Golden Daughter (Tales of Goldstone Wood #7)
It's hard to write a review that does justice to such a brilliant and painful book like Golden Daughter. "Painful?" you may ask. "Why painful?" And then you'll instantly start picturing of beloved characters getting blown up by silver parachutes, or love triangles, or horrid, evil characters who actually get away with all their horrid, evil doings.No. This book is nothing like that--something far too good. It's painful because it is so remarkably . . . real.So honest, full of truth, fantastic
Ive been looking forward to this story ever since I read Goddess Tithe (you may recall my review of that novella HERE). It was in that story that I fell in love with Sunan, the captain of the Kulap Kanya. I did not realize that this book would contain his back story, and was delighted to find more information about him within the pages.But though Sunans back story is captivating, the novel centers around Masayi Sairu, one of the Emperors Golden Daughters. Trained from birth to be delicate,
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. And wow, I loved it! Of course, I love all of Anne Elisabeth Stengl's books, so I expected nothing less. One of my favorite aspects of the Tales of Goldstone Wood series that although the setting is an imaginary world (or set of worlds, actually), it's obviously inspired by real cultures and geographical locations in our world. The empire in which most of Golden Daughter takes place is based on a mix of East Asian
I'm finally caught up on the Goldstone Novels ...Wow... Every time you think they can't get any better, they do. Wow.
I dont even know where to begin in describing how amazing this book is. Epic, vast, complex, at times humorous, complicated, long (in a good way) would all be apt descriptions. Even though this is book 7 in the series it can be read at any time, chronologically it takes place way before Heartless, Veiled Rose and Moonblood and one mortal year after the Faerie world events of Shadowhand.This is a cosmically complex story. As much as I tend to read books in one sitting I knew I couldnt with this

If you live in North Carolina, you'll remember that it was the first cold rain of the year, made more miserable by the fact that I had forgotten my literature teacher's porch didn't have an overhang, so my lovely, furry boots were soaked. I crept miserably home, determined to curl up somewhere warm with a nice book. But, luckily, I thought

Description In Favor Of Books Golden Daughter (Tales of Goldstone Wood #7)
BEYOND THE REALM OF DREAMS IS A WORLD SHE NEVER IMAGINED Masayi Sairu was raised to be dainty, delicate, demure . . . and deadly. She is one of the emperor’s Golden Daughters, as much a legend as she is a commodity. One day, Sairu will be contracted in marriage to a patron, whom she will secretly guard for the rest of her life. But when she learns that a sacred Dream Walker of the temple seeks the protection of a Golden Daughter, Sairu forgoes marriage in favor of this role. Her skills are stretched to the limit, for assassins hunt in the shadows, and phantoms haunt in dreams. With only a mysterious Faerie cat and a handsome slave—possessed of his own strange abilities—to help her, can Sairu shield her new mistress from evils she can neither see nor touch? For the Dragon is building an army of fire, and soon the heavens will burn.Mention Based On Books Golden Daughter (Tales of Goldstone Wood #7)

When I picked up Golden Daughter, the latest book in Anne Elisabeth Stengls Tales of Goldstone Wood series, I wasnt sure what to expect. (This was probably just as well, since Anne Elisabeth has, in her last few books, made a habit of turning my expectations on their heads.) Golden Daughter sounded like it would be very different from the other Tales, and in many ways, it was. However, its every bit as amazing.For fans of the Tales of Goldstone Wood, Golden Daughter is a book full of questionsIt's hard to write a review that does justice to such a brilliant and painful book like Golden Daughter.
