Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Tear Down The Throne by Jennifer Estep



This was a little more romance than I expected.   Gemma and Leo are stuck circling their internal wagons.  Morta and Andvari are still mortal rivals.  Treachery continues to abound.   An annual summit for trade provides the setting for the tale.

Being of advanced age and occasional user of the f-word, I was still not thrilled to see it used in the book, at least three different times.  It doesn’t seem necessary and despite widespread use, still grated on me. 

Gemma’s continuous denial of affection and caustic introspection became tiresome and seemed more like just adding to the word count. 

I enjoyed the addition of the baby strix and how Grimley reacted.

The book was entertaining despite my normal reserve about romantic novels.
