Sweet Black Waves | Kristina Pérez
23 posts | 18 read | 42 to read
Not you without me, not me without you. Two proud kingdoms stand on opposite shores, with only a bloody history between them. As best friend and lady-in-waiting to the princess, Branwen is guided by two principles: devotion to her homeland and hatred for the raiders who killed her parents. When she unknowingly saves the life of her enemy, he awakens her ancient healing magic and opens her heart. Branwen begins to dream of peace, but the princess she serves is not so easily convinced. Fighting for what's right, even as her powers grow, will set Branwen against her best friend and the only man she's ever loved. Inspired by the legend of Tristan and Eseult, this is the story of the legend’s true heroine. For fans of Graceling and The Mists of Avalon, this is the first book of a lush fantasy trilogy about warring countries, family secrets, and forbidden romance. An Imprint Book

Now on the flipside, I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would! An interesting retelling with a strong main character, fantasy, political intrigue, and romantic drama. The last 20% of the book made it a four star read for me and I‘ll definitely pick up the next in the trilogy.

This was my July #doublespin

#weeklyforecast:

I finally picked up my July #doublespin today-which means I‘m in the middle of three books again! But it‘s nice to have a variety.

I‘ll be focusing on my current three reads this week, and finalizing my list for #bookspinbingo.

Essy got on my nerves a bit, but this was very enjoyable and heartbreaking.

I won this beauty in a giveaway from the author herself last week, and I got it a few days ago, signed and personalized, which is so lovely!

I just finished my two main reads so I‘m starting this now, it‘s been on my wishlist since before publication!
I have just read the Dramatis Personae and I won‘t lie, my head is spinning a little... bit I‘m still very excited to read it! 😊

I freaking adored this book. It‘s so so good. Based on the classic tale of Tristan and Esolte Sweet Black Waves is a fantastic fantasy novel with romance as a major factor of the story. I loved that and loved this amazing book. I cannot wait for book 2. I needs is now!!! #ya #fantasy

I‘m about halfway through this incredible, romantic retelling of Tristan and Isoelt. I am absolutely loving it, it‘s fantastic but also slightly terrified as I know how badly this tale always ends. #amreading #ya #fantasy
