My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In the final installment of this breathtaking series Ian Troy is all that’s left to save his realm and his people from his sadistic father who’s made himself the self appointed emperor….the resistance is shattered, the crown of stones is lost,the people have no hope and Ian Troy is in hiding marked by the crown for destruction. He’s had a vision of a tragic desolate future but can he bring the change that’s needed to thwart his vision?

This final book unveils all the secrets of the Shinree that have been lost to endless slavery and the secrets of their magic and the start of their Slavery.
Ian Troy still bears the marks of his use of magic, and gathers more marka with every use changing him a little more. What is one man willing to carry, or give up in the name of peace? Can he defeat his father once and for all or is the entire race doomed?

This was a thrilling conclusion with a bittersweet but very circular and appropriate ending that left me sad this series was over as i became attarched to the characters. A fantastic read with Brilliantly done characters, twisting and turning plot with vivid imagination and descriptions. So well done.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I’ve read by this author. I don’t usually read this genre either but it was a good read. This book is full of adventure and growth.

Princess Zarina isn’t a character many would like at first. Her Royal Advancement Ceremony is approaching and she just has to have a special dress regardless of any danger that may be present. Princess Zarina quickly learns she’s capable of more than she thought and discovers who she truly is. She discovers strengths she didn’t know she had.

There is a lot of character growth throughout this story and my opinion of Princess Zarina changed by the end. If fairy tales are your thing, this book is for you.

Princess Zarina is the youngest member of her royal family. She does not like to take no for an answer and is used to getting her own way. When Princess Zarina wants a special dress for her Royal Advancement Ceremony, she is determined to make sure it is unique and stands out from everyone else’s dress. She finds a mysterious seamstress that has a reputation for making special dresses and makes a deal with her.

Princess Zarina does not get the beautiful dress she asked for and instead gets a black dress that she hates. When the seamstress asks Princess Zarina to try on the dress, she becomes trapped in it. The seamstress gives Princess Zarina a mysterious message about the dress’ magical qualities before she disappears. Princess Zarina is now on her own and it is up to her to find her way back to the castle. Along the way she learns what the magical qualities of the dress are and uses it to try to avoid being captured by the raiders who have taken over the castle and killed the King and Queen.

The storyline of this book was intriguing, and I loved the way the author weaved the story of Princess Zarina and her journey. Through the book Princess Zarina grows and matures through a series of adventures and life lessons. She starts off as being spoiled, self-centered, and strong-willed but learns what is truly important in life. The author did an amazing job of discussing some real-world life lessons while doing it in a fun, easy-to-read book for children of all ages.

This was such a cute fairy tale, we get to see how Zarina learned to become more than just a pretty face. The journey and the magical dress helped her to know whom to trust so that she could protect what was left of her family. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys new twists on familiar fairy tales. It is full of hope and sadness.

The Traveler: Book 3 is the third book in The Traveler series by Deborah Dugan. We continue our adventures with Harry as he wakes up from stasis in a new configuration and must make his way back to Tristan. Harry must once again go through his journey as he finds himself in danger. This book is even better than the first two. All the thought-provoking events and the complex, emotional plot that you come to know from this series. I absolutely love this series and was so excited to once again see Harry and Tristan.

Princess Zarina is one of Thirteen children. She is by far the most selfish and strong willed of those thirteen too. As Zarina’s Royal Advancement Ceremony approaches she’s super excited and wants a special dress for her big day. As the ceremony approaches, so does some danger to the kingdom so everyone is warned about going outside of the castle especially without escorts’. But nothing will stop the Princess from getting her special dress made by the one of a kind dressmaker, according to courtyard gossip, who lives out past the forest and who’s gifted hands use magic like fabric in her master pieces. Wanting to waste no time they leave straight away and the princess strikes a deal with the dressmaker. Mydori will make a special dress in the color of her own choosing that will be unforgettable. In a rush the princess won’t take the time to size the dress or take any instruction from the dressmaker. Rushing the dress maker to have the dress ready as soon as possible she leaves in rush with plans to pay the dressmaker with cheaper things than agreed. Rushing home she is caught by her older brother and scolded for going out when raiders are afoot. Not being detoured she leaves again to the cottage past the woods to collect her dress and try to swindle the dressmaker. Mydori puts the dress on the princess and then takes her payment and leaves the Princess on the road alone. Now the princess is stuck miles from the castle, alone, in a dress that is to tight, a color she doesn’t like at all, and to top it off she’s unable to take the dress off!! Traveling back home is going to be long journey. Will she get caught by raiders? Will she get the blasted dress off? Will she learn her lesson? What about the magic of the dress? And what will she do about her dress for the ceremony?? She doesn’t have time to have someone else make her one now!! Plus the sticks said someone would perish?!! What a mess for a dress! This book was super cute! I got it for my almost 11 year old, but I think that my 8 year old would enjoy it as well. It teaches kids a few lessons but it’s also entertaining so it keeps their interest. I’d love to see this turned into a small short film for children!! Can’t wait to read more from this author!

