A valuable history textbook

Revisado: 01-26-23

I tend to prefer more concept or narrative, driven books, and while this text contains elements of both, it is primarily a history textbook. It contains an element of that dry name and date-based style that turns a lot of people off of history early in their education. It’s a good book, it just wasn’t what I was looking for precisely at the time.

A story worth savoring

Revisado: 10-09-22

Exquisite world building interwoven among intricate and elegant plots and subplots, I lost two days reading this book. Never before have I found a romance so relatable. Unlike most stories, its existence did not feel like a stale requirement shoehorned in for the sake of crowdpleasing, but featured characters who maintained their own senses of self, goals and boundaries, yet or perfectly in tune with each other in a truly magical way. My only complaint was that the pacing of the end was a little odd, but the author managed to deliver on several subverted expectations.

Definitely will read more than once

Revisado: 08-25-22

I’ve been a fan of the authors podcast, Before Breakfast, for a little over a year now. I don’t know why it took me this long to figure out and find books she had written, but I’m so glad I finally did. The first read through gives you a great comprehensive overview of all of her time management Theories and tips. I expect the second read through, when I’ve had some time to absorb her ideas, will help me put more of them into practice. Like Laura, I no longer believe I have to sacrifice joy in order to have a full career and thriving family. I know how she does it, too.

Hilarious and relaxing and inspiring

The only improvement I could suggest for this book would be a short glossary of botanical terms, such as those used to describe the shape of leaves. Other than that, I truly enjoyed this book. I learned a lot, laughed a lot, and would definitely book a foraging tour with the author if I got the chance.

Everything you could ever want from a memoir

Revisado: 08-23-22

I had read the authors novel a couple years ago and loved it. Intrigued by this new title, I expected another novel. I have it often read memoirs, but once I started this one I couldn’t put it down. I wasn’t disappointed by my mistake, but so much more intrigued and inspired because of it. The author has a gift for storytelling, whether it’s a work of fiction or reminiscences of incredible lives. Her lyrical prose draws you in, her narrative style presents a beautiful world full of its imperfections and opportunities that I now long to visit for myself.

A good, relaxing read

Revisado: 07-27-22

It’s often said that second books in series aren’t very good, just bits you have to get through to get to the next good book. This does not hold true for arrows flight. It’s typical Mercedes Lackey, witty and lyrical. On a personal note, I wish there weren’t as many sex scenes, but they are not embarrassingly graphic. It’s a sweet adventure with likable characters and a comfortable, satisfying arc.
