Read series in order

Dragon Master V04 Power of the Fire Dragon by Tracey West

May 15, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Read the Dragon Master series in order. This review is about book four, Power of the Fire Dragon by Tracey West. As an adult I could pick things up in the story arc that allowed me to understand what was going on, as we are starting in the middle of the characters stories. However, I am not sure if the age six to nine age range would be able to. I probably would have enjoyed it more having read book one, as there are things […]

Little people doing big things

Me and the Boss: A Story About Mending and Love. by Michele Edwards

Dragon Bones: The Fantastic Fossil Discoveries of Mary Anning by Sarah Glen Marsh

May 10, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I have not done a picture book marathon in a bit, and the most recent netted four books. Two of them have a lose theme of siblings. The Michele Edwards is an obvious sibling dynamic, where as the book about Mary Anning mentions her brother, and what he did to assist her, but the focus is on her. However, the other theme is that of you may be small, and you will need to take your time, but you can get the job done. I […]

All the Rage

When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill

May 5, 2023 by Owlizabeth 2 Comments

I’ve been sitting here staring at a blank screen, trying desperately to figure out the words to convey the depth and urgency of my love for this book. Let’s start with: if I have anything to be grateful to the former occupier of the White House for, it is the uptick in feminist rage literature. I suppose credit where credit is due. Because we’ve been mad, I’ve been angry my whole damn life, but it’s just now I’m finding books that mirror my own simmering […]

A Chorus of Dragons, Series Review

The Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons

The Name of All Things by Jenn Lyons

The Memory of Souls by Jenn Lyons

The House of Always by Jenn Lyons

The Discord of Gods by Jenn Lyons

May 1, 2023 by Owlizabeth 4 Comments

How epic do you like your fantasy? Do you need world-ending battles between gods and demons? Do you love dragons and wizards? Vampires and zombies and shapeshifters? Magic swords and magic stones? How about pirates and kraken? Maybe some political intrigue and betrayal?? Well, buddy, have I got the series for you! I seriously feel like Stefon when I talk about this series, because these books have everything. Also, it’s told in varying timelines, by various narrators, under the conceit that these chronicles have been […]

Have a cup of tea? Don’t mind if I have three

The Tea Dagon Society Book One by K. O’Neill

The Tea Dragon Festival #2 by K. O’Neill

The Tea Dragon Tapestry (Tea Dragon, #3) by K. O’Neill

March 17, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I have the goal of reading all of K. O’Neill’s works. It has been a little tricky as they have gone by at least Kate O’Neill and Kay O’Neill as well. But with the finishing of the third book in the Tea Dragon Society series, I might have made it. This is a big deal as (until a few years ago when posthumously her second book came out) Harper Lee might have been the only author with that honor. I came to The Tea Dagon […]

Get the tacos!

Dragons Love Tacos 2: The Sequel by Adam Rubin

March 8, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I remember reading, and liking, Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin. However, as I was reading Dragons Love Tacos 2: The Sequel (still by Rubin) I did not remember a ding-darn thing! And while you can read these two books separately, it does help if you know the first book as there are a few things referenced in book two that are “need to knows.” This time dragons are not eating tacos, as they have run out of tacos. And it is up to them, […]