This is my kind of fairy tale. The main character, the princess, is not immediately likable, which is a surprisingly welcomed change from my usual reads. Princess Zanira is, in a word, spoiled, but she doesn’t remain as such as the story progresses and it’s clear that she’s more than the face she shows the world. From the beginning, fantastical elements are woven in such a way that it’s sure to captivate the readers. I could easily imagine the story as I read it and, though I’m not in the age range of the usual audience, it was still a great book!

At the start of this book I wasn’t exactly sure how I felt about it. It was a little confusing in the beginning and moved rather slowly at first. However, once you get past that it took on a much more pleasant pace that kept me reading on for more.

We start meeting Princess Zarina who at the beginning I really did not like her at all. Yet, this is her journey into finding herself and discovering strengths she never knew existed. It is about falling flat on her face and coming to realize she doesn’t exactly like the person she is. Knowing she must change to save her people and her kingdom we find heart in her that her kingdom needs. There are so many twists and turns in this book that at times it feels like you might be lost in a maze but definitely keep reading because when the proverbial shoe drops everyone’s eyes open and you begin to understand the path Zarina was set upon. The only thing we need to know is can she save her kingdom or are they doomed to the same fate as her Aunt’s kingdom was? What happens when those closest to you aren’t what they seem?

This almost seems like a coming of age book, a book about growing into the person you are meant to become through the trials and tribulations that life throws at you. It was refreshing to see a book with this much growth in the main character. If you like fairy tales with a lot more growth and heart in them then this book is definitely for you. Definitely a great beach read, something that will keep you coming back just to find out more.

This is the third book in this series which I enjoyed just as much as the previous two books. I highly suggest reading the previous books in this series to help your enhancement of this series and to see where the characters have been up to now. I found this book to be well written and hard to put down. I enjoyed seeing Harry on another adventure and the danger he put himself into. He is such a great strong character, he made the story for me. This is an easy and entertaining story to read. You are pulled into the story by the author’s use of details that made it more realistic. You don’t want to miss this series. I highly recommend this book.

This is the first book I have read by K.L. Small, and I was very surprised. While the synopsis seemed interesting, I wasn’t sure if I would truly enjoy a juvenile rated book, I thought quickly vanished. Zarina, the youngest and most beautiful of the parents 13 children she is also the most selfish and lets it be known that she doesn’t care.
In two weeks, Zarina will officially have her Royal Advancement Ceremony and get her own chair in the grand room with her family. With recent reports of raiders attacking outlying homes and taking everything of value including food and clothing, the King decides to have a summit. Zarina’s birthday will be the biggest birthday event thus far, including a gala. Finally, she will be allowed to wear a true ball gown and not a little girls dress, only it must be “A Dress to Remember”. Having been told of a seamstress that has “magical” like abilities with what she can create with fabric Zarina ignores all her father’s warnings to get a one-of-a-kind dress. Like with all deals the hidden meanings in the riddles are what set Zarina on a great adventure to return to the castle. Quickly she learns that the subjects of her kingdom, whom she disliked looking at because they always looked so unhappy, start to inform her of how her father and the overseer treat them. She is informed by multiple people on her journey of them taking everything, beatings just because they looked like they might break a rule and told of being thrown in the castle’s dungeons. Venny, one of the men in the village as the scars to prove his claims, only Zarina can’t shake the feeling that she knows him, the slat of his nose the shape of his eyes, she once knew someone with those exact features, but the memory is fuzzy. Finally reaching the castle her heart quickly drops as something is wrong, the guards don’t bare her families royal seal, the banners on the turrets are missing, and the courtyard is filled with raiders.
Can Zarina go from a spoiled selfish girl to someone worthy of the peoples love and respect? What happened to her family? Will she be able to rescue Venny and save the village from the Overseer? The magic in her dress is limited, what will happen when the magic is gone, and her fate is determined? The world the author creates is truly like a fairy tale and yet feels realistic. I can envision the events playing out like a movie in my head and my heart racing that Zarina will succeed. I found myself glued to the pages having to know how it ends. Beautiful quick read with magic, personal growth, villains, and more trapped within its pages.

