Book Review: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

Well, we’re back in the arena friends. It’s been ten years, but we finally have the prequel Suzanne Collins promised us. I’ve been reading quite a bit here during the pandemic – after finishing my MBA it’s been a whole new world opened up to me – I don’t even know what TV is anymore (JK, I have some feels on a lot of TV right now too)! But for all the books I’ve been reading, and believe me, I’ve had thoughts on them, nothing hit me quite as hard as The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

Book Review: Lady Smoke

Book two of the Ash Princess series starts us off on the Smoke - notorious pirate Dragonbane's legendary ship. Princess Theodosia and her rag tag group have successfully escaped Astrea, but not quite as smoothly or as to plan as they’d hope. This sequel takes them on their next steps in the long journey towards reclaiming her throne, and getting their country back.
