Tiger Lily

Tiger Lily focuses on Tiger Lily of the Sky Eaters and her relationship with Peter Pan. Forced into marriage, she hungers for freedom. She finds the Lost Boys, and falls in love with Peter. The story climaxes when Englishmen arrive and threaten their whole world.

Because Tinkerbell narrates, I felt slightly disconnected from the characters, and the ending was a little rushed. However, I loved Tiger Lily for the way the characters' emotions were portrayed, and how each individual's personality shone. This book is not a light romance, however I do recommend this to people wanting something impacting.

The Girl with Borrowed Wings

The Girl with Borrowed Wings is about Frenenqer Paje, who has always been controlled by her father. One day, she meets Sangris, a shape-shifter, and he takes her flying. He eventually falls in love with her but she has trouble loving him back. Frenenqer needs to deal with her father and this new romance and find her own independence.

I loved this book. Even though a few parts felt a little random and unexplained, the author was very good at making you feel everything that happens. I would recommend this to people who enjoy romance and books about identity.
