Indie Weekend is my effort to help Indie Authors with marketing. Marketing is probably the biggest task authors have, and if I can help even a little, I’m happy to do it. You can help too by sharing this far and wide with your social media followers. Indie authors will appreciate that SO MUCH. Below please see my review of DREAMLAND by Patricia Furstenberg and take a historical and literary tour of Romania.
BOOK DESCRIPTION
Discover the untold tales that shaped history and folklore in DREAMLAND through well-crafted 100-word stories: “A Captivating Read, Delightful and Fascinating”, “A Magical Tour Through Romania’s History and Folklore.”
Dreamland reveals the epic narratives and whimsical photography behind the legends we thought we knew, inviting you to dive deeper into a world where history meets myth.
BOOK REVIEW
DREAMLAND is an amazing collection of 100-word stories filled with the folklore and history of Romania. I learned so much from the history presented in this book. The 100-word stories are all excellent and pack a punch. It is not easy to convey a whole plot in 100 words, but the author does it well. The historical facts shared after each story are so well researched, and the author is definitely an expert in Romanian history.
I was fascinated by all the stories, but my favorites were “Elusive Decebalus and the Strei Treasure” and “Full Moon, Magic, and Wolves.” The best way to learn is to be entertained, and Furstenberg is a master at this, providing readers with magical stories while also imparting her great knowledge of Romania.
Dreamland is book two in the ROMANIA IN 100-WORD STORIES series. My review of Book 1, TRANSYLVANIA’S HISTORY A TO Z, is here.
I downloaded this book via Kindle Unlimited, where subscribers can read it for free.
