First of Tomes

The Tomes of Kaleria, Book 2

By: Honor Raconteur

Narrated by: Milly Sanders

Apparently, time-travel spells have a sense of humor and don’t take direction well. Mei Li could’ve done with knowing that beforehand and fully blames Shunlei for not forewarning her.

Instead of going back a few years to rescue the missing tomes, Mei Li finds herself thousands of years in the past, with the original events she needs to learn about still 10 years into the future. She is stuck in a hurry-up-and-wait pattern she doesn’t appreciate.

It doesn’t help that this world is full of its own problems, and Mei Li has more than enough of those already. Now she must face shape-shifting demons, volatile water deities, and a murderous sword on a rampage all while trying to figure out why the spell sent her here in the first place.

There are a few side benefits. Mei Li gets to meet younger Shunlei—or Shunlei the Red. Seeing him as a young dragon is fun. It’s also fascinating being with the first group of magical troubleshooters, the original founders before the tomes system ever existed.

And when the past starts to intertwine with the future in ways she could never have predicted, Mei Li prays she’s able to navigate it without ruining the future. If she does, she fully plans on blaming Shunlei for that as well.

Dragons and Magic, yay!

These are great, sometimes a little slow moving but still great storyline without a bunch of cursing and sex. Appropriate for mixed audiences.

Fun, fun, fun!

you have got to read this book! If you love dragons and quests this is the book for you!

enviable romance

Such a fun twist on the princes and the dragon storyline. Honor's books always make me feel better. I love to live vicariously through her heroines. I will glady devour this whole series.

Loved it

Great second installment in this trilogy. Very fun twist on time travel. (I'm not a fan of time travel stories generally, but this was very well done and didn't detract from the story line.) Loved the characters.

a fun addition to the story

Another fast paced whirlwind of a story. I hope to see more world building for the side characters in the next book.
