Rating: 5🌈

Finale time! And Steve’s gonna be a whole new dragon! Well, long dead and a skeleton one at that! But happy happy!

And that madcap murderous fabulous family of sorcerers and a King will adopt another into the fold.

And there’s many weddings!

Sherwood has written a warmhearted, if somewhat murderous tale of adventure, love, magic, and family. It’s been a wild and humorous journey. A absolute pleasure to read, a joy to have ventured into with along with the characters.

Will we see Tan, Devan, the kids, and the rest of the ever enlarging family? Sherwood doesn’t know. But I hope so. They have caught our attention and our hearts. That life and vivacity surely won’t be denied. Stay tuned!

Love these covers.

Review: How I Took the King on a Bone-a-Fide Quest of Piracy, Piemu, and Profit: Bone 5 (How I Stole the Princess’s White Knight and Turned him to Villainy Book 11 by A.J. Sherwood

Rating : 4.5🌈

It’s the penultimate story and we have incredibly idiotic large emu-like demons ahead. Plus equally dense academia to mess with.

This means our family of sorcerers , young budding sorcerers included, have a blast, we find out what a Piemu is, and Steve is that much closer to being a whole skeleton.

I sort of missed him here. And the skelebabies in action. They are so adorable and great fun.

One more installment to go. I can’t wait. I do wish we’d found out what Tan had done when he was lingering on campus. Whatever it was, they deserved it.

Love these covers.

Review: How I Took the King on a Bone-a-Fide Quest of Piracy, Piemu, and Profit: Bone 4 (Villainy, #10) by A. J. Sherwood

Rating: 4.5🌈

When last we left our gang of magical adventurers, they had sighted another piece of Steve’s skeleton! It was hoisted on a pirate‘s ship sail and looking like another tough job to obtain it. At least without burning it to the bottom of the sea.

No fireballs sadly.

Tan, Devan , Niran, and the kids and one anxious sentient dragon skull, Steve, are off on another high seas adventure! This time with pirates, spells, and magical lunacy that may or may not include wedding planning at the end!

It’s out of control, fabulous fun! Devan just tries for the minimum of damage , hoping for the best outcome as Tan, Niran and the kids plot to obtain a dragon wing!

Of course, it’s a fantastic story, great ending, new friends, and onto the next bone discovery!

What an epic adventure this has become!

Can’t wait for the next one to be released!

Love these covers.

Review: How I Took the King on a Bone-a-Fide Quest of Piracy, Piemu, and Profit: Bone 3 (Villainy, #9) by A. J. Sherwood

Rating: 5🌈

When a story contains the phrase “For Bone Daddy” and its uttered by a army of skelebabies in the middle of a rollicking bone rattling battle, well, you just know the book is going to be epic.

For all its short length, Sherwood packs a ton of high quality action, snarky humor, dubious necromancer goings on, and an ever- widening search for the bones of a sentient skeleton dragon called Steve.

I’m so committed to this series and found family of absolutely glorious people, young sorcerers in training in tow included. It’s hilarious, sexy, stunning and entertaining on every level.

I can’t wait for the pirates.

Dive into the series right at the beginning and then follow along. It’s all fabulous.

Love these covers.

Review: How I Took the King on a Bone-a-Fide Quest of Piracy, Piemu and Profit : Bone 2 (How I Stole the Princess’s White Knight and Turned him to Villainy Book 8) by A. J. Sherwood

Rating: 4.5🌈

Need a smile? A absolutely feel happy to the , well , bones , reading experience? Look no further than A. J. Sherwood’s latest serialized book, How I Took the King on a Bone-a-Fide Quest of Piracy, Piemu and Profit : Bone 2 (How I Stole the Princess’s White Knight and Turned him to Villainy.

Now on chapter 8, the epic adventure is really about to start, especially since Tan, his necromancer brother Niran, and Devan, have accepted that their tiny charges, the powerful budding sorcerers-in-training, Lesia and Zi Rui, are coming with them.

That together, with a chatty sentient dragon skull, Steve, in search of his bone body. And barbarians everywhere! And it’s fabulous and funny! With fireballs.

And always over way too soon. But that’s the way of serialized fiction. It’s a quick, addictive tasty morsel that leaves you happy with the bite you had and wanting more. As this one does.

Bring on chapter 9!!!!

Love these covers.

Review: How I Took the King on a Bone-a-Fide Quest of Piracy, Piemu, and Profit: Bone 1 (How I Stole the Princess’s White Knight and Turned him to Villainy Book 7) by A.J. Sherwood

Rating: 5🌈

In 52 pages, Sherwood fantastically opens up an entire new world of magical creatures, humorously giving us a newly enlarged found family of sorcerers, a talking dragon skull who has a name that has me giggling, and begins a mysterious adventure that will take 7 chapters to complete.

To my delight, there’s two very young apprentices that have been added to Tan and Devan’s odd little family. Zi Rui, who got his own story, and the very sassy little girl who matches her own way into the mix and our hearts, Lesia.

The dynamics and dialogue is funny, heartwarming no matter how alarming Tan might find that, and makes this story fly by all too quickly.

Especially since Sherwood delivers a sentient dragon skull and a gleeful Niran who ,along with his skelebabies , is willingly heading with them into the northern lands for magical adventures!

I can’t wait for the next episode to come out!

It’s highly anticipated and another great recommendation!

Love these covers.
