Mini Mention Monday: Mini Review

Mini Mention Monday

This is a new bookish meme I have created which involves a tiny review, callback to a favourite series or a mention of what you are looking forward too on your TBR! This is a chance to highlight things that are mini and not quite big enough to usually get their own post/video especially our favourite novellas/short stories.

This week’s Mini Mention Monday is… A Fellowship of Games and Fables!

This is the third book in the Adrenshire series (the fourth is coming out this November!) and it was just as adorable a cosy fantasy as the others. 

Jez the fennex is a character that we meet in the other books and I wasn’t quite sure I would have the emotional connection to her that I did with the last two heroines but I absolutely did! 

I really enjoyed the exploration of how Jez and her family had grown so distant from familiaral expectations but also how she grew to be able to look back on her past with more than shame and guilt. 

This centres around the Yule Games (making this a great Christmas/wintertime read!) and the romance between Taeyna and Jez is just adorable!

This weeks Mini Mention is….A Fellowship of Librarians and Dragons!

Just so adorable! 

I loved Doli from the last book and peeling back the happy always glowing mask that she wore in the first book and allowing the reader to see that she was dealing with her own insecurities underneath was so nice to read. 

Saxon her gargoyle was just so adorable – who doesn’t need a librarian book boyfriend who has shelves full of dragon books??? 

And there were dragons! An adorable little baby dragon that ensnared my heart from page one and I was 1000% in for the ride! 

Also! At the end the author includes several recipes to make the delicious cakes and food eaten by the characters so if you find yourself starving reading a fantasy diet of cakes and buttercream just flip to the back!

This weeks mini mention is… the Fellowship of Bakers and Magic by J Penner 

The essence of the cosy fantasy genre! Warmth just beams through this cosy tale set in a fantasy world full of different races of magical people – humans, elves, fennexes, dwarves, orcs and a few more obscure ones too! 

Following Arleta a human who had been struggling against the prejudices the market overseer Mr Figlet to sell her baked goods at even half of their worth was really enjoyable, she was full of spirit and yet vulnerable at the same time! 

The plot is centred around a great British bake off competition and lots of delectably described sweet treat!

So grab a few sweets and a warm drink and settle down for the good vibes and a heartwarming romance!
