pickWhile I have been following Amelia Atwater-Rhodes since her very first book, I like the Kiesha'ra series the best out of all her books. A land of shapeshifters and magic.
The story begins with a war between two families, the Falcons and the Cobras. In later books, the Hawks and Wolfs will play key rolls.
A fantastic read.
The Kiesha'ra Series, Originally Reviewed, 2016 updated for Litsy, 2024.
pickI really liked this series. Its about a princess/prince from rivaling kingdoms. Who have been at war with one another for a long time, each killing off the others families till a few remain. One is a bird shifter the other snake shifters. The prince and the princess dont want anything to do with one another. However, they dont want anymore death and so they decide to see if they can come up with an agreement...that neither are too keen on lol.
pickCurrently giving all these a reread. One of my favorite authors.
#somethingforsept day 17: #womenwriters. This is a small cross section of the books I own that were written by women. I tagged The Shapeshifters because I still think about its plot every now and again. May have to read it again.

Teen High-Fantasy
Hawk Song, first book in the Kiesha'ra series.
Been years. I read this series as a teenager/young adult.
Deals with racism from the POV of a diverse world of shapeshifters.
If you read and liked, “Bride“ by Ali Hazelwood, you may like this series. (I will re-review the Bride book in a future post for this group).

The Half King was a huge surprise. It deals heavily with women discrimination.
There are some readers warnings. I almost didn't continue after the opening scene. Please read my previous review if you are a sensitive reader.
I'm glad I did continue, because this was a book with a powerful message.

The Spell Shop is a cozy read. The main focus of the storyline takes us away from the political drama of this world, instead we feel the struggles of the people who have lived under oppression...then see the first impact from a reforming government.

Murtagh was the first book I read from this series. It was incredible...and emotionally difficult.
There are some readers warnings. I had to skip past a few connecting scenes. Please read my previous review if you are a sensitive reader.
Murtagh and his Dragon Thorn survived and escaped an abusive King, who had kept them in compelled service (for years) by magic.

Every time I write Haiku, the similarities to Murtagh-Man's writings makes me smile.
