    techfashion0315's book review was featured in The Scarlet Pimpernel.
    “’The Scarlet Pimpernel, Mademoiselle,’ he said at last, ‘is the name of a humble English wayside flower; but it is also the name chosen to hide the identity of the best and bravest man in all the world, so that he may better succeed in accomplishing the noble task he has set himself to do.’” The year is 1792, and France is in turmoil. Blood soaks the cobblestone streets, and the guillotine waits for its next victim. Fear, suspicion, and chaos fill the air, and even the smallest misstep can lead to death. But in England stands one man — elusive, mysterious, and daring — who risks everything to save the lives of those condemned by the guillotine. Hidden behind a clever pseudonym, his true identity is known only to his most loyal followers, keeping everyone guessing, even those closest to him. Each rescue is a high-stakes gamble, a dangerous dance with fate, and the tension practically leaps off the page. I originally read The Scarlet Pimpernel because it was required for school. I didn’t expect to enjoy it; I just wanted to get through it. But WOW, I was completely blown away! I absolutely loved this book. The characters are phenomenal: Marguerite’s bravery, intelligence, and quick wit; Sir Percy’s charm, humor, and clever daring; and Chauvelin’s cunning, relentless pursuit that keeps the suspense taut. Each character is fully realized and brings the story to life, making every moment feel alive and urgent. Orczy masterfully hooks the reader, teasing emotions, building suspense, and delivering adventure that you can’t help but get swept up in. For those who enjoy romance alongside action, Orczy delivers a heartwarming, tear-jerking subplot: the tense, passionate love story between Sir Percy and Marguerite. Their love is complicated, full of pride, misunderstanding, and longing, but it is also beautiful and deeply human. Rich with vivid imagery, the book transports readers to another time, immersing them in the danger, elegance, and social intricacies of both revolutionary France and England. Every mission feels perilous, every moment is charged with risk, and the thrills keep coming until the very last page. Beyond the adventure and romance, the book also gives readers a glimpse into history, showing the fear, cruelty, and bravery of the era. Orczy makes the past feel tangible, illustrating how one small mistake could cost not only a life but an entire family. And yet, amidst the peril, she reminds us of humanity — of loyalty, courage, love, and sacrifice — qualities that feel timeless and relevant even today. I strongly recommend this book! Though written in 1905, it is packed with relevance for modern readers, full of complex characters, clever plots, daring adventures, and moments that will make your heart race and your emotions soar. The Scarlet Pimpernel is a book that will thrill, touch, and stay with you long after you turn the last page. Happy reading!

    deafgirlhistory's book review was featured in The Woman Who Rides Like a Man (The Song of the Lioness).
    Finally, another adventure waiting for you with Alanna as new obstacles and challenges coming right up for Alanna herself. More rivalry happening, same with the dueling. Now a knight herself, Alanna sets out to Bzhair (or different ways to spell, sorry if I spelled that wrong). Deaths, fights, and people turning their backs on you were common but yet so difficult to experience. - Happy Reading!
