman of the Crown Stanisław Żółkiewski has been tasked with repelling the invasion, and he needs the Commonwealth’s most valiant Polish winged hussar, Jacek Dąbrowski.
Meanwhile, Jacek has made a life away from the battlefield with his wife Oliwia and their children, and although he is feeling idle he’s worried that his family will be at risk whilst he’s away. However, Oliwia has no intention of letting him go alone and so hatches a plan to accompany him. Jacek is torn between his country and his family, knowing that which ever one he chooses it will have consequences. This is a fast paced, exciting read with a storyline full of adventure, drama, and romance and a plot which keeps you guessing as to the outcome of the story. An enjoyable and entertaining novel, and one which I recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Although I do not enjoy war or warfare itself, there is a special place in my heart for warriors. The main characters are a warrior and his wife in medieval Poland. There are similarities to German spellings and the grammatical syntax of the Russian languages to be quite interesting. These details are compelling as points of history. Another interesting point is the role the wife takes, both in her marriage and her household.

This is the third book in the series and is a great addition overall. This book can be read as a standalone but is one I would suggest is worth reading in order. This book is detailed and such an interesting one to read. I like how varied the story and the characters felt. The characters really brought this book to life. They added a dynamic to the book that made it even more enjoyable.
This author is a very new author to me but I am really enjoying their writing style. It has a good, easy to read tone to it and I always connect with the story being told. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and I can wait to read more from this author.

The Hussar’s Duty (The Winged Warrior Series Book 3) by Griffin Brady. This is the 3rd book in the Winged Warrior Series and it is full of action, adventure and romance. I do recommend reading the previous books first just to better enjoy and understand the series. In this book we find Jacek settled down with a wife and family but he’s not entirely happy. He’s restless and itches to be back in the battles that’s he’s always been in. When Jacek is called back to fight for Poland he rushes to help but when he gets there he realizes not everything is at it seems. Torn between his Country that he loves and who he pledged to fight for and his family. Which battle will Jacek take on the one for his Country or the one with his wife. He loves his family but he was born to fight for his country. This author has written this series so well I feel as if I’m in Poland in the 17th century and in the middle of this horrible war. Do yourself a favor and read this amazing series today!

The Hussar’s Duty is the third book in The Winged Warrior series. I recommend reading the books previous to this one, but this can still be enjoyed as a standalone story. Jacek has defended his country tirelessly but is now settled with a wife and family. Despite his wife’s best attempts at keeping him busy so he doesn’t feel restless, he is pulled by the call to arms. Will he have to choose between his country and family?
This is well-written historical fiction. The characters are full of depth, and the story is complex but relatable. It has been a while since I read the second book in this series, but I didn’t feel lost in the story. Jacek is an interesting character and shows how a soldier can be so dedicated to a cause. Though this is a bit complex at times, the author draws the reader in, and you don’t want to put it down. I rediscovered this author with this book and look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved Trapping the Butterfly by Debra Parmley! The characters are believable and relatable. It’s a super easy read, and hard to put down! I read this in one sitting because I just couldn’t put it down. There was romance, exploration, danger and excitement but I would say still appropriate even for mature YA readers. Set in prohibition times, Bethany’s overprotective guardians (aunt and uncle) are determined to continue managing their niece (and her inheritance) by arranging a marriage with an unsavory business partner. While vacationing at the hot springs, Bethany unknowingly befriends a woman who is caught up with a gangster working closely with Al Capone. As she catches the eye of another gangster, Bethany is caught between the excitement and newness of this dangerous world and the safety of her new friend, Paul, a detective undercover watching the mobs activities.

This is the third book in The Winged Warrior Series and is a Historical Adventure/Romance that once you start reading its hard to put down. I realized after I was halfway through that I skipped the second book so I’ll be going back and reading it. This author is fairly new to me still but what I’ve read so far I’m a fan. This is packed with action, adventure, drama, Romance and so much more. The characters are strong, supportive and developed. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens when a Warrior must pick between defending his country or his family both of which him. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

This book was so cute. I read this to my niece and she loves it. This book goes on a cute adventure as animals. You read about how the wild animals could view us as humans. The pictures that they used in the book went very well with the story. This is a great book to read with young kids. They will laugh and love the ending.

