MY REVIEW
The Book of Genevieve by Mark Boyd is the second of A Dragon’s Tale Trilogy. I loved the first one, so I was very happy to continue the journey with Genevieve. Because this is the second book of the series and there is so much wonderful fantasy in store for you, I do not want to give anything away. I will just tell you how I felt as I read along
I couldn’t help but smile when Mark states that all Genevieve wanted were breasts and a normal life. BUT, there is a Prophecy to be fulfilled and she is part of it.
We have elves, Pegasaurs, dragons, demons, vampires, werehounds, trolls, dwarves and two brothers that I fell in love with, Aer and Loer.
I loved when Genevieve and Leto showcased their swordplay, the crowd wildly cheering them on. I could see it like a film playing in my mind. So much fun…as is her first ride on her dragon, soaring, swooping, loop-de-looping, laughing all the way.
I got lost in their fantasy world of new friendships and new alliances. The more characters I met, the more friends I made. Some are rough and gruff, some are easy going, some are young, some are old.
The magical creatures are drawn together to fulfill the Prophecy. Some will die, especially sad about the one, but as some pass on, new babes are born.
I can hardly wait to learn the ending of this does not stand alone trilogy in Mishmakor, The Dragon King.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Book of Genevieve by Mark Boyd.

GOODREADS BLURB
In the course of one days time, Princess Genevieve Cheval discovers that her ears are starting to point, that she is really the daughter of an Elven Princess that died giving birth to her and that she has inherited the only weapon that can kill the evil beast overtaking the forbidden forest…which also happens to be the step-brother she never knew she had.
Drawn into the forbidden forest by a mysterious dream, Genevieve is led to Queen Bellaserena of the Pegasaurs by two young elven brothers. She discovers the Queen is with foal and due at any moment. Delivering the young one, Genevieve saves the life of the Queen and her son with the weapon she’d inherited from her dead mother.
Bellaserena informs Genevieve that the young Princess is destined to a power and a life greater than she’d ever imagined. Now, not only seeking her elven family of origin, she finds out that she is an integral part of the Prophecy as told in the ancient Dragon Book of Lore. Embroiled in battle to save the forest and her elven kinsmen from the bloodvine, she soon discovers there is an ancient evil set to destroy her and the man she loves, King Leto Sargovia. Aware that this is a battle to the death, she is ready to commit to any action that will allow the Prophecy to manifest.

Glad to introduce you to Mark Boyd. I am lovin’ this series and the great covers.
Oh wow! This series sounds so fun, Sherry! Thanks for sharing your review.
This is one of those books I never would have found if I wasn’t blogging. Thanks for getting me into something that is proving to be addictive. 🙂
Very King Arthur-ish, and I’ve always been obsessed with The Once and Future King. Love the cover. Just beautiful.
This series has been a wonderful surprise for me. I don’t read a lot of ‘regal’ stories, but I am sure hooked on this one. And, I’m a sucker for fabulous covers.
Looks like you are really enjoying this world and characters!
I sure am. I want more of it. 🙂
I don’r read much high fantasy. Too complex for me 😉 but I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I don’t read a lot of it either, but sometimes I need a break from all the killing that I love so much. They start to run together and I need a change of pace. This was a great one!
