Song of Blood & Stone by L. Penelope: Review

 

WOW!!!!  I received this book through Goodreads.com Giveaways. 

When I first received this book I was mildly excited.  However, as I read the book my excitement grew and grew.  I was unable to put this book down.  The world that this book created is one of oppression, and war.  I was swept away into a battle of whats right and wrong, loving and hating, and Anger and sadness.  This was a book that had me soo angry at the main characters several times, because I wanted them to do better and be better.  I wanted them to make decisions that were not made....But!!!! The decisions they did make made this story greater!!

I have fallen in love with the way the L. Penelope was able to create Jasminda.  She is strong in her own right, but very weak in aspects.  I thoroughly enjoyed growing with Jasminda through this story.

L.Penelope is an Amazing Author with the power to make you feel true emotions about her characters, and truly have a sense of what it would be like to be them. 

If you want to read a book that is going to drawl you in, hold you hostage, and not let go until its over..... this is the book for you!!  Magic, myth, mind games, palace intrigue, and steamy (oh my is it steamy) romance..... what more could you possibly want in a book!!! 

Lastly I ask all of you reading this to flood the publisher with comments such as:  "we need the next one ASAP!!"  If you love magic, history, myths, romance and adventure.... you will love this book!!!

Rating............. 4/5 paws !!!!!
