Absolutely LOVE the dysfunctional royal Smythe-Farmerson family.

Gemma was a character in the previous book who got plenty of airtime. In this book, she’s trying to discover what Beatrix her sister is up to. Beatrix has a mad thirst for power. At the end of the book, the crazy queen of the adjacent lands shows up. There’s a fight with a dragon in the first book, and at the end of the second book we get to see the dragons again.

Gemma Smythe is a war monk. She left the monastery when her sister Keeley became queen and needed her help. Gemma is now finding allies to help them defeat their other sister Beatrix who is also a queen. This is an action packed story with adventure and bloody battles they must fight. Battles that must be won if they are to defeat their sister Beatrix. There are a lot of interesting side characters in this book. Many who readers first met in the first book. This is the second book in the Scarred Earth Saga fantasy. I did not read the first book in the series. It took me a few chapters to get interested in the book and to care about what was happening. Once I became hooked the book was quite good. I really enjoyed Ainsley who is Gemma’s younger sister. She is so full of energy and has lots of potential. Hopefully she gets her own book. Quinn, a shapeshifting centaur, has an interesting sense of humor. Quinn and Gemma banter back and forth constantly. They fight enemies together and have each other’s back. They like to give each other a hard time. They are not your typical romantic couple but they are good together. I will read the first book to understand how Keeley became the prophesied Blacksmith Queen. I look forward to reading the next book in this series. I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

I love this author. I love this story. AND I LOVE THAT THEY ARE BRING THE DRAGONS BACK IN

This series keeps me sane, the wit and the adventure and chaotic energy all in one is amazing. Sometimes I feel like when I read these books I can see the story as if I were in it. Please tell me the next book is on the way.

OMG OMG OMG. I have never been so excited about a series like this one. It was a great read. I can hardly wait for the next book to come out even though I know I have to wait for a while I am super excited.

Once again this author has brought us a wildly entertaining story in The Princess Knight. I don't think I have laughed more than I did in this book, even in the mist of some really bloody scenes. These characters are brutal, and hilarious! This is not a standalone book. You do need to read the first one to really know what's going on and what's motivating these characters as they wage war against some evil characters. The main focus is on a different couple, but the overall story continues from the first book. We see the same recurring characters as well as some very interesting new ones. I feel there is no need for a further description. If you read and loved book one, you are going to love book 2. It has the same feel without feeling repetitive. It completely drew me and made it hard to stop reading when I needed to return to real life, and the way this ended has me so excited for the next book in the series. I feel like my love of this series grew with book two and will continue to grow. I'm just really excited to see what will happen next!