This was really an enjoyable read. I found myself really interested in how this group of animals viewed humans in their natural environment and found it funny because I think really their observations were spot on with how humans could be viewed by someone who has never encountered them before. It was a fun book and I recommend it to any parent who has a child that wants to read. It is a nice book and I think many kids will enjoy it.

I really enjoyed this historical story. It has something for everyone. Romance, danger,unrest, brave warriors, war and plenty of action.
This is the 3rd book in The Winged Warriors series and even though this book can be read on its own and still be enjoyed I would recommend reading the books in order so that you can fully immerse yourself in the story and the history. You can take that the author is passionate about this time period as the research and details involved in this book are amazing. As a reader you are transported back in time and given a complete insight into what life was like.
Jacek is a brave warrior. As part of The Winged Warriors he has been on several missions fighting for his country. During that time he also found love.
Now he has a decision to make that no warrior wants to face. Does he go back to fight and do his duty for his country or does he stay with his family? Both decision have consequences and we follow Jacek through all the ups and downs and the twists and turns thats happen along the way when his wife tries to give him the best of both. The freedom to fight again while having his family near but this also leads to complications and problems and the price maybe too high for Jacek to pay.
This is a completely engaging historic tale. The writing style is so descriptive that you can actually visually every scene the author describes. I felt completely invested in Jacek’s life, his family and the consequences of their decisions.

Ranger Marco, a raccoon, decides to help out a family of deer. He takes them on a people safari! The fawn learns a lot, especially when they’re on their own for a bit in the town. They give Marco a lot of questions which he tries to answer scientifically. It’s such a cute story with lessons, theories, and more. My toddler enjoyed listening and looking at the great pictures.

What a beautiful and delightful read! This wonderfully illustrated story has an entertaining and imaginative storyline! The flipflop of traditional world to an animal world and their observations of humans was so fun. I just loved the characters, Ranger Marco and his adventure with Fawn and family exploring the human world was so cute. The characters and their interactions really made the story. This is an easy read that is fun for the whole family. It will put a smile on your face!

What a great way to teach kids to change their perspective! This book is about Ranger Marco and the animal scientists he is giving a tour to see what they think about humans and the things they do. It’s a fun journey with a deer family and their racoon guide. The illustrations are magical and fun, it gives kids a chance to think about the environment and some of the things we do, and it is laugh-out-loud funny on more than one occasion. I loved it as much as my kids!

My kiddos and I thoroughly enjoyed People Safari and its gorgeous illustrations! We immediately picked up other books by this author as soon as we finished this one. It will have you giggling and give you a whole new perspective of nature, animals, and our environment. I thought it was a very cute book and definitely made my kids pretend to be animals observing me for the rest of the day! I highly recommend picking this up and sharing it with the younger ones in your life.

This was a cute book! It was interesting to see the animals describe what us humans do everyday, and I guess it would be an interesting and different way to teach young children about why we do some of the things we do. The illustrations in this book was also very cute and colorful. I very much enjoyed looking at those! I look forward to reading this book to my daughter when she gets a little older and understands more.

Have you ever wondered what animals think about humans? Well, now you can find out in
this cute and imaginative story by Feather Chelle. With the animals’ funny takes on some of the human ways, like walking on their hind legs and with the beautifully rendered illustrations, this is definitely a book for the keeper pile. Children will be so engrossed in the story that they won’t realize they are learning at the same time.

Ranger Marco helps the deer family by teaching Fawn all about humans, their world, and the things they encounter or use, such as cars and clothes. Will Fawn realize just how great her life in the woods is after seeing how humans live? You can find out by reading this fun tale that adults and children alike will enjoy.

