*** I was granted a copy of Song of Blood & Stone by L. Penelope from St. Martin's Press through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ***

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was refreshing to see a beautiful woman of color as the main character. L.Penelope did a wonderful job with the character development in this book and made me want to find out more about them as I read. It was also refreshing to have a book set in the timeline of the 20's that isn't your typical flapper story. It was nice to see a different world set in my favorite time. The only issue I had was I like my love stories to be a little less perfect. I love to see the flaws in relationships and the struggles that a couple has to go through to get to where they are. I felt like in Song of Blood & Stone the romance was so absolutely perfect that it almost felt unbelievable to me. Other than that little misstep for me, this book was a joy to read. The premise, characters, and the world had me wanting more.
