Flashback Friday: Sweet Black Waves by Kristina Perez

November 13, 2020 by Erin Leave a Comment

This is a feature we started so we could let you all know about some great books that are out there. If you need a reminder about what Flashback Friday is all about, check out the page here.

If you have a Flashback Friday, link it in the comments!

This book was one of my favorites from 2018 and if you can make it through a rough ending, I recommend you pick this one up.  Now granted, you don’t have to wait as long as I did for book 2 since this series is complete so that ending shouldn’t be so bad for anyone deciding to read it now.  This book has everything I love in a good story; interesting characters, a story that will grab you from page one, and of course…swoony bits.  While I know there are mixed reviews / feelings about book 3, I would still encourage anyone who is looking for a YA Fantasy retelling (this is Tristan and Isolde’s story), to pick this one up.

Not you without me, not me without you.

Two proud kingdoms stand on opposite shores, with only a bloody history between them.

As best friend and lady-in-waiting to the princess, Branwen is guided by two principles: devotion to her homeland and hatred for the raiders who killed her parents. When she unknowingly saves the life of her enemy, he awakens her ancient healing magic and opens her heart. Branwen begins to dream of peace, but the princess she serves is not so easily convinced. Fighting for what's right, even as her powers grow beyond her control, will set Branwen against both her best friend and the only man she's ever loved.

About Kristina Perez

A native New Yorker, I’m half-Argentine and half-Norwegian, and I’ve spent the past two decades living in Europe and Asia. I have a penchant for non-defanged vampires, fringe science, ice skating, and dulce de leche.

I also hold a PhD in Medieval Literature from the University of Cambridge and have taught at the National University of Singapore and the University of Hong Kong. As a journalist, I’ve written for many international news outlets covering primarily travel, culture and fine art. To find out more, click here.

These days I live in London where I write both fiction and non-fiction for adults, young adults, and the young at heart!

Top tip: keep chocolate out of my reach––especially bittersweet.

About Erin

In no particular order, I love books, music, and sarcasm. Traveling is one of my most favorite things to do and there are 3 crazy cats that basically run our house. I sometimes talk about all of these things!
