The Flipped Page

The Masked Baron Romance, clean, period; This was a clever retelling of the Beauty and the Beast story. Andalin/Annie and Ellison/Ellis (the Dark Rider)'s story is a clever re-imagining of the Beauty and the Beast story without the magical elements although they are hinted at in the novel. My only wish for this was a bit more coherence and could have used just a bit more editing to get the story to intensify and help you engage a bit more. The premise, story line/plot, setting, characters, and all were good though, and the novel was well-done other than that bit of intensity that makes me want to re-read, savor details and race to the finish of the novel (the all-nighter kind of read). Still a fun re-imagining, and I hope to read more by this author as she finds her voice more.

The Navigator The Navigator (Tales of the Wendy Book 2)     Clean Read; re-imagining of the Peter Pan story told from Wendy Darlings point of view I have to confess, I am late getting this review up, but this was a gorgeous re-telling of the Peter Pan story from a dynamic, adventurous, determined, couragous Wendy Darling. I haven't read the first book in this series, but was able to read this and enjoy this without doing so. However, that being said, I will go back and read it to get the beginning at some point. This is an adventurous, fantastically detailed visit to Neverland, with the main characters you know and love, but from Wendy's courageously brave and determined point of view. She is a strong character, the setting is detailed and fantastically imagined, and the battles, worries, adventures and journey that they go on while tracking Blackheart's ship was intense, fantastical, and so well described! I am ready for the next adventure in this series!
