OMG the tension! I know from experience that Duncan can kill off his Blades and now they‘re going into a parallel Russia where a despot Czar rules and his son, who‘s even worse, is just waiting to take over. The Czarina and her sister, betrothed to the King of Chivial, live on a knife‘s edge

Coronets and Steel | Sherwood Smith
post image

I like Smith‘s Sartorias-deles series and was recommended this series. I recently read ‘Prisoner of Zenda‘ 💔and I really enjoyed Smith‘s ‘Crown & Court‘. I‘m I the mood for a fantasy with a (clean) romance so this is my first pick for the year. Nearly halfway through and enjoying it.
Kim is in Europe trying to solve the family mystery of where her mum and gran came from. She‘s mistaken for missing royalty and finds answers - and more questions

humouress Very much based (and acknowledged) on ‘P of Z‘, down to the nickname of the missing royalty: Ruli (short for Aurelia) instead of Rudy (edited) 3mo

Captain Alatriste | Arturo Perez-Reverte

Pickpick

I decided to read this historical fiction novel set in 1623 Madrid while I was visiting the city on my recent vacation. The photos are all from the Royal Palace.

I really enjoyed this fast-paced adventure story, filled with interesting historical details and likable characters, and I've put the next book in the series on my TBR.

17th century Spanish swashbucklers. I love this series. Anyone else read this series or other Perez-Reverte? #adventrecommends

MaureenMc I haven‘t read this one, but I loved The Club Dumas and The Flanders Panel. (I really need to read more of him.) 1y
