Like, the main female protagonist has to cook spaghetti because they boys can’t figure it out. So please use caution before going into this book.Īnd there are a lot of weird gender role expectations in this book, too. I wanted something fast paced, with an addicting story, and maybe some sexy times, and Paper Princess was the perfect pick for me.īy looking at some of my friends’ reviews I feel like I really need to say that this is not a YA book in the slightest! This is NA and has a lot of sexual scenes that should only be read by mature audiences! This has many erotic scenes and for sure should have a sexual content warning.Īs for trigger warnings: losing a parent, underage sexual content (17), physical abuse, sexual assault, attempted rape, underage drinking, drug use, addiction, a lot of slut shaming, and a lot of toxic male masculinity. I was having a rough two days mental health wise, so I just wanted to drop everything on my TBR and read something I didn’t really have to think about, but I knew I’d probably enjoy. ![]()

![]() ![]() The Legacy Run, a cargo and passenger ship, speeds through hyperspace and, while attempting to avoid a collision with an unexpected obstacle, shatters into many pieces. Interference by the villainous pirate group known as the Nihil creates a catastrophic hyperspace event called "The Great Disaster," which places the Jedi and the planets they protect in danger. The story introduces several powerful Jedi during a time of galactic peace, termed "The High Republic," as they prepare to launch the Starlight Beacon, a massive space station which will aid communication between distant worlds. ![]() It was followed by a sequel, The Rising Storm. ![]() The novel was written by Charles Soule, and is set approximately 200 years before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Star Wars: The High Republic: Light of the Jedi is the first novel of the Star Wars: The High Republic multi-media project launched in 2021. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() My Thoughts:Īre you curious about the first female nurses in the U.S.? ![]() In this story, sunflowers are a symbol that slaves used to warn each other of danger. Sunflower Sisters describes Civil War experiences and plantation life, and it includes family drama. Jemma has a sister, Patience, who remains enslaved on the plantation next door. She crosses paths with Jemma, a young girl who was enslaved, sold off, ran away, and was conscripted into the army. In Sunflower Sisters, Georgeanna Woolsey, a great aunt of Caroline Ferriday, is a Union nurse at a time when the medical field was dominated by men. I think Sunflower Sisters is my favorite of the three. All the stories in the trilogy can be read as stand alones. First, Lilac Girls is set during WW11 and features heroine Caroline Ferriday next, Lost Roses, a prequel to Lilac Girls, features Caroline’s mother, Eliza Ferriday, and is set in the pre-WW1 era finally, Sunflower Sisters is the prequel to Lost Roses and is set during the Civil War. Third in the “Flowers Trilogy” (as I affectionately think of them), Sunflower Sisters precedes Lilac Girls and Lost Roses in a historical timeline and altogether the three books involve three wars. Thanks, #NetGalley for my complimentary e ARC of #SunflowerSisters upon my request. *This post contains Amazon affiliate links.
