My Take On Her Books

Having journeyed through the enchanting and diverse realms crafted by Tessonja Odette, I find myself utterly spellbound. Each book, with its unique narrative and captivating characters, is a passport to a world where the age-old battle between good and evil takes on a fresh and imaginative guise. The romances are heartfelt, the adversities are thrilling, and the magic is simply beguiling.

Odette’s ability to weave folklore and fantasy into relatable, human (or sometimes fae) experiences is nothing short of magical. Her books have been a refuge, a place where the heart finds both adventure and solace. From the spellbound halls of fae courts to the perilous depths of enchanted forests, every story is a call to explore the uncharted territories of both the mystical lands and the human heart.

Whether it’s the yearning for justice in “A Throne of Shadows,” the exploration of forbidden love in “A Dream So Wicked,” or the magical reimaginations of beloved fairy tales in “A Taste of Poison” and “Kiss of the Selkie,” each book is a testament to Odette’s prowess as a storyteller. Her ability to entwine romance, adversity, and self-discovery in a cocoon of fantasy is a call to dream, to hope, and to believe in the magic that lies both within and beyond.

As I turned the last page of “To Rule A Fae Throne,” I was left with a sense of longing, a desire for more of the magic Tessonja Odette so effortlessly weaves. Her books are not merely a read, but an experience, a journey through the myriad emotions that define the human—or sometimes fae—existence.
