A delightful, fast-paced fantasy read with characters (non-magical) you would want as IRL friends. I did not know what to expect as I haven‘t read Brother Grimm‘s Goose Girl, but there‘s quite a number of heroic geese in this one!
Fantasy isn‘t my top genre, but I‘d recommend this one to start with for sure!

This retelling of 'Romeo & Juliet' had a great deal of promise & it looked like an intriguing read. Unfortunately it didn't quite work. Most of the characters were quite flat including Romeo, whose whole personality was his being in love with Juliet.

Runajo & Juliet were by far the more interesting storyline but even there I don't think the full potential was utilised. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf There were also sporadic chapters back in time at Romeo & Juliet's first meeting but no indication was given at the start of the chapter so it was a bit confusing the first couple of times. I'm not sure I'm invested enough to bother with the second book. 3⭐

TW: Blood.

Two knights with different world views are enemies in real life and friends and partners in a popular role playing game. There is a lot to take in but it was a fun way to receive it.

The Children of Jocasta | Natalie Haynes

I don‘t usually like Greek myth retellings, though I‘ve had some luck with some of Haynes‘s books and I liked this one, too. I didn‘t read the description and actually didn‘t realize who Jocasta was until about halfway through, which was fun.
