Why read it?
1 author picked The Alchemist of Souls as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
As with most of my books, I came across these entirely by accident. I don't remember how or where, but I picked one up and then I was on the hunt for the other two. These books are fun, historical with a twist of the fantastic, with secrets, intrigue, and some very interesting and subtle romantic plotlines woven in. I've read these a couple of times now and whenever I glance at my shelf I remember that I want to read them again, to see if I can find something new once more.
From Caitlin's list on historical fiction you can't put down.
