Book review: The Malevolent's Mark

This book is a story of 1921 historical kingdom of Camelot where Birdie Smith lives as a thief trying to make a new life for herself after losing her memories. The magic system is slowly introduced in a way that makes it easy to comprehend, yet complex and intriguing enough to make for a great story!

Birdie is a siren and a thief, which suits her just fine. But when she's forced into a marriage she doesn't want, everything goes wrong. She steals from the wrong man: Sir Gawain, and finds herself dragged into a quest to find a sword if she wants to clear her name. As the past she's forgotten rises to the surface, including someone capable of controlling her through a mark, she will have to understand who she is and what she stands for if she wants to survive the journey...

When characters from her forgotten past start to catch up with Birdie Smith, she finds herself torn between two sides of a fight to save her kingdom. struggling with her lost memories to decipher whom she can trust, Birdie is rediscovering who she is and trying not to let her heart lead her astray in this unique twist with a unique mix of futuristic and historical settings.

In addition to the overriding theme of history’s wheel-like pattern, Ripley'touches on different emotions such as trust, love, friendship and the right to life. This is a towering science fiction work, but Ripley’s messages are deftly delivered behind a humorous, engaging future.

I highly recommend this epic fantasy story full of plot-twists that will blow your mind! If you love adventure, love triangles, and magical worlds this book is for you!

Happy Reading!

Any thoughts, or have you ever tried to tame any animal? I remember watching circus shows organised once a year in the city's open area for all the locals to enjoy.

I had heard about meditation and its techniques to apply in your daily routine, but when I stumbled upon this book, my myths w...
