The Curse of the Dark Horseman by Kristina Stangl | Book review

Book review:

"The Curse of the Dark Horsemen"  is a superb mix of sentiment and dream. It will without a doubt captivate readers who value a very much-turned fantasy with a hint of secret, leaving them enthusiastically turning the pages to find on the off chance that affection can genuinely overcome all.

The story begins with the protagonist Kassie looking at the painting of Dark Horseman. Her longing for such a handsome man grows more and more. Looking at her increasing interest in the painting, her grandmother discloses the secret of the painting. Kassie gets to know about the curse which was spelt on this handsome man, Lord Henry, heir of Galloway Manor. Her grandmother advised her to marry Walter rather than look for Henry as no one knows how his curse will be finished.

Although he was only a legend, Kassie still secretly wished to meet him. Even if it was only limited to merely her own dreams; for truly, she desperately longed to see him. To speak to him. To touch him. To kiss him. Ah, yes, Kassie was extremely attracted to the man, whose portrait hung above the walls of her family’s estate. If only it could be…

It is intriguing to read about how Kassie's destiny takes her to the woods just before her wedding ceremony. She is lost in the woods running from the wolf. There she accidently meets his dream man. However, might an eternal man and a human lady at any point have a blissful completion? Could their adoration at any point be the fix to a solid revile? Will Kassie, act as the missing connection to Henry's heart, whom he's stood by for so lengthy for? Could she at any point save him from an unending length of time of dejection and punishment? Will cherish overcome all, in a definitive closure of this dim and legendary fantasy?

Quote from the book that piqued me:
💓“Perhaps, but the mind is also a powerful force. What you believe, you often see. And what you hope, often comes to be,” said Maureen.

💓“Love is such a rarity, my dear. Not everyone experiences the same romantic love, as we read in stories. Sometimes, it’s far better to live a safe life, than to risk otherwise,” Maureen reflected. 

The author has meticulously weaved the storyline keeping a mystery element throughout. The characters are well plotted and the language is vivid and evocative. The plot's unexpected turns keep the story connected with, and the writer's engaging composition easily moves readers into the core of the captivated woods. The juxtaposition of the reviled godlike and the courageous human woman makes way for a convincing investigation of adoration's groundbreaking power.

Overall, the book is a must-read for admirers of sentiment and dream, offering a legendary sentiment, a striking setting, and convincing characters that wait in the creative mind. Energetically suggested for those looking for a new interpretation of exemplary fantasy components.

Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness by Deekay

 Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness for Combating Overthinking, Achieving Stress Relief, and Attaining Absolute Peace  Deekay | Book Review What is turbulence? 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. There I used to cherish the person who tamed the elephants or the lion (if any). But today I thought of taming my mind. Every second our thoughts are randomly moving and giving us goosebumps. Nowadays people have so many threads of work looming in their minds that they feel like completing but fail to prioritise. To dive into a river is not easy. But only a few people have the calibre to do that. The same is true with diving in your mind. This practice needs calmness of mind and anxiety levels to be very low. I had heard about meditation and its techniques to apply in your daily routine, but when I stumbled upon this book, my myths w...