I am well past the intended age group of readers for this wonderful book but I truly enjoyed it and can see many others enjoying it too! Zarina is a true spoilt brat at the beginning but she grows and changes over the course of the story and I think it is something that will draw young readers in and is fantastic for them to experience while captivated by this great storyline. This author is definitely going places and i for one will be keeping a watch on her future books.

Intriguing. I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. Harry is a wonderful character, and has such an interesting history. He goes into stasis and then when he comes out it, he is a new being. He remembers all his previous lives, which he has hundreds and thousands of them. In this story, we see his life as a mantis, and meet Bakari. I couldn’t understand why she would take Harry, and honestly still don’t but, it was nerve wrecking watching Tristan and Elena worry over him and where he was. Harry in the mean time is content and is learning how to connect with his own power again, as we get a glimpse of his previous lives. It seems like through this ordeal with Bakari, Harry is able to come into a different form, one that leaves Tristan and Elena speechless. Great read, very creative story!

*Sigh* This is a bittersweet moment. Sweet because I thoroughly enjoyed this installment. Bitter because it’s the last one. This final installment blew my mind away. Ian Troy and his friends must face fate to save everyone. But in doing so will Ian finally turn into the beast he’s fought so hard against? Will he succumb to magic and turn out just like his father? It was captivating and page turning. At times intense. I haven’t enjoyed such a good book in a very long time. It’s definitely worth a read.

So the first book I read in this series was actually book number 2. I knew I had to go back and read the first one. I’m glad I did. Although I found book to enjoyable the information in book 1 helped me make sense of a few things.

This series is a page turner. The creative world the author has created is by far one of the best I’ve encountered. I enjoy fantasy books (one of my favorite genres to read), this exceeded my expectations. I feel like I’m completely submerged in their world as I’m reading. The magic used in the story is a different flavor than I’m used to but it made it more interesting. There is never a full moment when n this story. Each character is unique and adds to the story. Even the ones you despise. Please give this series a chance. You won’t regret it!

I thought this was a very well written YA fantasy.

The premise of the story, is a spoiled princess wants a one of a kind dress for her coming out party. The kingdom is facing some hard times, but she is oblivious. She quickly realizes the gravity of what is going on, and does what she can to help her kingdom.

A coming of age story in a fantasy backdrop. Loved it!

In one fell swoop, the resistance was shattered. Lives were taken. Hope was lost. Peace slipped like grains of sand through his fingers. So did the Crown of Stones. Now, forced into hiding, Ian Troy grapples for a way to save the realm—and free its people—from the sadistic clutches of Mirra’kelan’s new self-appointed emperor. Plagued with the knowledge of a tragic future, he strives to influence events and save those he cares for. But his magic has betrayed him, and Fate has other plans.

Marked by the crown, hindered by the transformation spell contained within, each cast brings Ian one step closer to becoming more beast than man. Each move brings the death and destruction foretold in his vision inexplicably nearer. With Langor on the brink of war, and King Malaq’s plan for peace hanging in the balance, Ian returns to the ancient past; seeking an end to the eldring spell and a means to thwart Jem’s growing domination. What he finds there sets off a chain of revelations that leads Ian places he never thought to go.

Entrusted with the future of his race, Ian becomes the linchpin for lasting change. But how much weight can one man carry? And how much is he willing to sacrifice in the name of peace?

Magic-Borne is the exciting final installment in The Crown of Stones Trilogy.

