E.G. Radcliff- The Last Prince

Genre: YA/Fantasy 4 Stars Great Read What a good story in The Last Prince by E.G. Radcliff. This is the second book in The Coming of Aed book series. I've read the one before this one, The Hidden King and really liked it. I believe that all books in a series, when possible, should be read, and in order. However, I have read books in a series out of order. This one has been in order. The first one, I was introduced to Aed, and what incredible things were going on in his life,

Leoni Rogers- Amethyst Pledge

Genre: YA/Fantasy 4 Stars A Great Read What a great story in Amethyst Pledge by Leoni Rogers. This is the first book of this author's that I've read, and I enjoyed reading it. This is also the first book in the Albatar Chronicles series. A fantastical young adult fantasy, that adults of all ages would enjoy. Kazari is a very unique character, and what I like best is that she doesn't want the role in which, she, as a woman, a Lady, is placed. There are a lot of pieces in this
