Heroes: The Greek Myths Reimagined (Stephen Fry’s Great Mythology #2) by Stephen Fry
Though the lightheartedness of the narrative does not align with my personal sense of humour, I really appreciate Fry’s attempt in making the stories simple and funny.

Soldier of Dorsa (The Chronicles of Dorsa #2) by Eliza Andrews
I am definitely biased because I adore Princess of Dorsa.
While Soldier of Dorsa did not grasp my heart as much as the first book did, I still enjoyed it very much. There were times I was so scared for Tasia and Joslyn that I dared not continue reading. But I pushed myself to read on because the suspense of not reading was killing me anyway. The overall plot was very good despite some flow disruptions due to multiple flashbacks and alternations between Tasia’s and Joslyn’s storylines. The pacing was also a bit too fast towards the end as even more things were happening at the same time. I figure the story would flow amazingly if adapted to screen.
Just Three Words (Soho Loft #2) by Melissa Brayden
Of late, I’ve been reading a lot of wlw (women-loving-women) romance novels. Approximately 1-book-per-day kind of “a lot” for a month straight. Or not so straight. Must be a quarter-life crisis thing since I pretty much never read romance in the past. I have yet to read one fall-in-love-with-best-friend story. Until now.
Princess of Dorsa (The Chronicles of Dorsa #1) by Eliza Andrews
A book that leaves me a puddle from my own sheer emotion is always a good book.
I haven’t read fantasy in a couple of months and Princess of Dorsa has made me want to find all the fantasy books with strong, queer, female leads and read them. While I would not say it is perfectly written (an example, and sole example to date, of a perfectly written fantasy is Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn), the overall story is amazing and I love it for igniting all kinds of emotions within me.