4 Stars

 

The Traveler: Book Three is the third instalment in The Traveler series by Deborah Dugan. As with the previous books, it is a complex thought-provoking sci-fi fantasy with time travel, adventure, action, time and space/reality travels, energy manipulation, danger, drama, high stakes, risks, intrigue, tension, plenty of originality & imagination, humour, and deeper themes that makes this another highly creative read.
As we discovered at the beginning of this adventure (Book #1)- The Traveler is an ancient ‘being’ who has travelled the universe and has taken on various forms over millennia, then using these ‘experiences’ as a means to gaining knowledge and power. This book explores time, reality, energy manipulation, dimensions, and much more. The Traveler finds himself in danger, and so the tension mounts as I followed along to find out how it all played out in the end. Colour me intrigued!
As this is the third book in the series which follows The Traveler on their journey, and continues the ‘adventures’ we started back in book one, I highly recommend reading the previous books before starting on this one, as they will help ground you in the story, as well as provide interesting and important details that will help enhance your overall reading experience of this book, and series as a whole.
Again, I felt this book was more emotional and impactful than the previous books- the series definitely seems to be getting better and better with each new instalment. There are even more threads, more attention to detail, depth, and development here than the first two- and even though I really enjoyed the first two books, this one is better still.
Another unique, interesting, and thought-provoking read.
I wonder what Ms. Dugan, and Harry, have in store for us next?
Happy reading!

Thank you, Deborah Dugan!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Harry is back after another period of stasis where he regenerates his life force and adapts to become a new configuration, but a lot has changed and so when he finds his way back to Tristan, there are a lot of new things he has to learn, but he is willing and able to do it. He first finds his friend’s house and makes his way to a flower bed so that he can work out when and where he is, feeling relieved is an understatement when he realises that Tristan is still there, but his new configuration confuses Tristan at first, but as soon as he realises that it is Harry, he is very happy to have him back.

As Harry learns about what has come to pass during his stasis, he finds that there are new amazing things to experience, as well as new frustrations and dangers, much like his past lives, there are always new emotions to experience and new dangers to watch out for, but again, life is not a straight line and obstacles are thrown in his way. As night falls and another day moves into the quiet time when Harry is awake, but all other people and things are asleep, he experiences something completely new and scary and so he has to quickly learn how to adapt and what he can do to keep himself safe and get back to Tristan.

As this new situation develops, Harry has to investigate an occurrence which involves the energy which flows throughout the universe and he realises that he may be in a position to help someone, but that it may also be the beginning of a breakthrough of his understanding of his own existence and powers, but will he be able to stay objective which he investigates and decides whether the pros of helping this individual outweigh the cons, or will he put himself in more danger than ever before? This is another in depth look into existence and reality in its many forms and asks the hard philosophical questions in such a way that you learn about life and learn to love the characters all at the same time and this is something which is both enriching and exciting, albeit at times mind boggling in the best possible way.

This is book 3 in the uniquely quirky The Traveler series by Deborah Dugan. This series is an unusually different Sci Fi fantasy adventure story with time travel.
The Traveler is an original tale that captivates and intrigues its audience. The Traveler/Harry is a fascinating character. I recommend you read the books in order to learn about this timeless ancient being and his travels and encounters and appreciate the levels of the story.
Deborah have skilfully woven fantasy and science fiction to give the reader an imagery that is creative and thought provoking and imaginative storytelling. It is engaging, and has an emotionally charged storyline.
To save himself and others Harry must drive himself to the point of grave danger and beyond. Will they survive?
I recommend this series to lovers of sci-fi and fantasy who are looking for something that is original, entertaining and thought-provoking.

What is there not to like about a book that has the Disney Fairytale feel to it?! This book was a fantastic fantasy read that I feel young readers would really enjoy! I mean come on there’s fairies, magic, adventure, evil villains, witches, and castles it has everything that the world of fantasy needs. The novel is being told from Zarina’s point of view; she is also the main character. Zarina is a spoiled princess, (like the evil sisters from Cinderella spoiled) with quite a bit of older siblings. And as tradition would have it, she is about to have very her own Royal Advancement. And being the spoiled princess that she is, she has to have the best, most extravagant dress that the kingdom has ever seen, and even though there are plenty of troubles brewing in the kingdom, the only important thing to the Princess is having this amazing gown for her big day! Deals were made, but like always, anytime you make a deal… it doesn’t come out the way you thought it would. Now, Zarina has to make a choice on whether or not she is going to come to the rescue of her family’s kingdom. Does Zarina stay the spoiled princess or does she grow up and fight for her kingdom? The only way to find out is to pick up the book and get lost in the world of Zarina and her kingdom.

