Firethorn Chronicles book 4
by Lea Doue
| -From Goodreads- A lingering curse. A man with a secret. A princess with a plan. Fed up with meddling sorcerers, Princess Neylan journeys to a distant kingdom to break a beastly curse. Master Healer Keir, who captured her heart through his letters, is relying on her to end his nightly shift into the form of a giant dragon. Armed with a bold plan, Neylan vows that sorcery will never again touch his life, or the lives of her eleven sisters. But true love's kiss fails, leaving Keir trapped in a cycle of agonizing transformations. When an unexpected ally reveals himself and offers a risky solution, Neylan must make an irreversible choice that will either give her the knowledge she seeks, or else trap her in the same type of snare she's trying to destroy. Fantasy, romance, and adventure combine in the fairytale-inspired Firethorn Chronicles, an interconnected series of stand-alone novels drawn from The Twelve Dancing Princesses. Follow the sisters on their journeys in a land where sorcery is feared and dragons fly. ASIN: B07TWNRXRP Is she the one who will break his curse? |  This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating.

It's been quite awhile since I read book one in the Firethorn Chronicles, and as of yet I haven't had the chance to read the next two, so I will admit it took me a little bit to get back into the story. But, then I got caught up in Lea Doue's charming writing style, fell in love with a little dragon who likes ride on very special people's shoulders and heads, became absorbed in Neylan's tale and Keir's plight, and was entirely swept away in The Moonflower Dance.
As someone who left the YA age range, well, a year or two ago anyway, behind, I'm always pleased when I find a book or author who appeals to me now just as much as they would have when I was a teen. Lea Doue does this masterfully. She creates vivid storyworlds that seem almost as real as the room in front of me, her characters are engaging and entertaining, and the stories themselves are full of adventure and romance.
While I probably should have read the previous two books, The Moonflower Dance was still a very good read. I enjoyed myself immensely and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone who loves fantasy and fairytales. The biggest problem is...now I have to waaaiiit for the next book!