People Safari was an adorable book, for all ages. It is geared toward little kids, but I think older would enjoy as well. The characters are cute (I love that they used a deer family with names Doe, Buck and Fawn) and the pictures are colorful and fun. This story is told in the perspective of animals, visiting and describing the human world. There is a lot of cute descriptions, that I would never have thought of. For example, how they think kids getting on a school bus is a monster eating the littlest of humans. It reminded me of movies like Over the Hedge and Open Season- where it is focused on a reverse perspective. Makes you re-think and giggle about the silly things us humans do. My 7 year old was laughing a couple times, saying it was the ANIMALS who were silly for not understanding. He loved it, thanks for a fun book!

This was my first book by this author and in this series. I was not disappointed. Although I read it as a stand-alone, I will go back and read the first two just to get more of the series. It’s very well-written and captivating. I’m beginning to enjoy historical fiction and this book just proves that I must dive more into this genre. It’s very entertaining and has tons of action. Although it’s set in the time period it’s set in, it’s still relatable with how real the characters are and their personalities.

What fun story to read to the kids. Looking from an animal’s perspective was amazing. A great turn around as far as people go. Made a person think, that’s for sure. The author made note of the different houses and vehicles. I laughed so hard when the deer asked where in the house people poop. The story was well written and easy to follow. Even easier for the children to understand. This may have been a new author for me, but not for long as I will be looking and reading more her.

I enjoyed this short and fun look at humans from an animal’s perspective. A family of deer are guided on a tour of a human town by a racoon. They get to see many of the differences between humans and animals and the way they live. This is a cute story that people of all ages will enjoy. While visiting the humans can be fun the young deer also finds out just how unnerving it can be. This is a cute read that gives readers a look at how animals might interpret the way we live. The deer family has some good questions and the pictures are fun and invite discussions. This story is an easy way to start a discussion with young children. The descriptions that the racoon uses to explain the way humans live are very entertaining and will bring a smile to everyone.

People Safari by Feather Chelle. This is such a beautiful book inside and out. Its the story of animals who go on a journey into the city and their view of human life. Ranger Marco, a raccoon is the leader and he is trying to convince the deer family that it is safe to venture out. He finally talks them into it and they go on an adventure. The fawn learns about neighborhoods, how people live and people in general. When the fawn gets lost the deer family is terrified and decide to never leave the forest again. This is such a fun book about animals take on people and the things they do. Such a fun book and would be a great gift as well. As an adult I enjoyed it very much.

What would it be like if the animals could go on a people safari? Pretty stinking cute! In this book has a ranger walking a deer family into the natural environment of people. They try to figure out what things like cars, humans wearing clothes…and dogs wear clothes are all about. The baby of this group gets lost and gets a little first hand experience in dealing with us people. So cute!!!!

Wow there is a LOT that happens with this book! Action packed right from the beginning, there’s not a whole lot I can say that won’t give away too much. The story focuses mainly on Ruarnon and their struggles as a teen when regency is suddenly thrust upon them, but also features detailed supporting characters. Very rich character development. I also liked seeing the similarities between Ruarnon and their opposition… seeing they had very similar struggles but how they handled things were vastly different and therefor the outcomes were as well.
There were definitely some twists and surprises that I didn’t expect, and that always makes for a good read! I just started the second one and am already hooked there as well!

I enjoyed reading people safari. This was a great book where Ranger Marco ( a raccoon ) takes a family Of deer on a field trip
Out of the woods to show them the town and explains about the people wandering around, the houses they live in, the cars that he describes as beasts that do not talk or breathe. The fawn is very curious about everything from how humans walk in their back feet to the clothes they wear and change every day until they get spooked and everyone is separated and the fawn gets lost.

This story is wonderfully written, the illustrations are fantastic and the plot will draw you in and have you following along all to learn about the People that live in the Town. The animals are the main characters in this story that has you learning about who “people” are and why they don’t live in the wild like the animals. Very clever and will have you following along as we learn all about people.
