This book... is probably the best Fairy Tale fantasy I've ever read. It is what Frozen wishes it could have been in its wildest dream when it grew up. It is full of strong female leads that makes you marvel at their decisions. I highly recommend it. If I could give it 6 out of 5 stars, I would.
Reviews and Comments
I'm nobody important. I'm just now getting back into reading in the last few years and I mostly ready Fantasy and Science Fiction. Heavy emphasis on graphic novels, Christian Literature, Non-traditional fantasy settings I love. I also read programming language books and business management books because I'd like to have a successful business at some point or at least be good a managing resources. Currently on a gaming hiatus until the latter happens. I listen to audiobooks often (Wishlist at: libro.fm/wishlist/1384814).

Great Read for Awareness
4 stars
This was a follow-up to my BIFF reading. It's the same author and in this book, he goes deeper into specific personality disorders based on the DSM5 information. It was an enlightening read just like BIFF. I'd recommend this to anyone that has to deal with people in their careers that have aggressive behaviour or display high conflict patterns.
Great Insight
4 stars
I just finished this short book and I must say it provided some great insight into how to respond to inflammatory comments. It also gave some advice regarding redirecting conversations and how to navigate specific kinds of relationships with high conflict people. It is a bit repetitive but that reinforces the concepts so that the reader remembers them at the end. I'll be mentally practicing this technique when encountering challenging individuals that require more grace.

timaeos finished reading 2020: a novel by Kenneth C. Steven
This was an interesting read. Especially given that this was written in the better part of 2015 according the author. It feels too real of a situation and the recent rise of populism just makes it seem eerily close to home. It's a quick read but I wouldn't recommend it just because it's...frustratingly real. Disconcertingly so.