This installment of the Harry’s adventures had me on the edge of my seat. I can’t really tell you much because it might just spoil it. At times, you feel you are right there with him experiencing his small world, teetering on the edge of his “cliff.” The story keeps you engaged and thinking as you follow along. I couldn’t put it down because I wanted to know what was going to happen next with Harry. I love Tristan and Elena but Harry is my favorite. He’s also our main character. Critter was an interesting twist. The story had a really interesting flow and ran smooth. I enjoyed the story and can’t wait to read what happens in his next adventure.

Humans ask, how does time bind us, but The Traveler asks: how shall time be unbound?

Humans ask, what is reality, but the Travler asks: what is reality within the fluctuating energy of time and space.

In Book 3 of The Travler series, Harry’s experiences take him from Tristan’s flower bed to a soul-shaking revelation that puts him on the cusp of regaining full awareness of his power. This next evolutionary step may change his place in this reality forever.

Harry’s growth in understanding and manipulating energy flows is never without risk. His current configuration puts him in grave danger that he must find a way to escape. He must forcefully extend his energy manipulation to save himself and another, but will his inherent compassion hold him back?

Spirit Guide (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #3)Spirit Guide by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

These books are a series and are intended to be read as such. Excellent reads!

Elinor is back again, still with Tristan’s help and now with an assistant who has a lot to learn – and the excitement just keeps ramping up. When the daughter of a nobleman goes missing, Elinor is hired for the case to find who kidnapped her. As usual, Tristan goes along. As their relationship continues to develop, Tristan is acting a bit strange and giving commands to Elinor. When she gets a clue about her father, she takes off to figure it out – will she stay safe? Will Tristan forgive her for going against his wishes and not protecting her safety?

There are so many gorgeous visual descriptions you feel like you’re right there, and Elinor’s witty banter, strength and capabilities make her one of my favorite female protagonists I’ve read about. Add some paranormal, the Morpheus Society and mediumistic abilities and it all blends into an excellent series.

A Dress To Remember: A Fairy TaleA Dress To Remember: A Fairy Tale by K.L. Small
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Dress to Remember is a different take on a fairytale. A darker take that was written beautifully. Not all fairytales are sunshine and roses, however most there’s a lesson to be learned from the story being told. When I started it I wasn’t too sure what I was reading, but it didn’t take long to follow the story the authwas trying to tell.
Princess Zarina is spoiled, selfish, naive and the youngest of 13. And despite all that she’s the center of attention, even more so because her Advancement Ceremony is rapidly approaching. Ignoring the warnings of things not being safe due to the raiders, she sets out for the perfect dress. Well she gets that perfect dress and it changes her life. It starts by upending it, and the adventure she embarks on to get back to her home and family is a humbling one. She learns so much about the people she once ignored, but not without difficulty. She also has the help of “the dress.” Magic has been imbued in it to get her to where she’s meant to be in life.
Does she make it back home?
What happens with the raiders?
If you enjoy darker fairy tales it’s something you should definitely check out! You want beautiful character growth this book gives you exactly that. You want an intriguing story, it gives you that as well! Check it out.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Madame Chalament Ghost Mysteries series. The book takes Elinor and Tristen on an adventure full of intrigue while they search for a missing nobleman’s daughter. The addition of Twyla, an fairly inexperienced apprentice brings the reader to understand Elinor more.
The author has an amazing talent of world building and takes us readers on a amazing adventure along side the characters. I have read many books by this author and I’m never disappointed. I love Elinor’s strength, knowledge, charm, and so much more. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

My rating: <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5434267609″>5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
This is book three of the Madame Chalamet series and is just as good as its predecessors. Elinor and Tristan are on the hunt to find out who and why someone has kidnapped the daughter of a nobleman. The nobleman thinks the Society, a group that Elinor works for, is behind it. Will she be able to remain impartial and do some good investigating? What will the fate of Elinor be when she comes up missing herself? How will she dig herself out of this mess? These books are pleasant reads and can be read in one sitting. I felt like the chapters were a bit short but they still packed in a lot of information that kept the story moving forward. While I can recommend this book on its own I strongly feel that one should read books one and two to get a better understanding and feel for the characters.
